YouTube Video Settings

I am making some Videos for FaceBook.

When I make Video for myself I keep then as
MPEG 2
Frame Size 720 X 480
Video Ratio 1.212 Widescreen.
Frame Rate 29.97
Bit Rate 6. Mbps
Audio 16 Bit at 44.1 kHz Stereo.

Now if I am Right this is to good for FaceBook..

So I will keep a Copy like this for me.
But what should I adjust before I Upload it to FaceBook?

Thanks for the Time.

I wouldn't keep any video for myself as mpeg 2
The only time I have been anywhere near mpeg 2 was years ago.

Facebook squashes video more than you tube, and that's saying something.

Facebook video upload from a quick google....

Recommended video dimensions is 1280 x 720 for Landscape and Square.
Minimum dimensions 600 x 315 (1.9:1 landscape) or 600 x 600 (square).
Landscape aspect ratio is 16:9.
Square aspect ratio is 1:1.
Max video file size is 4GB.

Video length max is 120 minutes.

Recommended video formats are .MP4 and .MOV.
Video length max is 120 minutes
Video max frames 30fps.

why would you never keep Video Projects as .MPEG 2. I thought this was a good Format?

[davexnet]

It's a delivery format, not a format for further editing, if posible

MPEG 2 is also used for DVD Video.

Yes, it is a fine format for standard definition (720x480) video and is the delivery format used by the DVD standard. There is absolutely nothing wrong with using it.

However, if you don't need to make a DVD and if you are now editing and then encoding new video, then I would certainly consider a more modern codec like h.264 in an MP4 wrapper. For a given file size (which is determined 100% by bitrate), you will get better-looking video using h.264 than MPEG-2. Whether you or anyone else will notice that difference depends on dozens of different settings, and on the quality of the codec you use for the encoding.
