If you want to set it to 1000 Kbps, the more the merrier. Anything above that seemed to be wasted disk space, and below 550 Kbps I started to notice degredation. (I'm not at my computer right now, but I believe square pixels was the only choice presented to me.) Set the video quality to the maximum on the quality slider.Īfter experimenting with a dozen or so videos, I've found the sweet spot to be an encoding bitrate of about 600 Kbps. Set the size to 320 x 240, square pixels.

In the Adobe Media Encoder, I choose Windows Media, and instead of using a windows media v9 codec, I have an option for a windows media MPEG4 codec.

I don't purport this to be the end-all-be-all best option, but I've been quite satisfied with the results when uploading to Youtube using the following settings. It's VBR with quality set to 90% and encode complexity set to the maximum.' I shoot everything in HD, so I normally try and use 1280x720 when it fits in the 100MB limit or resize to 960x540 if I cross the size limit threshold (and they recently extended the limit if you use the upload tool). I always use WMV format because in my testing it seems to look better. He also sent me this response as to how he sends in HQ videos to YouTube. Jake Ludington has a good article about this on his site. Unfortunately, that means most of the 320x240 videos will never look very good. YouTube is changing its video setup to allow a High Quality video to be shown if you submit it in that format. Leaving the aspect set to square pixels seems to work well, too. See for yourself at youtube, username stanarthur.ĭepending on the format of the source video, I've been known to change the frame rate from 29.97 to 23.97, or from lower field (NTSC) to progressive. My best success so far has been windows media format at 1024 kbps.
