Im trying to find some good settings to use to compress a video I've made in iMovie 4 so I can upload it to youtube as my first Youtube video ever. I plugged a camcorder into my 4:3 non HD tv to record some Call of Duty games. Surprisingly the quality was pretty good I have no problem reading any of the text or anything like that. I've finished editing the video I want to upload, which I did in iMovie 4. I cant figure out how to find the size of the whole video but all it is, is a 5 minute 9 second game and the video for the game is 1.05 GB, the song is 48.7 MB and the title screen thing is 13.4 MB in iMovie 4. So the whole thing together should be like 1.056 GB. That .006 GB i just added is pretty negligible I know but I didnt want you thinking I was ignoring the music and stuff I added, or something. I do have a .mov of the video as it was edited but the file size is only 64 KB for some reason and not surprisingly it wont upload to YouTube, but the quality is very close to what it is in iMovie, its just a little brighter. I've already tried compressing the file using setting I found on some website but the quality of the compressed video was pretty damn bad. Can anyone recommend some settings I could use to compress without losing much quality in my video or music? If you need any more information you can just ask, I dont really know what you need to take into consideration when compressing so I dont know what else to tell you as of now. I'll be check back pretty often so I can add details if needed.
