nice profile Guyver, i like your....leaves

good question Cid, glad you asked. as the old adage goes, garbage in, garbage out. the better quality you put in, the better quality comes out. the limits are 10 minutes/100mb. videos like this one or this one i created with Xvid at 1500kbs and a wav file sent to mp3 (not a transcode!). listen to the sound, pretty good eh? and the video is pretty good quality. then you have a video like this one where it's still Xvid 1500, but all the songs went from MP3 --> WAV (in premiere)-->MP3 (virtual dub)-->youtube. so the audio quality suffers.

so what does that mean? i recommend that your uploaded video uses Xvid between 1000 and 1500kbps (and I use 640x480), and mp3 that came from an original source.

this is what Youtube has to say about it:

Quote:
* Uploads will usually take 1-5 minutes per MB on a high-speed connection.
* Converting your video takes a few minutes; you can add more info or upload more videos while it's processing.
* Videos are limited to 10 minutes (unless you're a Director) and 100 MB.
* Videos saved with the following settings convert the best:
o MPEG4 (Divx, Xvid) format
o 320x240 resolution
o MP3 audio
PS. no one has any self created videos? just me?
