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

im so sad to hear this especially from frifox, my life is ruined

i said that because i'm too tired of people demanding help without contributing... especially when everything you are asking about was already discussed earlier in this thread (maybe not in too much detail but still, it was discussed)

Exactly, well said Frifox 8)

ok sorry, i did read from 18 and so forth til now.

^ Then you should have no trouble uploading HQ videos. Frifox wrote clear, detailed instructions on the popular 16x12 method, no hexing required.

[inohaw2speal]

i dont know how to use the commands to locate the folder of the video.

I've been reading and reading and reading for the past 2 days. I have figured out how to make the 16x12 png. I then converted it to .04 second flv file. Then I appended it to my real flv file. I followed frifox's instructions earlier on in the thread on how to do it. But when I upload to youtube, I get failed to convert! Should I just keep trying to upload the video? Any help would be great! Thanks

Try putting your video in C:\ (the default directory)

Start ----> Run (Type Cmd)

type "CD.." once
type "CD.." one more time

and then put in the FLVBind command

[tim528]

I've figured it out. my bitrate was >350! once i had a bitrate below 350, it worked great. Thanks everyone, and thanks frifox for your how to!

I've been reading the thread again and I actually got the 16x12 method to work, thanks to a helpful youtube member!
Anyway I have some problems relating the methods, "w16" and "C243".
Is it c243=zappa's method (flv reader)?
Is w16 the same as "16x12" method?
I don't need to explain anything again, if just someone could point me to posts in this thread where the methods first appeared and are explained that would be great.
Anything and everything I need is just to upload a flv with 128kbps mp3 and a picture with correct thumbnail. If there's no one who would want help me, I'll keep searching for the methods for a while and if I cannot find something that works, youtube and high quality music do not mix for me anymore and I'll have to find a different host for my music. Thanks to anyone who wants to help me.

zappa-engine the audio pad does't work anymore i think my first 2 vides where fine buth now it says:Failed (unable to convert video file)
this is onley with one vid maby its the video buth i dont think so
can you fix it?
ps i m going on vacation tomorrow

[zappa_engine]

The audio pad was not proposed as a full solution. Several people requested information about how to hex the last timestamp to 11 minutes and I simply provided the solution to that part. There are other things that need to be done, such as providing a rejector frame(s). Also, depending on codecs, a padded front header may need to be added, but at this moment I won't be saying I've studied those alternate codecs too much and had much success. There are probably other factors I forget to mention, like the filesize is limited due to 11 minute cap and bitrate cap.

Here is some explanation of methods (but not how to do them) @ http://code.google.com/p/flvbuilder/wiki/YouTubePatch

Anyone here use Google Adsense on their account?
Does it pay well?

I've seen some channels with Adsense and it seems that they can customize their channel even more if they use Adsense...

I have also seen one channel... All the videos were locked and it said "Please Subscribe to get full access"

Is this even possible???

[Assault]

What channel would that be?

* Make 16x12 black PNG image in Photoshop
* Save it as "16x12.png" to folder where FFMPEG resides
* Open CMD, and browse to the folder with FFMPEG and 16x12.png
* Run this command:
ffmpeg -loop_input -f image2 -i 16x12.png -vcodec flv -r 25 -g 1 -t .04 -sameq pad-16x12.flv
*** the code above, will make a 16x12 FLV video lasting only 1 frame (40miliseconds)
* combina that one 16x12-frame FLV video to your actual FLV video:
FlvBind uTubeVideo-patched.flv pad-16x12.flv uTubeVideo.flv
*** for the command above, you'll need "FlvBind" program... google for it and you'll find it, first link
* upload the produced "uTubeVideo-patched.flv" video
* uploaded video will have pixelated thumbnail, but it will stay HQ smile.gif

I did that, but changed ffmpeg -loop_input -f image2 -i 16x12.png -vcodec flv -r 25 -g 1 -t .04 -sameq pad-16x12.flv to this ffmpeg -loop_input -f image2 -i 16x12.png -vcodec flv -r 25 -g 1 -t 1 -sameq pad-16x12.flv

Changed .04 to 1 cuz it didnt work with .04 and i couldnt find that certain ffmpeg version.

then used flv bind, then it failed to convert on youtube automatically

I also tried uploading it 5 times which somepeople tried and it got through.

[cjwcorp]

I think there is something wrong with YouTube today... I uploaded 7 IMUTube created Video files and they all got rejected...

Rejected (Failed to convert)....

[inohaw2speal]

so its not me? or its just the method? ill try w/o the method and see what comes out.

EDIT - Uploading works w/o the 16x12 thingy, i thing youtube found about..

Yeah I'm having the same problem here. Uploaded a few videos and they do not show up live. Something's fishy with YouTube today. Oh and I'm using Vegas + VMuTube + FLV Reader method.

[cjwcorp]

What is FLV reader method?
all I do is render using Vegas.
Run through VMUTube.
And then FLVBind "default" and "utubevideo"

[neohanime]

It's a program created by zappa_engine a while ago that worked on HQ YouTube for a limited time. Then it started not working. So zappa_engine combined methods to make it work. Basically do what you did with Vegas + VMuTube, and then run it with his program.

Changed .04 to 1 cuz it didnt work with .04 and i couldnt find that certain ffmpeg version.

Type 0.04 if .04 doesn't work for you.

[neohanime]

OK it seems trial and error seems to be working with YouTube today. If your videos get that "Cannot encode" error, then re-upload. That was what I did and it seems to work. I've only tested with one video though.

[Spartacomp]

I would like to invite you to try the "TeamWork Method" in order to be able to upload HQ stereo flv video files which will appear on YouTube with a proper thumbnail and displaying the correct time when viewed.

Please give me feedback. It is extensively tested but there still might be some imperfections and if so, just let me know. In the meantime, enjoy, as long as it works!

Read the instructions carefully!!

With special thanks to Zappa_Engine for motivating me and the latest insights. (and to freakydeakyalive as well )

Greetings,

[inohaw2speal]

thanks assault i changed it to 0.04 and i tried reupload and it didnt work and also zappa's flv reader didnt work for me either last week or this week.

ill try out your method sparta

i fail

[Spartacomp]

inohaw2speal, if you don't understand everything, please reply to me personally and privately. okay?

[frifox]

its okay spartacomp, he's not the first and definetely not the last, dont waste your energy...

back to the topic, you mind explaining what that hexalter command do? i know it replaces the FLV header, but why?

My experiences are that if there's an flv header, YT will read it. I have tried many times with altered headers, no headers, but to no success.

[inohaw2speal]

ok im going to stop asking for help and try to find out myself, sorry for buggin you guys.
