[Morty Aronsen] “1. Best settings for You Tube videos – under 10 min; your codec and your custom settings for video and audio”
I like to use Sony AVC with one of the Internet… templates. Since DVCAM is SD 4:3 video, the “Internet 640×360-30p” template should work fine.

I’ve never posted a video to Facebook but you should get great results from the same Sony AVC Internet templates.
[Morty Aronsen] “3. Best settings for WMV. under 25 min. unlimited space and unlimited time of rendering (sometimes I want to show videos directly from my pc)- your codec and your custom settings for video and audio”
I don’t use WMV. I would still use Sony AVC for this as well. It’s the one codec I use for all my PC videos.

Use the MainConcept MPEG-2 render type with the DVD Architect NTSC video stream template for 4:3 video (or the PAL template if you are not in the US or Japan). Then render your audio as Dolby Digital AC-3 Pro using the Stereo DVD template. If you give them the same name just with different extensions, then DVD Architect will know that the files go together. then just author your DVD in DVD Architect.
