Video Compression for youtube

I don’t know the actual stats on how many videos are uploaded to youtube each day, but I would imagine it’s in the hundreds of thousands. Unfortunately, most of them suck. I’m not talking about content, but compression. Our internet is getting littered with really poor quality videos. I did a little googling and found a few articles by the master Brian Gary on the Kenstone.net site. He’s put plenty of time and troubleshooting into finding a pretty amazing equation for compressing videos before they are run through the youtube upload-compressor and still maintain high quality. For anyone uploading video (pro or not) these articles are a no-brainer.
