Best Youtube compression?

[XiaoSu Han]

Hey, does anyone have experience with the best possible Youtube compression?

I think a while back it was Sorenson codec but that might have changed?

Would be happy for any good recipies

To upload to youtube or to create high quality FLVs?

To upload to youtube is almost like Vimeo now... H264 bitrate around 5mbps and for 720p you're good to go.

I don't understand about fancy encoders though, I just use Adobe Media Encoder.

yes to upload to youtube... I might just go with the 720p plugin of the new compressor first and then take it from there...
