rendering in HD
How can I render my movie with 1208 pixels on 720 pixels. And I don’t want to render it with Quick time. I want to put my video on you tube and it doesn’t accept “.mov” files.

According to YouTube’s help page on uploading higher quality videos they do, in fact, accept .mov files. Rendering your video out as mpeg4 would be a good option. You may also choose to do .wmv, that also works.
And, like Dave said, it should be 1280, not 1208.
YouTube’s help pages are where I got all of this info and, I’m guessing here, probably have the answers to many other questions you may have.

Read (yes, I know, reading) this article on Ken Stone’s site. It tells you the best settings to use for YouTube to prevent their backend system from crushing the quality of your video. The article is for Compressor but the settings and concept are the same.
If you use just any old settings YouTube will recompress the video, resulting in double-taxed pixel soup.

That page is over a year old and is very out of date. YouTube’s uploading process has completely changed since then. For example, you can now upload HD footage. Look for a newer source.

Thank you for helping with you tube. But I still don’t have an answer for my first question ( I forgot to put a question mark). To be a little more precise, Is there a way to have a mpg or avi (that is not uncompressed) in HD? Mpg only lets me render 720 on 480. But i want a better quality (1280 on 720). And I tried lots of options. I just also don’t really want to render in quicktime because the video is really weird and don’t have the right shading and colors. (It can’t even to a glow properly). Than you for your help 🙂 , I really appreciate it.

WMV does HD very nicely. (Quicktime should work. Something must be weird on your system or something.)
