(From The Los Angles Final Cut Pro User's Group -- By Philip Hodgetts)
What people forget when uploading video to YOUTUBE is you are sending them a master to compress, therefore send the highest quality you can, that fits with their limitations.
YOUTUBE is well known for being the busiest video sharing site, but unfortunately YOUTUBE uses the much older SORENSON SPARKE codec for their video encoding.
This was the "improved" video format for FLASH 7 but is based on the very old H.263 video conferencing codec.
Even when new this was an old, inefficient codec.
Many people send YOUTUBE an already compressed video, similar to what they put on their websites and are disappointed when they see the quality that results on YOUTUBE.
That's because most of the information was first thrown away by the encode before upload, so there was little quality left to be encoded to FLASH 7.
Uploading Movies To YouTube With Maximum Quality
