However, if your video is converted with Riva, you can select frame rate and other things for best compression. Since Riva converts it into the type of video U-tube uses, there is no need for U-tube to compress it, and it uploads as is. Every time a video is compressed and reformatted it loses quality, so this eliminates one step of compression. Riva FLV Encoder - Free software downloads and software reviews - CNET Download.com. I learned about this on U-tube. There are technical videos that tell how to do it exactly, but it's probably easier to play with the program.

Yeah I needing them converted to use in Windows Movie Maker to eventually upload to youtube... I am downloading Riva now and I will let you know how it works. Thanks!
