Here are the settings I have been using for my HQ YouTube videos for HDV filmed on a widescreen camcorder (Canon HV20). All of my video uploaded since 05/07/08 has used the settings.Even videos with lots of motion in them, like trains, can look really good on the YouTube servers. The video covers just the project and encoding settings, not the in between editing.\n\n*** After uploading it sometimes takes as long as 3 DAYS for YouTube to get the HQ version in to their processingso only the \"standard\" quality version will show until then. ***\n\nSony Vegas Pro 8\n\nCustom template - MainConcept MP4\n640x480\nProfile: Base\nFrame Rate: 29.970\nField Order: None, Progressive Scan\nRatio: 1.000000\nQuality: Best\nBit Rate: min 500kbps, max 900 Canon, edit, HDV, HQ, HV20, Pro, Quality, Settings, Sony, tutorial, Vegas, video, YouTube
