Very good! My stuff is high speed action, which totally dies after compression. I have had to change my edit style when doing dissolves. One second dissolves get trashed in the re-compression, so I got acceptable results with 1/4 second effects. I had one video that had a 50% larger file size than a much shorter duration video. If the amount of background motion makes that much difference, guessing the bitrate gets a bit complex.
The YouTube played straight through without pausing, but your site took a long time and loaded in segments. I don’t think it was my computer. Equipement list: http://www.videomaker.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4228
