Encoding HD Videos for YouTube in Corel Video Studio X2

[Michiko280]

I'm having trouble uploading my videos to YouTube and would be grateful for any help you can give! I'm finding that 70% of the time my uploads to YouTube are failing about halfway through. I'm always ultimately able to finish the upload if given three or four attempts. Could the encoding settings I'm using be to blame for my aborted uploads?

I'm using a Canon HF100 camera to film 3 minute videos in 720 HD for YouTube. I'm using Corel Video Studio X2 to create video files. I have been saving the videos as HDV 720p - 30p (PC) MPEG files. Does anyone know the ideal settings to output from Corel in order to create these files? It's my understanding that MPEG4/h.264 compression would be the most efficient way to encode these files, but it's not clear to me how or if I can do this in Video Studio X2.

There is a (file)size and length(running time) limit on the majority of YouTube accounts from what I understand. Mine is 1GB and 10 minutes I think.

try the new beta "bulk" uploader on youtube. it allows uploads to continue after an interruption that would kill the normal uploads. you can still do 1 at a time with it.


i had been having the same problem, with uploads dying after 500+MB were up, and having to start over multiple times.
