Apparently you have to do some trickery to get it to work, which is kind of
lame.

Following the steps in the tutorial here:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=08NI4cy4zik

You get a pristine looking video at under 1 minute, down to slightly better
than YouTube results at 4 minutes. Apparently over 4 minute videos won't
work.

I don't think you actually need the tool the guy recommends, you just need
to know the right command line hashes for FFMPEG (meaning you should be able
to use FFMPEGX or WinFF or SUPER). Licensing a copy of the On2 codec
probably wouldn't hurt either.

If you click the More link in his description for the video, he definitely
has a bunch of great looking footage posted (relative to the way other
YouTube vids look at least).

I've heard that you can actually upload a video in flash format and it won't get transcoded. It'll maintain whatever quality in which it was uploaded....

That's awesome if it's true. I don't have time to test this right now, but I would love to know if it works. -- *Adam Quirk* / Producer, Wreck & Salvage LLC /...

I believe this is true. The nudie video looked very good indeed. YouTube limits uploads to 100MB (does it still work that way, been a while) so they are not...

I'm fairly certain this doesn't work anymore, unfortunately. We've tried a half dozen methods to get better encoding quality on YouTube and none of them work...
