  Compressor 3.5.1 and YouTube

  Posted by Michael Raskovsky on March 30, 2010 at 4:36 pm

  Up until recently, I’ve used the YouTube preset in Compressor to prepare video for upload to Ooyala. I used a modified frame size (480 x 270) to fit my site. The video looked great until I started getting the message: Failed: 3x crash service down.

  Do I have a corrupted plist or a naming issue (HSV-OLS-B Feature Copy-YouTube sharing.mov)

  Thanks

  If you have the Perian plug-in, disable it. Trash your Compressor Preferences.

  Thanks for the tip. I did disable Perian and trashed the Compressor prefs, but unfortunately it’s not behaving any differently.

  I can use the YouTube preset as is, but it seems that the resizing of the frame is what’s causing the issue. Seems that modification should be simple and effective.

  Thanks

  Try starting with an H.264 preset in Compressor and set it to the YouTube parameters using your frame size. You might want to lower the data rate if this is to play from your site as 8Mbps will stress many internet connections.
