try XmediaRecode
its free, fast and converts anything you throw at it.
the version i'm using is 2.2.0.0, i tried the latest but found it to be a little bugged...
i use a custom setting that copies the audio and a high-bitrate for the video to convert to mp4 - all while leaving the res' settings of course :D
smooth like a babies bottom...
Make sure you use 30 fps framerate.
I get good results with these settings:

Saturation Ad- Boost Midtones
Color Correction- Studio RGB to COmputer RGB
Than render it at 640-480.
Also for full screen use track motion.
I will help, hit me up on my gamertag AnonymousBTARDs

Like in my mini ramp vid that will be coming out soon, i've lowered the exposure by 10%, boosted the contrast by 10%, and boosted the color by 20%, and it looks so much better, its really amazing.
what converter was that from? I expect diferent converters would need diferent "ideal" adjustmentsQuote:

so what exactly is it that you are not liking about the quality?
To blurry, washed out, ect?
how about showing an example.
i'll get a preview up soon with some settings Ive usedQuote:

although i wouldn't really be able to tell you what i did render wise, Imovie has convenient render presets, (small, medium, large , HD ect)
just to be clear, you are losing all your quality on the conversion not the render right?
cuz if thats the case, adjusting stuff in your editing program isn't going to help as much
heres the youtube clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SCtgujRf1k
I'll drop you an flv file to see what youve done, drop a pm or something
cool, yeah send me a pm.
that being said, i dont think you're quality was that bad, in the dark area was kinda sketchy
sketchy as in the quality? Please say that as i was kinda happy I got that 270 off after the blunt lolQuote:

ok i've got your clip, i'll see how it goes, i haven't tried anything in the dark yet, so i don't know how much better i can make it look. I've got my amazing results on a miniramp in the sun. Good lighting really helps.
cant really do much, seems like we just lose quality in the dark.
i'll send the vid to you with two clips, just the conversion, and with my exposure/color/contrast setting (which actually makes the dark part look much, much worse)
I definitely see myself doing all my building/filming in the sun :)
pm'd you back, sorry, i cant make the darkness look any better, and the stuff i do to make the bright sections look better kinda make the dark worse haha.
film in the sun :)
Its weird, because the best quality for the darkness is whats on reel. But the best quality for in the sun is color corrected ect
