That was funny! How did you encode for Youtube? The video looks like having better quality than usual.

Shot on HVX200 in 720p, encoded to WMV at 3MBS then uploaded. Weird but works every time

Not to be a killjoy, but this isn't red footage and should really be in the Off Topic section.

The following is pure speculation on my part:

There is this trick that I am not sure that will always work. The Youtube requirements says that submitted movies be of size 320 x 240, however, YouTube display is little over 400 x (something), and hence, it appears YouTube is upsampling on playback. If you download a YouTube FLV file, mostly it is 320x240, which gives me an indication that they are perhaps doing something during playback for a larger size, and hence, blockiness is apparent many times.

However, YouTube does not stop one from publishing a larger sized video. Therefore, when YouTube downsizes it to its preferred size, the quality seems better than submitting a 320x240 video.

Take into account that it also depends on the original pixel count. If you got high quality SD or HD footage, it'll still look awesome when compressed.
