i uploaded this
vimeo.com/5003645
vid today and although i followed all the guidelines it just doesnt look nice. all artefacted. when using the recommended data rate of 1800 kb/s it already looks crappy before uploading. the source material is 720x576. what can i do? i see so many not HD movies on here that look so much better.
in my despair i even scaled my video up to 1024x720 and tried to upload it as a "fake" HD movie. but no gain from that either.
thanks for helping me!
guess i will try to do native HD next time, that will surely yield better quality i believe! thanks anyway!
your video looked fine to me.
