We use H.264 Quicktime compression, .mov extension, high setting, 480x360 (4:3), keyframes every 210, limit data rate to 1500k, optimized for streaming (size saver!), AAC sound at 96kbitsorwhatever.

We hardly go over 50 MB in file size, which means you upload much faster and the qualit is awesome! H.264 is very slow to process, but it's the best web codec EVER! Setting the resolution higher than 320x240 doesn't affect file size as much as you'd think, and the end result is much better after YouTube recompresses. If you don't already, you should also shoot and edit in 24P. It looks more like film and takes less space! CHEERS!

Dave, these specifications were FANTASTIC -- of all the tips I found online, they by far produced the best quality. Thanks!
