@Afroz: I have definitely tried Vimeo and am very impressed with its quality. Only reason I stick with YouTube is because of its reach; everyone’s on YouTube. Plus Vimeo seems to have a different audience and maybe a different aim. InshaAllah if and when sites like Vimeo surpass YouTube in popularity, I’ll see about switching over.

Have you tried Vimeo.com, it seems like their video quality is better, and so is the production quality of the material that is on their site.

Interesting software. Belal (and others), I’m going to let you in on a secret. All the stuff I’ve been uploading in HD is actually upscaled.

I simply had backups of the original captures in DV-AVI and output it in 1280×780 through Adobe Media Encoder. Results turned out nice, and now after trying the H.264 codec in mp4 format it looks to be even better!

From now on, though, inshaAllah, I’ll be capturing in HDV (1080i) and then downscaling to 720p. We’ll see if that brings a difference.

I wonder what the results of using Magic Bullet Instant HD will have on SD video when working w/ YouTube.

HD takes forever to load. But its def. worth it if you have the bandwidth, everything looks awesome in HD. Especially poorly authored skits directed towards young children trying to control their anger.

Belal, your advice is always golden for me, jazakAllah khair. I started playing around with mp4 format in the H.264 codec and the results are quite spectacular. Go Premiere Pro’s powerful Adobe Encoder for the win.

I guess I never explored outside WMV because I was stuck in the "YouTube limits filesizes to 100MB" days. Now that we’re passed that, it’s time to move on!

ya HD on youtube is sick. it does take a lil longer to load, but its definitely worth it.

lol. WMV so far has given me the worst results in my HD testing so far.
