New here, and enjoy all the resources this site provides.  One suggestion: A "help" guide with suggested settings that can improve video playback quality on the site.  I've checked resources around the net, and it seems everyone has their own take on the subject.  From uploading using H.264, to Xvid to MPG4.  I've tried these and fiddled with the settings in each format, and the video quality is still sub-par. (Or maybe this tweak guide is posted somewhere and I've missed it?)

While on the same subject, during all this testing, I essentially bombarded my account and animation gallery with "test" uploads.  Perhaps down the line giving the uploader the ability to upload, see their video then give them the option of whether or not to publish would be nice.

But, hey, I'm not complaining -- I'm just glad to be here and be able to participate.

Hi Jariel -- We actually perform a two-step process for every video that's uploaded.  First, the video is automatically converted and displayed.  Then, we go in and manually run a batch job on a number of them to upgrade the video quality.  So, the first time you see your video displayed is before we've optimized it. 

I don't have any recommendations for video codecs --- 

Hey there -

Thanks for your reply.  Appreciate the processing steps you outlined, and all the efforts done by ShareCG.

Regards,
