  best formats for posting on forums

  When uploading to forums, is there a specific format/file type/size/ special encoding to save a video? (speed and quality wise)

  It depends on the forum. Most people upload their video to YouTube or Vimeo and post a link. MPEG4 AVC/H.264 is the current format of choice for low bit-rate high quality video.

  I’ve heard the same thing John said, but I also heard YouTube will re-encode anything you send in and to send in the best quality video you have, even avi as long as it’s within the youtube limits of 10 minutes long, and 1 gig in file size. I’ve had good results with 1280 x 720 WMV files also. Here’s a sample of one.

  Click on the “HD” button and wait for the buffer to fill.
