I got an idea for a short (4 min 21 sec) video, but this will be the first one I've ever done.  I would like to (eventually, if I ever finish it) post it to you tube. 

However, and this is the big question.  What's the best resolution and format to use if I'm going to do this??  I'd rather start building my Bryce project(s) for this video in the best format to start with, rather than doing a ton of work and then finding out I did it all wrong.

Has anyone done this and can you give me some tips??

Could be worse, could be raining.

Nice to see you back, Ricky! ;-)
I'd suggest you have a loook at Youtube and see how they do it.

I've done some research already, but I'm in the process of reviewing my data.

I was working an a video and had some scenes completed, when a nice Hard Drive crashed wiped it all out.

I'm about to start all over again...

Initialy I was working in DVD format 720x480  but with HD DVD becoming main stream... I'm considering doing the video in 1080i or 1080p

There is also Frame Rate to consider.... NTSC DVD's are something like. 29.97 or 30 Frames Per Second.

When you upload a video to Youtube it gets downgraded to 15 or 20 frames per second to meet with Flash Media standards.

I'm typing this in a hurry since I have to leave soon.. but I will come back some more concrete data.

I read somewhere, about  Rendering lets say 60 to 96 Frames Per second and than using some Video multiplexing tools, to do some processing.

Giving the video that Silky smooth Movie like look and feel.

So the stuff at YouTube is flash??  I've got the Macromedia Suite, so I guess I could put it together with that.

I will make it at a high and low frame rate.  I doubt I'll ever get further than You Tube, to be honest, but I suppose you never know.

You tube will take whatever you upload and convert it to their own specs.

Depends on what you want to do with the video and what audience to reach?

In my case, I think some will request a high quality version in .AVI or .MPEG format so thats what one of the considerations.

I read a few tutorials on You Tube ... it sounds as if everyone has a different take on what format to use and the resolution as well.

The nearest I can figure is 640x480 and 30 fps ... so I guess that's what I'll use.  Seems awfully tiny, but ... what the hey.
