Growing Successful Communities

[#1]

Greetings..

We are in the works with our community tutorials and I've been creating video demos to help users better navigate our community.  Videos are great (in my opinion) but when I upload to Youtube and embed I get significant quality loss.  Other than watching in the Lithium sizes on your screen, what can I do to gain better quality at full screen sizes? SWF exports seem to have wonderful quality but Youtube isn't able to convert those formats. Can I code the SWF directly into the post without hosting through Youtube?

Any thoughts on this?

Many thanks!

Johnny,

I've not seen the degradation in quality you are referring to yet...  What quality / format are you saving your source video in, and then uploading to youtube?  Just curious...

Agree with seeing zero degredation on embedding youtube videos. Can you include an example.

Here are some that on our forum. You can check them out for a compare.

the html code is the same anywhere else so this is on youtubes side.

GarenT,

Thanks for the link example. Looks good but if you full screen it there is some loss of quality.

I see this in most you tube video clips though. I guess Im just hoping for more than what's capable right now on youtube. The flash version is full screen and perfect quality but requires user to click another link.

Small little step to climb but worth it for full screen and high quality.

Thanks all for the responses

John
