You can't compare bitrate of DVD which uses MPEG2 and HD video which usually uses MPEG4, e.g. for the same 480p, MPEG2 will require higher bitrate to achieve the same quality as MPEG4 or H.264, to say the other way, at the same bit rate MPEG4 or H.264 gives much better quality than MPEG2.

TLDR - N9 plays YouTube videos on 480i only and thus the quality looks bad ?
EDIT 2! First, how bad does the 480i look on the N9?
Second, I agree with Jakiman that having to convert stuff to playback properly on the phone is a bummer.. why put up with an extra step?

And the N8 has?
btw, 3630 can and should play 720P easily, so it's not the hardware.

If you need your phone to play video at the same speed and quality as a 40 inch HDTV does, you need to pick one specialized for that task. (So far, the HTC top-of-the-line phone, called "Rezound" in Verzion's lineup, is the only one that has a native 720p screen resolution, and so is the first one I'd actually consider decent for playing real HD video.)
Remember, you're asking your phone to become a high-definition television set. The hardware needed to do that (and do it well) has only become widely available in the last year or so. The N9 just doesn't have the latest bleeding-edge GPU silicon...
