     Just add this to the end of the URL for higher quality:

      &fmt=18

In that case... it must have been DivX I tried. (I definitely remember 
it being a "trail version"; all the encoded videos had a watermark on them.)

Well, I guess if I knew exactly what size it resizes them to, I could 
render at that resolution in the first place... For the video I was 
thinking of uploading, I'd have to crop it though. The interesting parts 
are barely visible at the *current* resolution, never mind with 
downsampling...

My God... Eddison you're a genius! o_O

Seriously though. I've seen other videos where there's a "watch in high 
quality" button, but my video doesn't have that button. And yet, the 
link you posted does indeed show it in slightly higher quality. What gives?

<sigh> Do you think that everyone else just somehow managed to intuit the 
proper settings?

They don't just resize. They also convert into flash and I think compress 
more. It's not just a size thing.

Sure. But my particular video has a problem because the waves are 
approaching pixel size. There aren't actually all that many compression 
artifacts in this particular video. (Because most of the image is black, 
so it compresses quite easily...)

Well yeah, presumably.

I mean, TMPGEnc doesn't come with a manual or any tutorials either, and 
most people manage to figure that out. Ditto for Virtual Dub...

It may not come with it, but that doesn't stop people who have wored things 
out to write tutorials for all the people who can't or who don't want to 
fiddle for days to get a good result.
If you're wondering how to do something, ask google. Chances are, someone 
has done it before and will have written up something explainig how.
