Rendering for MySpace or YouTube

[Douglas Spotted eagle]

It used to be that youtube didn’t reencode everything, now they do. “YouTube for Dummies” (technically edited by me) also says that YouTube doesn’t reencode Flash if it meets their standards. But…now they do.

BTW, FWIW, if the video has high motion, I recommend using MP4 for the encode source, not the mythical WMV that is so often tossed into the discussion. If it has high color and is an interlaced source, then WMV is marginally better. We tested (and demonstrate) this heavily for the “Video For The Web” DVD that we produced last fall.

To Danny Hays your video looks awesome on you tube… can you break it down for me exactly how you made it look so good. Also I noticed it takes longer to load….why is that?

[Danny Hays]

Theres a you tube link on my earlier post that shows exactly how I did it but I believe Douglas and Allen are right that you tube re-encodes all videos now and getting the 720 x 480 flv file on you tube is not possible any more. I’ve read in several forums that other sites like myspace tv will allow better quality videos to be uploaded but they probably don’t have the hits like the popular you tube. One way to find out if a site is allowing higher res vids on is to use the keepvid to save a video from you-tube and use G-spot also free to see what the properties of the saved video is.
https://keepvid.com/ is the link to save the video.
https://www.headbands.com/gspot/download.html is a link for G-spot. I would try some samples and upload to several sites, then save them back with keepvid to see if the resoulution has been changed. Hope this helps. Danny Hays Oh by the way, the longer loading of my videos is the downfall.
