Need your advice on selecting the output for youtube with these sample videos.

Ok the first one I rendered with "Window Media Video V11"

Second one is rendered with "Sony AVC (*.mp4, *m2ts ,*.avc)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzNaBMfcgC0

And the third is rendered with "XDCAM EX(*.MP4)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVt6YbBob0E


Now can anyone tell a difference?

It appears to me that the second one is best. But barely beats #3.

Number one is the worst out of the 3.

Is there a render output that you use that might be better? id like to know. Thanks

NOTE:
there were color corrections used.
From 9 seconds to 19 seconds there were no colors modified. It was taken right at sunset.

Yes, you used one of them in your second example. AVC *IS* h.264. Different name for the same thing. The other two that are available to you are the Mainconcept one, and the aforementioned quicktime one which I never use.
