Hi,
I have successfully uploaded two video files to youtube. Here's the problem: post-upload the first one looks OK, the second looks TERRIBLE. Both of them looked decent pre-upload.\

The first clip was posted in MP4. Fine.

I've uploaded the second clip four times--in MP4, in MP4 after reprocessing to increase sharpness, in MPEG2, and in MPEG2 after reprocessing for increased sharpness. The MPEG2 clips came out slightly better looking, but both of the original, non-sharpness-boosted clips were so blurry that they were painful to watch, while both of the increased sharpness clips were FAR more distorted, almost indecipherable.

Of course, youtube's video compression causes loss of image quality, but the second clip was damaged MUCH more than the first. Questions are why, and what, if anything, can I do about it?

Perhaps the difference in quality is because the second video was shot outdoors in front of a screen of trees and leaves getting blown in the breeze, so there's much more motion than in the first clip, which consisted of one individual indoors, standing on a stage.

Any thoughts???

Thanks!
