I posted a question about a week ago about how to get best quality on youtube. I recently shot a short commercial for the Heinz Ketchup Contest on an HDV-200 w/p2 cards. I had alot of issues trying to get the best quality on youtube. For some reason I could only get higher quality when i mistakenly uploaded a version of the 30 seconds commercial that had a blacked timeline through 2 minutes. Does anyone know if youtube gives higher quality to videos that are lengthier? I tried everything and it doesn't make any sense. The first link below is the version that is entered into the contest (low quality, 30 seconds) and the second link is the one that was longer (2:10) but somehow retained higher quality under the same export settings, which makes no sense to me. If anyone cares to see my 2nd entry, it is the third link, with eqaully low quality. I know this is an ongoing debate about quality on youtube but does anyone know anymore about whether or not youtube will move into the HD realm?

The better looking one is 23.97 FPS.

I just used Quicktime pro to trim out the
black trailer. The file size only dropped
400k Bytes.
The sorenson codec is using all the
bitrate for the motion part.

Retry your compression at 23.97 without
the black and see what the final size is.
