Uploading Videos to YouTube
I was playing around with a number of different compression settings for uploading video to YouTube as I was disappointed with how the recompressed .flv files were looking. It worked okay but optimizing it was timeconsuming as each generation require compressing the video and then uploading the 100 MB file into YouTube and waiting for it to be compressed into a FLV before being able to preview its final output.
If you have access to it, I'd recommending using the new Apple iMovie software. It handles this kind of exporting and uploading to YouTube painlessing. I wouldn't use iMovie to edit anything professionally, but taking a finished anamorphic DV file into it totally simplified the hassle of getting widescreen content to playback with the correct aspect ratio correct in YouTube.
That said, I can't wait until Adobe adopts H.264 playback into their Flash plugin.
