One of the best ways of controlling quality on Blip.tv is to upload your own 
flash file. We do this all the time because we prefer our files to look a 
certain way so we just encode them ourselves.

The highest we usually encode at is 1200kbps in flash, because on slower 
computers it doesn't play that smoothly when you go higher.

Did I see on Twitter that you were also using that other video sharing  
site - that subscription one for pro videographers?  Was trying to  
remember its name for the guy who was ranting about Blip the other day.

I've been using Blip for about three years, and I have no complaints.  How are 
you compressing your video?  I've always thought that Blip is in the top tier 
of video communities.

I will say that YouTube is now a contender.  The quality is impressive.

Best,

 Hi all,
 I've been using Blip.TV for quite some time for nearly all of my video blog
 posts and other video projects, for both work and fun.  I love the service
 and the features, but have started to become a little disappointed with the
 final flash video after conversion.  If you upload the same video to Blip,
 Vimeo, YouTube, and Facebook, the Blip version that is converted seems to be
 the worst in the bunch.  I'm generally only uploading SD video, if that
 makes any difference.  I don't plan on moving away from Blip any time soon,
 as the other features (playlists, cross posting, customized player, custom
 thumnails, etc) are the reasons I stay with Blip.  However, I was wondering
 if any of you have any suggestions for getting better quality out of the
 Blip video player.  Are there tricks I can employ on my end to make my file
 more friendly to conversion?  I'm a low budget windows user, so typically my
 files are WMV (Flip video SD) or Mov (Canon SD 780 IS), and I occasionally
 still shoot video with and older Canon MiniDV (edit in moviemaker and output
 as WMV).  Is there a file type or size that Blip may like better for better
 quality conversion to flash?  The other three seem to take WMVs just fine
 and crunch them well, but perhaps there's something better I should be
 looking at when uploading to Blip.
 
 Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
