Describe the bug

The videos are outdated in terms of quality, and some are finding them too blurry to be useful. Here is an example of some text from one video, where the n = input(...) line is barely readable:

The max quality of the videos is 360p, which on most monitors today, isn't great and causes quite a bit of eye strain.

I am well aware of the blurry videos. I had hoped that some students could recreate them for me this summer but that didn't happen. I really don't have the time to remake them all.

@sheggen I recommend we have some Berea summer interns do this or maybe we could get a few using labor over breaks?
