H.264 Quality Based Encodes with Sorenson Squeeze 6 will produce very nice video quality.  If you’re using the Apple H.264 codec available under the MPEG-4 .MP4 presets you can choose to do a Quality based encode instead of using a datarate value.  If you choose a Quality value of 5o this will produce great results with most sources but if you want to guarantee exceptional quality then chooose a Quality value of 75.  Keep in mind that both the Quality values of 50 and 75 will increase your overall video datarate and the Quality value of 75 more than doubles that of 50.   However, if you desire to make sure you achieve a certain quality level then these settings will do that.
