Q: “What is the best format to upload a video in order to get the best quality video?”

Choose a standard format such as H.263, H.264, WMV, or MPEG-4 and scale the video to 400x300 pixels. Then use the highest bit rate and quality settings that will still allow the final video to fit within your channel's file upload size limitations.
