Youtube Upload, increase quality/control (HQ hack obsolete)

You HAVE to hex edit?? I don't know anything about HEX. So if the resolution is 1024x576, its over 350 kbps?

Won't it work if I save my RAW file in Sony Vegas as 1024x576?

thats the problem right there... trying to do something you dont know anything about rarely gives good results.

No.

I'm having some trouble with H264 videos. In the past, I could download an untouched video I see, and re-upload it and it would produce the same results. Now my re-uploads are getting encoded. Anyone have some information on this?

last h264 video i re-uploaded was like 1week ago... havent tried after that. but all other h264's i made upload just fine, so i dont know if those failed re-uploads mean anything...

[cjwcorp]

Are there any HEX tutorials for uploading in 1024x576?
well, what do you change in your final FLV file to make the bitrate able to go over 350kbps?

I'm experimenting with an FLV at the moment; I'll send you a PM if anything noteworthy happens...

Hello all, I am a trance music producer and have been using IMutube to upload my music to youtube, until they started to re-encode every video. I am not looking for mega-quality, video resolution does not matter, the only thing that matters is audio quality. The bitrate of uploaded videos is well below 320k.

I know this thread is mainly for HQ high resolution videos, but is the closest one I found. I tried "FLV reader" but the video got messed up after upload too. I'm afraid I don't know much about these things.

Anyway, can I find someone who would be so kind to point me to the right direction for uploading "picture videos" with high quality audio streams? Thanks in advance

Guys as we all know the maximum limit on uploading vids on Youtube is 11:00 (Unless you had a Director account some time ago) but I came across a video which was glitched most of the time but it had a length of 19:11 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ruo0ybTf43g
Made me wonder if theres a possible way to hack/hex etc a video to allow longer videos to upload? Frifox did it a while ago so you never know...

@ rajman, that video seems to be under 11 minutes with a lot of glitched/repeating/studdering parts. No idea why it's like that though, I'd say zappa would have the best chance at understanding it.

I saw a guy on YouTube "ytscreeningroom" and it says that he joined YouTube on April 2nd, 2008.

He's uploading videos that are 40 minutes long... check it out. http://youtube.com/watch?v=0OB8rhd_QiM


I seriously need help Hexing... can someone help me?

thats an account by youtube themselves. thats why they have no time limit.

cjwcorp, that channel was made by Youtube, and it's a partner as the video autoplays on his channel.

edit: woops, clicked post at about the same time as you frifox. =p

[frifox]

Unfortunately, no matter how many channels AAC standards themselves support, Flash Player will downmix multichannel audio to stereo at its decoder.

you're right on this one... i have 7.1 sound card, so i borrowed my friends 5.1 speakers and tested it out. locally, it played surround. on youtube, it was downmixed to 2 channels

oh well, i wont be needing 5.1 sound in my uploads anyways so its okay that flash downmixes the audio

so i cant get HD with frifox's vmutube to flv and then use flv reader. >

hello everybody
i m looking on this topic for hours buth cant find the answer to my guestion: is there a way to hex-edit the time to 10.59 with a hex-edittor yes/no i tryd it the way as the original user guid says buth it does not shows up as 10.59 on youtube pleas help my

[zappa_engine]

There is no easy way to hex edit the duration unless you know exactly what an FLV tag looks like and how to search for it in hex. To explain that would be to explain the whole syntax of the flv file structure, and Adobe does a fine job at that.

I think it would be easier to just append another flv tag with the duration of 659999 (max timestamp before 11 minutes). Here I pre-generated an audio pad with this timestamp in my program, and then hand-edited in the final tagsize to make it a valid file to append to any FLV file.

http://flvbuilder.googlecode.com/files/audio_pad_659999.flvtag.and.tagsize

Download this file and run this DOS command:
copy /b your_video.flv + audio_pad_659999.flvtag.and.tagsize patched_video.flv

Well, enjoy. It's not the total solution but one part of the whole solution that my program will do automatically when it is updated and released.

My guess is that there was something with the original (.wmv, .avi, etc.) file at ~35sec that caused YT encoding process to partially hang. It continuously encoded the same ~0.2 seconds of data that was last buffered. For some reason, it gave up at 19:11.

It'd be interesting to get a look at that original video. Someone beg the guy. Thanks.

[LiveInTrance]

I'll beg him ^^

This guy did a hack, i know for sure!!!

[dark_guard]

He has an old director's account. I have one of these accounts too but my ability to post 10+ min videos is diabled. However, some users still have it.

Btw, thanks Zappa! Keep on truckin.

I heard that if you hex edit the 2nd from last audio timestamp that the video will show 11:00 on Youtube...but when played it shows the actual video length! Thats what I cant seem to do

Hi guys!

Is there any way to make the streaming bar 'scrollable' in an one-still-image-stereo-video (like frifox did in this one)?

I've used this cool method... but every time you click over the time bar the video starts again (and it's quite annoying) (example)

Thanks!
