Getting the absolute best quality encode at the smallest possible bandwidth is hard. We’ll delve into the requirements for the best quality master, techniques for pre-processing the signal to improve the encode and some super-secret techniques for getting the best upload quality to major distribution sites, like blip.tv, MySpace and YouTube. Naturally we’ll cover the importance of the upcoming H.265 codec and what it means. This is for anyone that wants to encode with maximum quality.

• Getting the best source to encode.
• How, and why, you need to pre-process before encoding.
• Choosing the right codec.
• Getting the best possible encode.
