Video file conversion help needed...

[Feste]

I just finished editing a video and posting it on youtube. I had a bugger of a time reducing the file size and I still am not convinced that the quality or the clarity is very good. I am open to suggestions and would really appreciate anyone who can help me with file conversion. I edited the video with Final Cut HD and exported using QuickTime Conversion and the following settings:


Compression: H.264
Quality: Best
Key Frame rate:24
Frame reordering: yes
Encoding: multi pass
Dimensions: 640x480

I then used Visual hub to get the file size down to 100mb.

one of these links should work:

Okay, first, don't compress twice. Export from Final Cut in its native size/quality and codec (I'm assuming DV).

Then use something like Visual Hub to compress that file down to H.264. I'd suggest de-interlacing and pre-shrinking the frame size down to 320 x 240 (the native size of YouTube videos) and using around 1000 kbps to preserve quality. That should be perfectly fine.
