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.

Telcos are falling over themselves to launch app stores – but are the app developers listening? Most telcos will need to do a lot more to engage their attention.
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?
With the number of mobile broadband users more than doubling in 2009, and soon to exceed fixed broadband, the Internet saw a historic transition this year – and the long-term effects are incalculable.
Comparing Internet services is tough because service providers price and market their services based on a best-case scenario connection that most consumers will never enjoy.
In the final episode of this series about the death of Internet anonymity, Saunders describes how the Internet of the future will start to attain a level of intelligence that requires no human intervention. Scary.
What can users today do to protect their online privacy? The simplest and most obvious option is to not use the Internet – at all. However, once all digital information is consolidated over the Internet, trying to protect digital identity by simply unplugging from the Internet becomes impossible – a fact that has manifest implications for civil liberties, Saunders says.
By 2011 the number of Internet-connected sensors will exceed 1 trillion, making your chances of doing anything or going anywhere unnoticed pretty much zero. Saunders talks about how the 'sensortization' of the Internet is eliminating the traditional divide between online and offline populations.
The 20th Century Internet was characterized by the ability to interact with other people and information on the Internet largely without anyone knowing who you were. The Internet of this century, conversely, will be defined by identity. Saunders explains how Internet users are unwittingly contributing to the demise of the anonymous Internet.
How do you recognize an Internet bubble when you see one? Saunders explains how all bubbles have four symptoms in common – and takes a swipe at Google and Twitter into the bargain.
