After failing miserably trying to use Google Video with MPEG4 from the Mac, I have reached success. I think that the flaw was the AAC encoder. Google wants MP3 audio.
I have had great success now with Pinnacle Studio v9. I bought the MPEG 2 upgrade for $5.00.
The following works swell:
MPEG2 - DVD Preset - 60 Meg for 1:21 - did not look great on Google
MPEG2 - 1400kbps Video - 192kbps audio 640x480 - CBR - looked good - 14 Meg for 1:21 - this will be my sweet spot for short materials - 5 minutes or less
MPEG1 - 750kbps video - 128kbps audo - looked yucky
Will need to explore what to do with an hour of video.
All of these used MP2 Audio which Google seemed happy with.
