Only 5-10 formats were accepted and the file had to be under 100mb long and under 10 minutes long. Since then Youtube has slowly upgraded and expanded on the possibility of formats and sizes it accepts. Throughout time certain formats were considered the best way to upload, for a long time it was .mp4 and .flv since Youtube would have to transcode the video the least amount to make it playable on the players.</p> <p>Now that Youtube accepts resolutions up to 4K and file sizes of 2gb (it may even be more now, I'm not sure), pretty much everything will work. So here comes the question, <strong>what format can Sony Vegas 9 produce that will transcode smoothly to Youtube</strong> and provide the best viewing quality there (Not locally on the computer).</p> <p>I have always been a simple wmv fan, since it provides decent file sizes while maintaining a pretty decent picture. Lately though, with HD footage becoming more and more prevalent; I have noticed that Youtube and WMV haven't been playing together too well. WMV can still produce great HD footage, but when Youtube transfers it on it's own servers, the quailty is a disaster.</p> <p>Youtube used to state in it's help area that MP4 was the best format. So I tried the simple .mp4 (Mainconcept AVC, AAC) that is provided with Vegas 9 and which is pretty bare with customization. I made it 1280x720 (and I realize now I never changed the bitrate) and the result was watchable but the quality was noticeably bad. So I switched over to the XDCAM XE .MP4 option that is also provided which provided a much better looking video on my computer. ON Youtube though, it seemed to transcode into almost identical video as the first HD WMV I uploaded. </p> <p>FLV sadly is not supported by Vegas that I am aware of.</p> <p>SO what do you personally think is the best format to upload to Youtube is? What codec allows for the least amount of transcoding produces the best looking video?</p> <p>Please keep in mind I want to be able to do this natively on Vegas unless downloading some other program is really worth it. Also, I'm a youtube junkie so I don't want to switch to another service.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/uploading-video#post-63440 Thu, 11 Nov 2010 16:40:20 +0000 kewlrunninz 63440@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Hi I am using VS PRO X 3 and would like to upload to You Tube.
