Thanks for the fast reply John.

I’m not really sure how to use the FCC. I brought it up and to say it’s a little confusing to me is an understatement! If you could point me towards and online resource that explains it a little that would be appreciated.

As I said before, the blacks on the original AVI are, well, very “black”. The video is sourced from a a program (CamStudio) that has recorded directly from my PC desktop.

I tried setting the WMV image quality slider to ‘maximum’ in the Adobe Media Encoder section also.

I might play around with saving in other formats to see if that helps, though as the target audience is YouTube, again I need to keep the file size to a minimum.

Mike.
