YouTube Video Formats?

Optimizing your video uploads: http://help.youtube.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?answer=132460&topic=16612&hl=en-US That should help you!

All you need to do is continue uploading the highest quality video you have available. The quality of the uploaded video combined with individual viewers' bandwidth will determine if the video is displayed at "Higher Quality." For best video quality, use the following settings: mpeg4 or wmv 30 FPS mp3 sound 640 by 480 resolution --For best editing.... use windows movie maker (included in your windows machine)... it can help you make beautiful slideshow or video clip(e.g. mixing your songs with pictures/video/lyric/etc).... then save it as video file such as wmv file format... finally upload. or .. Just get those clips you want , save & convert them, and then mix/match with pix/sound/etc using windows movie maker to create new masterpieces.... this will help you.... Use 'zillatube'. This is the easiest (and also the fastest) way. Zillatube produces mpg/mp3 formats from youtube that are compatible with windows movie maker(or media player), and more. It is very easy to download and convert videos. Then edit those converted mp3/mpg videos with windows movie maker... save your file as wmv and then upload. It works very well....just google search for "zillatube" =============================♥♥♥

Xvid/Divx should be fine but there are sub settings to these codec you may want to look at. I'm not sure what tool your using to convert the files so I don't know how advanced it lets you get with those settings. This is from the YouTube Guys:"We recommend the MPEG4 (Divx, Xvid) format at 320x240 resolution with MP3 audio. Resizing your video to these specifications before uploading will help your clips look better on YouTube." Try: http://fixounet.free.fr/avidemux/ It will do the job and it's free. If you need more help (or help with avidemux) just ask and I'll try to keep an eye out for it.

for the best results on youtube, upload a 320x240 h264 MP4 file at the best possible quality (but keep the resolution at 320x240) I hope this helps ;)

i thought it was a GB now, and youtube saves it as flv, so maybe flv works too

try a different camera
