Yeah I stream from Youtube so that I don’t give up hdd space and bandwidth.
I definitely like H.264. Mind you, my videos are not HD either, which will definitely look better, IMO, but I am happy with what I got.
I can send you my settings for the H.264 codec, don’t know if they will work for you, but it would be a start. Let me know. (You can pm me at rcerini at gmail dot com)
