Youtube quality compression with Squeeze
I’m running Vegas 10 pro and Sorenson squeeze 7. I’m trying to compress 720 x 480 avi video into something about the size of what I find on youtube. It seems that most of the videos on there are something like 5 MB/minute, and they can be shown at full screen at pretty decent quality, IMO.
The best I seem to be able to get is something like 100 MB/minute with Squeeze.
I’m rendering out using the main concept 720 X 480 29.97 mpeg-2 preset. I understand that the videos on youtube are saved as mp4, however most of my clients are PC only and I dont really want to ask them to download quicktime, or some other media player or codec pack. Even at the 100 MB/minute compression, which looks and sounds great on my machine, seem to have a lot of problems playing on my clients PCs.
Could anybody steer me in the right direction here?

How about this, what mpeg-2 settings would be closest to flv?

There is a free Youtube plugin from Vegasaur that I can confirm works from the timeline in SVP10:

Nigel, Thanks for the link. But what im after is something that does youtube quality and that i can put on a disc and my client can stream off the disc without saving to the hard drive.
to all, I dont seem to be getting a lot of answers here. Anybody know of a good forum solely dedicated to video compression with some decent traffic? I never imagined compression would be such a pain in the neck. Having all kinds of wierdness from sorenson, sometimes the audio wont be in the export at all, sometimes there are some lags in the audio or errors in the video (kind of like when your tv loses signal for a moment and everything goes all blocky with squres fo red green and blue.
I really would have thought a good quality compression that goes to avi or mpeg-2 would be widely used and easy to get in any compression package on video editor. I doubt im the only one who needs this exact thing for their clients.
Thanks all
