Youtube Compresser Settings
 

Hey, fellas... I've encountered a few problems exporting some footage to upload on youtube. I'm exporting a movie, that's 4 minutes in length, and I need to get it under 500 megs. I'm using quicktime conversion (would the program compressor be a better option maybe?) The settings I'm using for quicktime conversion is: Compression: h.264, Quality: High, frame 24, frame reordering yes. encoding mode: multi-pass, and Dimensions: 1280-720 (1248x702) But... I'm getting this to come out at a little over 850 megs. What adjustments should I make in order to lower it's size, but retain good quality? Also, in the program compressor, I'm not seeing a h.264 codec. Thanks a lot in advance, dudes. Take it easy.

YouTube doesn't do highdef (yet) so you might as well bring the dimensions down to 50%. Try not to compress too much because YouTube does their own compression to the video after you upload it.

There's a 100MB limit, and they serve videos at 320x240.

Hi,

if you want to share your work in some "watchable" video streaming website you should try http://stage6.divx.com/. You can even upload hi-def footage.

Does Stage6 accept quicktime? I'm pretty sure it doesn't.

Try 320x240 15fps
