Comments on: High-quality YouTube videos coming soon

YouTube co-founder Steve Chen says high-bitrate streaming is coming within three months.

Youtube needs to drop flash, it is buggy at best, when my browser crashes, flash is usually to blame. Maybe they should try out Microsoft's silverlight, it works on Macs, Windows, and even Linux.....

...or you could quit using IE and join the rest of us on Firefox.

Google (youtube) is not going to support a microsoft architecture that is trying to compete for such a big piece of the pie as flash controls. not gonna happen

[menotbug]

Flash is currently the ONLY usable solution for in-browser video. I'm all for web standards (and therefore any proprietary Microsoft crap is out of the question anyway) but as much as one may hate it for its opacity, currently there's no way around Flash because it works across clients, and most people have it installed. It does have bugs, but fewer than any other video plugin. The latest Flash beta supports mp4/AVC/AAC which is the upcoming standard, so I'm pretty sure everybody will be using Flash until in a couple of years HTML5 <video> is standardized and implemented across browsers.

YouTube limits sumissions to 100meg so there is not much opportunity for the average user to upload anything near high quality video unless they limit the recording to about 15 seconds.
They seriously need to change the limitations they place on the people who try to make youtube a great site

Converting your high quality videos into flv before uploading, it can reduce the size a lot.

I know a tool to do this: Wondershare Video to Flash Encoder.

C'EST WHA????!!!!
"Chen also confirmed that in YouTube's internal archive, all video is stored at the native resolution in which it was sent"

This means that everyone has been fooled into uploading at 320X240 instead of 640X480 which results in passable quality. If we now replace out videos with higher resolution versions then we lose our viewer counts. No one knew that in only 3 months videos uploaded at 640X480 would look so much better.

YouTube is encoding and displaying higher quality videos. Read this article to get the scoop.

As many have noticed by now, YouTube has been tweaking it's compression techniques lately to create both "standard" and "high quality" versions of file uploads. They now recommend uploading files in MP4 format using a larger video size. YouTube's changes have made lots of trouble for content producers. Proven tools and tutorials that were "standard operating procedure" have been rendered obsolete. There is evidence of this in blog posts all over the web.

Over the last few days, I have been trying to find a suitable and simple workaround. I think I discovered one. Be warned -- this fix may be temporary if YouTube continues to "enhance" its compression techniques. But as of 04-AUG-2008, the process simple and works just fine for me.

My commercial software has become virtually useless at the final stage of production just before upload. But I found a freeware tool called WinFF (http://www.winff.org) that works and makes the last stage fairly straightforward.

As YouTube now suggests, you want to convert your high quality video to MP4. This is where WinFF shines. First, open your high quality video in WinFF and select 'Options' to adjust the conversion settings as follows:

Convert to: MP4 > H.264 in MP4(4:3)
Video Bitrate: 2000
Frame Rate: 30
Video Size: 640x480
Aspect Ratio: 4:3
Audio Bitrate: 64
Sample Rate: 22050
AC: 1
2 Pass: selected
Deinterlace: selected

SIDE NOTE: If you create videos often, you may take the OPTIONAL step to make a "Preset" in WinFF. If you only occasionally create YouTube videos, there is no need. The XML params you would use for a "YouTube preset" are -r 30.00 -vcodec libx264 -s 640x480 -aspect 4:3 -b 2000k -acodec libfaac -ab 64k -ar 22050 -ac 1 -deinterlace -pass 2

Now with these settings, convert the file. A 10 minute MP4 file may become larger than YouTube's 100 MB limit. Don't panic. There's an easy way around the limit. Just use the YouTube multifile upload tool at http://www.youtube.com/my_videos_multiupload and the file size cap is raised to 1 GB each.

If you use WinFF with these settings, the MP4 file that is produced will look great in YouTube's "high quality" mode, and still very good in "standard" mode.

Hope this helps,

ive done what you said, but its been converting for like 2 hours now, how will i know when its done? & when i try to play the file, it says, "its not a file quicktime understands"
do you have a link to the right codec to see a mp4 type of file? also, in the drop down menu, for options, i didnt have the MP4 selection, so i chose H.264 High quality 4:3, please help!

I was having trouble working out how to watch, create and embed high quality video in Youtube. I found out the easiest ways and have recently put up a website that explains it all. Totally free. I have even included a script that generates the high quality embed code for you with different options. So it's even easier.

Its 100% free and I'm trying to help the guys that don't know and make it easier for the guys that do. Thanks,
Mark
