In all my research for YouTube in the previous post I decided to create a tutorial for Windows movie maker with all my new found knowledge. I figured since this is a video site I should attempt to create a video tutorial. Here is my first one

Like most people I hate the sound of my recorded voice. Perhaps next time I can hire Don LaFontaine.

I used camtasia to capture the screen and then I edited in Vegas Studio. Creating keyframes to zoom in on the screen was a bit of a hassle.

I would really like to hear some feedback so leave a comment to let me know what you think.

YouTube.com is a widly popular video sharing site. I recently wanted to upload some videos and thought I would share some info I have found.
The maximum size of the video can be 100M. YouTube accepts MPEG, MOV and AVI and I think MP4.

Once you upload the video YouTube reencodes the video into a Macromedia Flash Streaming format(LFV) which is displayed at 425X350. However the actual size of the video is 240X180. This makes the quality suffer a bit.

It seems like you can upload 320X240 or 720X480 and the final quality is not affected either way. I also tried some experiments with MPEG versus MOV and again I could not really see any difference in the final product. I think the sound quality was a little better when I did the initial encoding in MPEG.
