My utube video quality IS LOST when Shrunk - HELP!!

[Entry]

I am getting problems- I have uploaded a 30 second video to youtube and its quality has reduced greatly! - distorted + Text is dittered. I have not included any sound on the video- so that's not an issue


Made with powerpoint, then the powerpoint btmaps and Png picture files were transfered to Sony vegus studio platinum 8.0

The clip was 30 seconds long

-type: WMA /Video file (I also tried the same video in a avi file type)

-Video size - 640 x 480

It is now taken off youtube,


The clip works well in Real player, but when uploaded to your tube its quality reduces, and the text shrinks/shrivels up so it is Undreadable..

The problem = Quality is lost the colours all blurred, text is dittered

and I have also tried converting it to a flash format file using a converter (I used Ultra video to flash converter) , and then uploaded the Flash version, but the same problem happened- loss in quality + Shrivelled text.


HELP - How can i upload the video to utube, so that its quality ISNT lost?

have you had this problem? what did you do to solve it?


SEE THE ATTACHED PHOTO to get a clearer picture of what I mean. (I made that powerpoint screenshot just for this post)

Use fonts with thicker strokes or larger fonts. Avoid colored text on colored backgrounds because colors are stored at half the resolution of the gray scale portion of the image in FLV and other high compression codecs.
