ok i'm sure this has been asked before so i'm sorry in advance, couldn't find it.
how the hell do you put something up on youtube without the compression pooing all over your work? any advice?

sorry, just seems to poo all over my work too - its happiest with pieces with little movement in it, as is the nature of all compression..I believe it is a lowbandwidth flavor of onvp2 flv, which it does entirely without any controls from the user :/

booooooooo
pieces with little movement. what's the point of that then? oh the pain.

youtube not only compresses—around 200 kbs for image and a bit more allocated for sound—they also downscale to 320x240 and stretch it to fill the player frame.
Most video sharing sites do that to avoid bandwidth and processor issues (that may affect playing when more than one app or video are open).
I think brightcove is the only site that has better compression and does not stretch the videos as much, but they are not geared towards UGC.

they suggest resizing it first to minimize pooing.

i actually have a couple videos in the works that just might gain from the compression, they're already made to look like shitty video. i'm just not completely sold on using youtube yet...considering blip.tv...any others people might suggest?

is the source file 720 x 576?
i think this is about as good as you'll get it
- vespa0
nice vid. yea mine's 720 576, there's so much movement in it tho and like mikotondria says compression doesn't like movement

they pay best with the producer rewards program (I admit, I work for them, but it's still true)
