Eww, WMV is the most ridiculously antiquated format ever.

Re: Best Video Format.

YouTube recommends MPEG but everyone I've heard from gets inferior results using that.  I use h.264 with a .mov container, there is a tutorial on my channel for how to encode a video in h.264 for HD upload.

Re: Best Video Format.

I've had great results with uploading in flash. Youtube uses the On2 flash codec to encode all their videos, why not simply upload it in the FLV On2 codec? It makes my video ready to view with a process time of like 2 or 3 minutes not the hours I would have to wait back in the day when I was uploading very very compressed XVID .AVIs.
