I'm trying to decide on the best settings and format to put our podcast in. I tried exporting it as FLV on the best video settings but it still doesn't come out that great. If I put it on AVI with video on best then it looks good but the file size is a whopping 4GB. And that's will take forever to upload to Youtube. I also tried putting it as AVI with Optimized Stills but the file playback was problematic, however fixed when uploaded the image quality is still not that good.
Basically I'm trying to find a good middle ground between file size and quality. I'm using Premiere Pro. It's about a 20 minute podcast, most of the video except the intro consist of several still images. I'd rather not wait an hour and half to upload it for something that's really not much different from a lengthy Powerpoint project with audio. Please suggest a good format and settings for me to use.
