Hello Laurie,
If you want to take advantage of Facebook’s new HD streaming, your video should be quicktime 1280×720. A data rate around 6000 Kbps seems to work fine.

see kenstone.net for some enlightening articles on how to process clips for the likes of YouTube and vimeo but Facebook? I dunno. With all HD online files, the main problem is the speed of the server, the speed of the connections to yoru viewer, and their machine’s viewer settings. You have control over none of those.
also, you can google artciles by “Jan Ozer.” He is the guru of all online distribution and compression systems. If you want to make a living doing good online delivery you simply MUST buy his training DVD.
full disclosure: I do not receive compensation for being a Jan-fanboy although I have received a free copy of his DVD. It is FABULOUS.
