YouTube Video?

http://www.averagebetty.com Just curious, what camera do you have, and did you buy it solely to tape yourself and put it on youtube? Anyways, about the video quality. In order for people to watch video over the internet, it needs to be super-compressed, otherwise, we'd be dead before it finished loading. Just let me say here that if all you wanted to do was to tape yourself for youtube, HD was major MAJOR overkill. Youtube's standard is 640x480. Anything smaller than that gets upsized. Anything bigger, downsized. Now in theory, HD video, when downsized, should look perfect. But depending on what codec you used (which I cant help you with, because you didnt mention it), video will either look perfect, or like a piece of ****, even at the same file sizes. For me, I find that windows media's codecs usually work great for me. Quicktime is a good format, but choosing between the subcodecs is confusing, and I use it only when I want uncompressed video. So try some different codecs (windows media 9 if I were you), then look at the video. Chances are it should look okay (notice I didnt say perfect), and still have a relatively small file size. If you mean bad quality as in the quality of a windows media codec, then I cant help you. There is no way to get artifact-less crystal clear HD quality streaming (keyword: streaming) video over the internet, at least for most people anyways. Hope this helps! yeap. no mather its $50,000 its still a crap video in youtube. I don't think you have a problem with you camera there. Youtube lower the quality of your videos because higher quality videos consumes a lot of internet connection source.
