Product Update: Now Encoding at 700 KBPS
:

…we’ve given our transcoders a major kick: we’re now transcoding user uploads to 700kpbs! That’s up from 300 kpbs in the past. Transcoders are those robots that diligently turn your video file into flash format. We also boosted the capacity of our uploader. This means better and faster uploads from start to finish. Of course, this doesn’t re-encode anything you’ve already uploaded; this is for new uploads only. As always, the final quality depends on the original video file. So keep your bitrate high, we’re ready for it.

So, here’s Yahoo! Video by the numbers: a 16:9 aspect ratio, 150 mb uploads, and 700 kpbs transcoding.
