sooo thanks for clicking now heres the problem

i filmed recently with a go pro hero hd and decided to make an edit. upon converting the .mp4 files to .dv files it lost some quality but i didn't think much of it. so exported it from final cut express to a .mov so i could upload it because i couldn't upload it straight from final cut? and then i uploaded it as a .mov to vimeo and the quality was horrible and it didn't have the hd option. Can someone please tell me what I did wrong?

help is very much apprieciated. thanks guyzzz!

I dunno? how did you compress them?

I converted my gopro mp4 files into dvcprohd mov and i could drop them in my normal timeline. h264 mov should work in FCE easily...
