Deniz, great job! Perfect job, actually! I have a hard time getting my videos to come out in quality like that. How do you do it?

Thanks! Making Videos is my job

I'm using Sony Vegas 8 HD Pro- and following Render-preferences (you can use following preferences in the most cases for HD-Uploads):

* Rendering @1280x720x32
* Video Bitrate @2000kbit/s
* Audio Bitrate @192kbit/s
* Video Container: *.wmv
* Video Codec : Xvid
* Audio Codec : MP3

Thanks again

If you're watching a YouTube Video, which is HD-READY (so if you haven't clicked on the HD-Button yet) the Video will be played in HQ- so you don't have to listen to the OST in HD- the Sound won't be better (or just a lil bit, you won't feel or hear the difference).
But if you watch a YouTube Video which is HQ-READY (so if you haven't clicked on the HQ-Button yet) the video Quality will be played in the worst quality YouTube provides.
If you're watching a YouTube Video where is no HQ and HD Button, you can try adding 'fmt=18' at the end of the YouTube Link to make the Video HQ. This little 'hack' makes just sense by older videos at YouTube- in most cases they're at least HQ-Ready.

Xvid and MP3 in a wmv container? I never would have thought to try that; I typically only use .wmv with windows media codecs.

It's your world, dog! I'm just a squirrel trying to get a nut!
But, yes, I did hear Battle Not Alone! I didn't say it before? Guess not. So, I'll say it now:

Oh My God! Loved it! It must be a sin to mix two of my most favorite FF songs together in the same song! I'm serious! My computer almost exploded from the shear awesomeness! Well, not really, but yes! It was great! Loved it!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it...
I hope to make a mini album with these kind of mixed tracks someday! I know who i can ask for art

Making video is actually my 'future' job too....to be more specific, making VFX and Motion Graphics

But man...im having trouble with After Effects CS4 and Premiere Pro CS4. They crash radomly....render options are limited (i guess more user-friendly for non pro's) so im thinking about switching back to AE CS3 and Sony Vegas (which was a audio editing program from origin)

Im now studying RealFlow (which are used for making CGI liquids). Its not that complicated really and you can get some really nice result when used properly.

WMV9 is much better when you dont know anything about advanced XviD setup. Xvid has great quality/size ratio ONLY when configured manually...but boy...that requires alot of test work...where WMV9 has some nice presets and will do in most cases
Since im more of a post process kinda guy, i do everything uncompressed or with Quicktime PHOTO JPEG Q95

@Covarr:
I use this settings just for YouTube HD Uploads- the filesize is really small, Quality is great and YouTube can handle it

It's the best mix

@finalfantim:
Wow, sounds nice- when I said, thats my job, I didn't mean it serious

I'm just *show-off* good at it

I know Adobe Premiere- I used CS2 and I know that it needs a HIGH-END PC- my notebook can't handle it

And it needs 20 minutes to encode the videos for the OST- too long for 3 pic's and one audio track. I'm looking for a better one

*|OST- Yipppppieeeeh! 10 Tracks uploaded today!|*

Oh, the "pro's" from Adobe are saying:
"If you want to use Adobe Premiere CS4 without studdering, you need at least 12GB of ram and a Quad Core i7 Processor with 4@3,17Ghz and a good Graphic-card- like a Nvidia 280GTX or an ATI 4850HD"
My laptop can't handle it, really xD

But go on, you could do stuff like that

Hehe those specs are for HD usage (like 1080p or even higher cinema settings like 2k or 3k)
Problem that i have is the result of releasing CS4 a year after CS3. this was never reasonable to begin with, not with the amount of changes they made but because of the tuxedo's....they had to release it

Ok, enough Off-Topic-Video Stuff

Ah. Just to clarify, I have the "always play higher-quality video when it's available" playback option checked, so I rarely have to click HQ and only use fmt=18 for very old videos.

Normally, I don't like Rock ( I mean ROCK, HARD ROCK, HEADBANG ROCK), I really don't like it- but THIS kind of ROCK is EPIC.

So I made again a video for that Remix and will upload it today @YouTube!
Oh and I uploaded 16 Tracks of your OST today

I wouldn't call rock, punk, rap or any kind of sound that isn't beautiful for music.

punk/rap/r&b/hip-hop agreed

Rock however is sometimes implemented with good melodies and composition, so...thats why i like "certain" rock

My favorite music: Epic Orchestral game/film music

Heheh yea, ive seen it live (stream) but it was amazing. I only wish they publish a dvd cause the captures that i downloaded contains corruption near the end of Chrono Cross, which is a shame since i really enjoyed that piece.
It also gave me inspiration for my next project which is always good
