What’s The Best Conversion To Keep HD
Hi,
I have a Hauppauge hd pvr and Sony Vegas Movie Studio 10 Platinum.
All I’m trying to do is capture my Xbox 360 games put music to them and upload them to YouTube in HD. This was supposed to be easy.
The Hauppauge has 3 output choices .mp4, .m2ts and .ts upto 1080i.
If I use the mp4 output my computer cpu can’t handle the file well within Sony Vegas(the preview skips and studders making it impossible to edit).
When I use the m2ts output I can work with it just fine. So this is my starting file type. Now I edit the file and I have to render it so I can upload it to YouTube. I don’t know what is the best file type to render as.
I have already tried to render as mp4 to my local drive and then i uploaded this to YouTube but YouTube says its in HD but it looks like crap. I did notice that YouTubes upload details said that it uploaded it as a .mov(what the heck?)
So I guess with all that converting is why it looks so bad. Whats the best course of action? I was going to try this next: Take the same m2ts file and render as mov to my local drive and then upload that to YouTube, then if YouTube uploads as mov I should be fine?? What do you guys think? Should i be doing something different? Again, this was supposed to be easy 🙁

If you want things to look good upload to vimeo not YouTube;).
The ‘Sony AVC’ render as using one of the HD internet templates should work for both Vimeo and Youtube.

So what seems to work good for me is to output from the Haugpauge in the m2ts format. Render from sony vegas in the same format. And when I upload to YouTube it comes over in great HD. BTW YouTube converts m2ts to mpegts. Thx.
