It's not about the format but about the CODEC settings you use to compress the video. Here are my settings:
Resolution: Multimedia 320x240 Frame rate: 25,000 PAL Field order: None(Progressive Scan) Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1,0926 Codec: Xvid Motion Blur Type: Gaussian Deinterlace method: Interpolated Fields AND very important thing to do is to add SHARPEN effect on every video before rendering/compressing. It took me ages to figure out these settings!! I hope they will help you! And btw. the file format is AVI.

Hey guys!
Could you please tell me what resolution do you use for your videos because we noticed that my videos don't fit the whole flash player screen but have black spaces on the left and right side. While all the other instructor's videos fill the whole player screen. So what are your settings?

Maybe to set the same resolution in project settings? That's only preview of course,but who knows... -------------------- Youtube

Ok i found the problem! I already told Kris i will have to change file format but looks like i won't have to!
The problem is not in file format but in PIXEL ASPECT RATIO. By setting it to 1,0250 and set "Stretch video to fill the output frame" i managed to solve it so i will do it like that for my next lesson!

This is really helpful guys-Thanks! Can i ask how you record sound? I get great tone from my amp, but when camcorder films it it sounds like a bee in a tin I thus use a PODxt which is great for what it does, but not my ideal tone. Any ideas? I do have an sm57 rigged to Logic, so i was thinking of recoding the audio there, and splicing together. -Ben Not sure about everyone else but I think Kris records his audio separately and splices - when I get around to making some videos that's the first thing I will try as well. Then the video (at least of the main part) is just miming to the backing track, but you get great sound. I don't think you can do that with the slow videos though. -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

Hey Ben I'm recording my guitar straight on HD,camera is only recording video. Than I make audio mix of lead guitar and backing track as mp3, put together video and mp3,do small edit like cuts,fades and that's it. -------------------- Youtube

Hey Andrew, Hello Muris (Great playing btw), Thats really helpful. See at the moment i record video and guitar straight from the camcorder, and i have to use a tone i would normally never use just to make up for the balance on the camcorder! So basically what your saying is to record onto you sequencer (logic express in my case), and record just video at the same time, and splice them together afterwards? Thanks, -Ben Yeah,just like that!! I use Cubase,and then Vegas to splice them. Thanks for comment,great playing as well! -------------------- Youtube
