Videos on myspace

[EDIT]
Ok! Thanks for the suggestions, I finally figured it out.
Turns out, myspace is particular to which program you use to convert your video, not just the codec. Weird.

Anyway, for those of you interested in the more rockin' side of my work, there are a bunch of live videos from a recent show at

And my new instrumental track with its animation can be gotten from

I don't know anything about encoding video, but MySpace in general seems pretty glitchy. Often when listening to songs there are drop outs or the song just stops for buffering or whatever. I assume that the same goes for video. I checked out your site and the songs and the video are both great work by the way.

Thanks, man.
I think I might be encoding the videos at too high quality setting or something... not sure. I've seen myspace videos that don't glitch out like that, so clearly, there's gotta be a way. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I believe whatever you upload is converted into Flash video anyway, so upload the best quality you can within the file size constraints. Perhaps use photo jpeg as your video codec and an as-uncompressed-as-possible audio codec.
