When you upload a video to DropBox it is converted to another format in
order to preserve space(AFAIK).

copy is back on my hard drive but I wondered if anyone had any idea what

That *should* fix that, since it would make sense for streaming video being
compressed and downloaded being original.

P.S I am not an expert on DropBox, but merely offering some insight on
possible causes :)
