Curious what levels everyone is going with for web video?

No standards (unfortunately). I limit to -4.5 dB.

I mix with my limiter set as if it was -10 and then raise the output of the limiter to -2 for web, so basically add 8db of gain to a standard TV broadcast mix.

people are listening to things mastered to 0 on the same set up so I try to compete but leave a little overhead for conversion down the road.

I do this as well.

Here are a few other opinions from a recent post:

yep I've got my limiter threshold around -10, but the output ceiling at -4 or so.

Thanks guys - pretty much what I've been doing as well, except I've been opting for peaks at -1 so far.
And thanks Dallas for the link to the other thread.
