Bella the Dog - First video with my Kodak V1073 - Indoor lighting

This is Bella, the dog that lives where I live.

It seems that the Youtube conversion is degrading the quality quite a bit, I'm going to have to reencode the videos in a way that doesn't lose so much quality.

Standard indoor lighting, lots of motion because she would lay down when I would back away and record.

1280x720 30FPS progressive, video directly uploaded without editing.

Do you go into the settings and make sure it's recording 720p? I uploaded this video directly to Youtube from the file produced by the camera. ...unless something changed on Youtube, it should be HD if you had the camera set properly in its settings.

I have the same camera It's say's HD on It But when I upload to youtube it's only in HQ not HD am I doing something wrong lol?

I was using the HQ low compression version.

When viewing it on my computer before uploading to Youtube it looks MUCH better than when it is here on Youtube. I have a feeling it is the specific MP4 codec that the camera is using and Youtube isn't converting it as well as it does for Xvid and H.264.

It shouldn't matter if you are using a standard SD card or a SDHC card unless that card cannot allow fast enough data writing to capture the video being recorded, the quality should be identical

Looks pretty good to me! But then again I'm not comparing it to anything.

I saw that the camera does have both:

1280x720 HQ with low compression

1280x720 with high compression {DEFAULT, file size is halved}

I can barely notice a difference at teh pixel level while using an old SD nonHC card
