What's your final output format? What kind of site is it? Are you shooting in HD? do your members currently get 160 meg downloads? There's just a lot more to the question than "what settings do you use?" Also, and don't take this the wrong way, but some guys may have spent years perfecting their formula and techniques. Don't expect them to just hand it over. It's like asking a chef for a family recipe, some of them aren't very open about such things.

Some will give you a general ballpark, but you will still want to tweak shit for what's best for you.
Yeah I don't expect much, I've been doing a lot of playing around myself! Whatever people will hand out, I'll take!

Its for a new site, so members aren't used to anything right now. I'd like a fairly high end video product however. I'm not shooting HD its standard digital. I certainly don't mind a 160 Meg download, but don't see the quality that I am looking for in the file that was produced. It's okay mind you, but at 3 Mbps, its a bit steep for the amount of grain and I've seen a lot better for smaller files sizes. I definitely want the output to be WMV. Any suggestions now? If you don't want to give it to the world, feel free to e-mail me.
