I shot some test video with my Canon ZR850. This was weeks ago. Since then, I've been trying to figure out how to export a DV video in a format that looks good on YouTube. And I've been trying to do it on a PC. Video editing on a PC is probably the definition of insane. I know that now.
I may have finally figured out a file format that works, at least, with the high quality video that YouTube can do. It's MOV format, h.264, fps 29.7, and 640 by 480. I exported a video with those settings using Adobe Premiere. The standard quality looks like crap, but the high quality version doesn't look all that bad. It does show the limitations of flash video. And it didn't help things that I shot green bushes on a windy day. Never the less, this is test video, and I was able to learn from it.
The source video was shot on an overcast day with windy conditions. This is the High Quality version on YouTube:
I suggest everybody create an account on YouTube and select High Quality video by default.

From a Hole in the Sky
13 Stories of Horror, Madness, and Religion make up this dark-kudzu collection. A city run by angels with demanding burial rites. A white van jostling with clowns and warnings about sleep. A weeping pastor with a dead man in a boat. Homicide, Suicide, Jesus, and The Devil. To join a family, you're going to need some stitches. Kids today on their way to cut grass and play cowboys and injuns'. A hole in the ground where poor John Henry met a foul ending. And unholy birthing machines with a chosen one. All this and more. Where do bad things come from? They come FROM A HOLE IN THE SKY.
