Maybe their quality settings stink. Most likely they transcode with a low setting to keep size small.
Maybe you should try converting yourself before uploading so they don't transcode. Try this or similar. Google "To FLV converter".
If all fails, Vimeo, as other sites, support HD video. You could try upscaling the video first, on PC, at a minimal loss of quality, then uploading in 720p.

It may sound strange, but have you tried sharing it via Ovi?

No, I meant, AFAIK OVI stores and shares in MP4 format, why pre-convert?
The stuff I filmed a few days ago I shared to OVI from phone in MP4, it got uploaded in MP4 and the site embeds MP4.
Check this out, it's not the best video, but it's MP4. That's me adding dye to my HTPC water cooling reservoir under UV light.

Your video looks pretty good, but there's no panning or fast movement - 'cause those are the things that result for me in distorting "pixellations" after conversion to flv. I'd be curious to know if ohter people get the same distortions with faster pans or movements...
I need some help with the videos i recorded with my N900's camera:
I think the results look pretty good (see e.g. here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_Kn2GtbI_4)
and I'd like to share them with friends and family, but not bother the whole world with them (as Youtube would have me do).
Now that's where the problems start: On Youtube, you can either make your videos completely public, or you can share them ONLY with with people who have a Youtube account. However, I don't want the whole world to have acces to my videos, but I don't want to harrass all my friends into signing up with Youtube either. So I was looking for alternatives with more well-differentiated sharing options, but here's the thing:
All the video sharing services I've tried so far - except for "make-it-public-or-keep-it-a-secret"-Youtube - convert my files to flash with some hideous distortions/pixel noise, as you can see here:
(this is password-protected: "bennsn")
Vimeo support said, these are the best results I could get on their site.
Converting the original files to divx sort of works, but is still far from the original quality.
I was thinking I might somehow reencode my files before uploading them, so they don't get messed up in flash format.
Now, could anyone give me some pointers on how to do that, respectively for a software that is able to?
Any similar experiences?
How do you share your videos?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks, Ben
