YouTube recommendation... H.264 + MP3... possible?

[Bubblevision]

I'm revisiting the format I use for uploading to YouTube, Facebook etc. since Facebook always encode my Nero AAC audio at the wrong speed.

The recommended formats for uploading video to YouTube are here:

Specifically:

video codec: H.264, MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 preferred
audio codec: MP3 or AAC preferred
container: MPEGTS (MPEG2 transport stream)

Is it actually possible to put H.264 video and MP3 audio into an MPEGTS container, or in fact any container? If so, how?

Thanks

I manage to fit MPEG4 video and MP3 audio into an AVI with Prism & VideoPad, and they look/sound great on YouTube.

MKV container does also work well.

MPEG-Audio (layers 1, 2, 3) can be wrapped in the following containers:

MPG
TS
MP4
MKV
AVI
ASF :P

Except for the MPG container, the list above applies to H264 video as well.

Thanks for that. I've been using MeGUI, and the way to mux MPEG4 video with MPEG3 audio in it is not obvious. I'll investigate further, but any MeGUI users know how to do this?

In MeGUI use Tools - MKV muxer.
