VERY useful. Thanks!

I have uploaded lots of videos to YouTube, and followed their recommendations about using MP4, etc. This guy's stuff looks awfully good, so I'm going to try his template.

Good info. I'll try that also.

I have uploaded as WMV before and didn't notice much difference but I was probably using a lower bit rate.

IIRC (and I should 'cos I wqas there yesterday) YouTube likes mpeg4 video at 320x240 amd Mpeg2or3 audio. I use the MainConcepts codex. Did a 90 second demo Ad and put it to YouTube yesterday in fact using these settings. You can see it here:

Seems like a good and simple method for the NTSC world but it would have been useful if he'd mentioned that 50i / PAL material should be rendered at 25fps.

(p.s. I sincerely hope that YouTube aren't increasing the framerate of my PAL material to 30fps. I've checked that the framerate of a downloaded .gvi video from Google Video is still 25fps but I'm not sure if it's possible to measure the framerate of Google's or Youtube's Flash videos).

I posted my results previously here
In my opinion his result would be about the same using either wmv or Sony mp4. I don't think his version of Vegas has Sony mp4 thats why he optimized wmv. I think his source footage has a bigger factor (pana dvx 100?) I would like to know how youtube treats video shot in progressive mode.

Great info! How would I handle video that is shot in 16:9 anamorphic video? Thanks for the help?
