My guess is that you are playing it in your browser without mp4 support so you get the webm which is lower quality.

I prefer free formats myself so I just get the webm one myself.  I think the quality of it is fine.

If you want the higher quality video, you need a browser that advertises the ability to play mp4.  For more info so:
