Handbrake is definitely an option to consider, one that I didn't think of. It does indeed produce excellent results the only problem is it requires for you to re-encode your videos again, once in editing software then in Handbrake which will make editing a longer and more laborious process.
Yeah it does but it's either that or a longer uploading time. I guess it's easier for me too though because my videos are all relatively short and my computer has a pretty good processor for rendering.
