I usually stream my work for online viewing. I know SF uses Discreet Cleaner XL for the videos on this site and the vids look great considering most vids are over 10-15 mins. My videos are about 6mins in length but how do I acquire a higher quality for streaming. What filters in Cleaner should I use another thing is that most of my audience use real player which is a lesser quality then quicktime (but i can't change that). I tried swish video but its only good for videos less then 5mins. any advice given is appreciated --especially on tweaking cleaner for better quality.

Unfortunately I'm not too familiar with Real.

My best suggestions is to do tons of tests.

Use the ins and outs on the source clip and make many modifiers with different settings. Datarate and keyframes (and fps) until you get the best result.

That's how I got my files the way they were. Testing.
