How should I save a video file for good resolution on YouTube?

Question

I am using Windows Movie Maker and in the past the good resolution files are too large to upload to YouTube, but then when I make the file smaller, the video has really bad quality. In the past, the "YouTube Uploader" has not worked. Is that the only way to upload high quality videos to YouTube, or is there a way to have a smaller file but still have a decent resolution?

Answer 1

YOU DON'T NEED ANY DOWNLOADERS OR CONVERTERS. SOME PEOPLE ON

THIS PAGE ARE REALLY DISGUISED SALESPEOPLE TRYING TO SUCKER YOU

INTO BUYING THEIR BOGUS AND UNNECESSARY SOFTWARE.



YouTube recommends your video format be

MPEG4 at 640x480, recorded together with

sound in MP3 audio, all at a rate more than

24 frames per second. Other files which are

accepted include AVI, MPG, MOV, and the

famous WMV (Windows Movie Maker).



Here is the relevant YouTube reference and

If you'll allow me to get technical about this

type of stuff, DVR's (digital video recorders)

generally use 720x480 "rectangular" pixels.

Computers have many different resolutions,

but they all utilize "square" pixels. As such,

Flash "encoders" can't always compensate

or properly adjust for the difference. Just as

bad, almost all downloaders and converters

render videos 'square-ish' and fuzzy. This is

especially so when the video has motion or

when still photos/images segue from one to

another.



YouTube now accepts file sizes up to 1GB,

so it is now much easier to upload larger or

HQ/HR (high-quality/high-resolution) videos.

Everything on YouTube is, by default, "high

quality", so you shouldn't be worrying about

what you have to do in order to achieve HQ.

If your video is HQ enough, it will be offered

on YouTube as high-quality.



YouTube's preferred format is 640x480, but

they actually scale all the uploaded videos

down to 480x360 -- which is the size of the

YouTube player window. Because the ratio

would still be 4x3, better-quality videos can

sometimes be achieved by scaling down to

the lower number with a video encoder that

is "high-quality", such as an H.264 "codec".

This would then accomplish several results:

-- a smaller file (thus faster uploading)

-- YouTube also has less to "process"

-- you control the final scaling of pixels

-- the video gets high-quality encoding.



I hope my answer is what you're looking for.

Save Youtube File

Answer 3

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"

Answer 4

A good file type is mp4. Youtube is changing all their videos (originally flv) in mp4 because it has higher quality, and it can be downloaded and watched on mobile devices. Try that file type.

U can save the video as AVI on Windows Movie Maker.
