render for YouTube
The WMV renders I’ve been trying look OK, but end up too large (100mb limit)The Web-streaming forum suggested using H.264, Mp4 in Vegas. I tried the two render options that have Mp4 as a file type, (didn’t see H.264) but both looked pretty bad.
Now, I’m talking about BEFORE the youtube compression. I at least want to input something something decent. Not expecting beauty, just something that won’t make me gag.Any help appreciated.

They convert everything to flash. So start with flash 8. Match the frame size and they won’t have to screw with it. Remember, they just need the flv file not the swf file with player.

Thanks, Raymond MP,
I assume Vegas doesn’t render to that. Do you know of a flash converter that um, won’t take me days to learn how to use? That might be inexpensive?
Thanks -
I did know you could actually upload an .flv file to youtube. Are you saying they will just pass it through without reconverting? What frame size, frame rate do you need to use to do this?
I have Flash CS3 to convert, so sorry but I don’t know of other converters.
thanks,

By far the best flash encoder is by On2. They invented the Flash 8 codec which Adode licenses.
Basically, you render your Vegas timeline out to avi or mov and then encode that to an flv of whatever bit rate you choose.

320×240 – 30fps – start with 400bps – the flv file should then be served up as is.

Does the limited version (ie $40.00 version) also create the players and well as convert the videos? Do you have to have any other programs in order for it to work?

I read somewhere that YouTube uses the Flash 7 codec… so the ONLY way to get them NOT to re-encode your movie is to use flash 7. If you use flash 8 they will re-encode and it will look horrible. I haven’t tried this myself, but it makes sense, the typical youtube video doesn’t look good enough to be flash 8 on2.

Actually, now that I think about it, I think I read that in a recent issue of the Cow magazine (the flash 7 thing).

If I’m creating and rendering my project in Vegas 8, but use Sorenson Squeeze for Flash rendering, what would be the best setting/option/? within Sorenson for uploading to YouTube?
Thanks

I didn’t know that. That’s unfortunate – Flash 7 is very inferior to Flash 8 with larger file sizes. What is YouTube thinking???
