Hi. How do you make crystal clear youtube videos? I've followed all of the tutorials on youtube to do this but my videos always come out blurry / crappy after they've been uploaded on youtube. They said to upload mpg4 videos at 320 x 240 resolution at 30 fps. I did and got no results.
well you tube has terrible quality, you can get a new graphics card, this will dramatically help with streaming quality, also if you go into your monitiors menu you can higher the pixels and colors used, Iexplore has much better streaming quality then firefox, but other wise you will barely see a difference unless there is physical change (i heard vista has much improved streaming) give us your OS: windows/mac graphics card monitor RAM processor model type and other details
Windows XP Pro SP2 32 & 64 Bit ASRock 775Dual-Vista Motherboard Intel Pentium D 3.40 GHz / 3.42 GHz ATI Radeon X1300 Video Card Sound Blaster Audigy SE 2 GB Ram Flat Panel 18" LG Flatron monitor. And thanks for replying!
Okay there is no use in getting better hardware, different software, or reencoding files. Once uploaded to YouTube the videos are converted in flash video (.flv) this video format is made to be streamed easily and efficiently but in doing so makes the video look like crap. The quality of YouTube is as good as it's going to get.
the flv format has problems, long videos have sync probs. i saw videos labled as "high def" on youtube and i watched them and they indeed looked like they were above normal youtube video quality! (has anyone else seen these?) the video wasnt even posted by a director account, but i couldnt find any new special "high def" uploading options anywhere, i couldnt find anything more about them at all actualy. i would imagine mpg4 is the best. high quality xvids seem to work pretty good too. i was even thinking about converting to the exact flv format they use. i wonder if they still automaticly convert the video even if its already in the correct format?
