Help with video/audio encoding?

Hey everyone, my friend is pretty good at skateboarding.. and I thought i'd suprise him by adding music to one of his videos on youtube. I figured out how to get it off of youtube into an FLV filetype, and i also have a converter, MediaCoder, which is easy to use. However, what I'm having problems with is the video playback itself. It seems nomatter what i convert the video to, it only plays the audio or the video is just a bunch of colored lines. The options are XviD, H.264, MPEG 1, MPEG 2, MPEG 4, WMV7, WMV8, WMV9 for format. Container has the following options: AVI, MP4, 3GP, 3GP2, MPEG1, MPEG 2, and Windows Media. You can also change the bitrate to whatever you like. Can someone please tell me what i should select to get halfway decent video quality without lag or slowdown? Thanks in advance!Help with video/audio encoding?
There is a website which will take youtube videos and convert them into the format of your choice without ever having to download the video or any converting software. This eliminates the possibility that you may encode wrong (your case). The website is http://www.zamzar.com/



Take a look. It's easy and it guarantees a good rip and transcode. Good luck.Help with video/audio encoding?
