Default Online Video Encoding

Have been looking for the best quality, zero cost, online video solution and I think vimeo.com seems to be the best I can find

I followed the codec recommendations on vimeo's website (helpful) and used ffmpegx on a mac (ffmpeg on 'doze is basically the same), I also tried this with youtube . . . the vimeo video is 'good enough' for online and the youtube is pretty second rate in comparison . . .

Vimeo : http://www.vimeo.com/4854413

Youtube : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKecJ46r3HU

ffmpeg is free and very good IMHO, wreckommended

Have you tried the youtube HQ/HD setting? I couldn't find it on your video but it usually sharpens things up quite a bit.

Neat video, that course is NARROW! Still, looks like fun!

Yeah, not sure why the HD thing on youtube sometimes appears and sometimes doesn't . . . in any case vimeo comes out better than youtube HD also . . .

Settings I use in ffmpegx are

Video
H264, 2048kbit/s, 640x480, 4:3, PAL(25fps), de-interlace with a crop filter of 4,4,8,8 to remove the border/noise on PAL recordings.

Audio
AAC, 128kbit/s, 44100Hz, Stereo, CBR
