MPEG4 for YouTube
A client insists I load her video on YouTube. Currently YouTube specifies that best upload settings are a file rendered to:
–MPEG4 (Divx, Xvid)
–640 x 480
–MP3 audio
–30 fpsVegas 8 does not seem to have the MPEG4 option. Is that a codec I have to buy separately? If so, how do I get Vegas to recognize it?
Elsewhere I have read it is possible to upload a video rendered to FLV-6 with On2 (which I have.) But YouTube makes no mention of this option. Anyone know about it vs. the MPEG4 route?
Thanks.

“Vegas 8 does not seem to have the MPEG4 option.”
It does. You’re just looking in the wrong place 🙂
Select “MainConcept AVC/AAC (*.mp4)” in the “Save as type” box and the “Apple iPod 640×480 Video” template.
Render and upload.
I’ve seen a few YouTube videos done with this codec and they look great!! -
Thanks very much, guys. I’ll have to try both ways to see which works best.

Encoding to Flash use to work great for You Tube but I have heard that now You Tube re converts everything to flash regardless. Hense you’re better off using one of the suggestions above. I haven’t tried the MP4 yet because the WMV tutorial does work great. You don’t need a double rendered flash file Ugh!
That tutorial says to choose the 1mbps. In Vegas 7 the lowest choice you have initially is 3mbps. Then re-set it under the video tab to 1mbps.
