I would also help you with moving the files from Youtube to Commons but
Youtube doesn't allow downloading them. I could hack it and grab the FLV
stream and transcode that but I'd rather would like to get the files
directly from you to minimize quality loss. Is there a way you can share
the rendered files - in whatever original format they are?
I can also offer a FTP upload.
If you want to upload the original videos, and as such, want them downloaded, you can try the tool, clipconverter.cc
I haven't noticed quality loss using the above tool. However, the videos will be in .mp4 formats.
