~hi everyone. i'd like to take a crack at uploading some video to Google. given their spec requirements and recommendations below, what would you say is the best setting to render/ encode to in VMS4? M-PEG2 is recommended below for "reasonable file size" but i noticed when i rendered to "MainConcept M-PEG2" the file came out twice as big as when WMV was used. does that not qualify as the M-PEG2 they are referring to?
