Thanks for the quick and detailed reply Bill. Again, congrats to you and your pals in post production for posting such a sharp looking, sounding and smooth motion video!! Keep up the great work.
Thanks for your praise! I helped with setting up the video, but our video editors deserve a lot of it. There are 2 important pieces to producing high quality video for the internet: source and bitrate.
The most important thing to start with is a quality source. These videos were shot with a high quality digital camera. This also makes the transfer to computer easier.
We then use Avid for digital editing, and export it to the Windows Media format, using the v9 encoder. The bitrate you see here is 768k, which is a high enough bitrate to provide nice, smooth video. You can get away with lower bitrates if you have a smaller final video (320x180, for example).
Nice story and footage; but what was really amazing was the quality of the video posted!! Excellent work; not blocky or artifacting; just clean and sharp. Kudos to the post team who did this.
Maybe you could share some insight on the tools used to do this; it would be greatly appreciated.

The iPhone has created a new form of the 80/20 rule, according to AT&T, which claims only 3% of iPhone users generate 40% of wireless traffic. But is that really a justification for usage caps and pricing tiers? What did AT&T think was going to happen with the iPhone pricing plan, and are they shoveling something else at us now that we're hooked?
