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 think you can download a program to upload files larger than 100mb's. However it is only for a PC... MACs are left out. A while ago, I tried to upload a Flash file, and YT still compressed it again. It looked awful. Has YT changed this recently? sjs On Feb 13, 2008 1:51 PM, influxxmedia <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I believe this is true. > > The nudie video looked very good indeed.
