ok everyone. Im very confused about uploading videos to youtube and keeping the best quality. I have recorded a few skits and a new short film with a Pentax Optio t30 digital camera. The movie quality is EXCELLENT in its original format (.MOV). I have edited with final cut pro and exported them with quicktime movie. This gives me the best quality so far when watching them on desktop computers. I have looked through threads on other sites and they say its best if you upload with MPEG-4 with specific settings to get the best quaility. After using the quicktime conversion to MPEG-4 with there settings, the quality was horrible. I have done about 5 skits and 1 short film on this camera ranging from 30 secs to 7 mins and now it seems as if it was a waste since I cant upload to youtube and get the good quailty of the camera.
I'm wondering what I should do?I have also seen the youtube multi-vid uploader which says you can upload a video with a max of 1gig. Does that mean I wouldn't lose as much quality?or should I try to encode the clips myself into .FLV then upload them?
