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

[Assault]

Try making your rendered files Resolution the same as your default.flv's resolution

Did that, I just don't think the format works or I'm choosing a wrong setting somewhere that I'm not seeing.

[cjwcorp]

I got a video working in 1 try. Tried several tests and all of them are working.

[Assault]

That works somewhat, except my VMuTube limits the bitrate to 350 kbps no matter how long the video is, ruining the quality. Also, it doesn't show the correct duration and I had trouble with zappa's method to fix it.

[cjwcorp]

What seems to be the trouble with Zappa's method?

[Assault]

And that is with VMuTube 1.1?
For me it auto-defaults to try to get the overall bitrate under 350, whether it is 1 minute, 5 minutes, or 10 minutes.

Also, can I just combine default.flv and my VMuTube-made video and hex the padding instead of using flv reader? The program won't work for me anymore for some reason, it just spits out the exact same input file.

Haven't tested VMuTube 1.1. Encode FLV using VMuTube v2.1. You can try whatever you want ^^

I was just sharing my method for those who were having trouble uploading.

Glitch in method: Must wait 4 seconds before video starts T_T

Could you upload v2.1 or send me a link for it? I can't find it anywhere, I've been using 1.1. Maybe that's why I have problems, =/.

MUST READ:
Stretch your video to a maximum of 10:57 using Sony Vegas. If your video goes over 10:57, YouTube will reject the file due to length of the video.

Your FLV file encoded from VMuTube will be 10:57. When you combine it with default.flv, your video will be 10:59(The maximum your video can be)

[cjwcorp]

CJW Entertainment's formula

1. Render using Sony Vegas (I used 480x360 resolution)
2. Run VMuTube (Output = uTubeVideo.flv)
3. Combine default.flv (480x360 default file) with uTubeVideo.flv
FLVBIND video.flv default.flv uTubeVideo.flv
4. Move into same directory as Zappa's FLV Reader and run through FLV Reader
5. Open up a Hexadecimal editor

~ Go down to the bottom of the script and click on the last cell (It seems to be 74 all the time)
Go to: Edit - Find - In Type select "Hex Bytes" (BYTE) - and enter the following value of 7 cells:

00 00 00 00 2f ff fb

and click Find.

It now will display the message: "A pattern was not found"
Click Ok.

Type (Shift+F3)
Change the previous 9 cells in your file to 01 ad 08 00 00 69 0a 10 e0

Save as an FLV file. (ready4upload.flv)

All Set!
Upload ready4upload.flv onto YouTube!

And that is with VMuTube 1.1?
For me it auto-defaults to try to get the overall bitrate under 350

when prompted for target audio bitrate, type "0" and hit enter... in the next prompt you can change the bitrate limit

[frifox]

have anyone managed to upload H264 video to youtube after 17th?

[cjwcorp]

H264? What would that mean?? I never knew........

But I have uploaded HD videos after the 17th ^^
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQbBhrYW1z0

[frifox]

H264 is a highly efficient video codec that can provide impressive quality video under low bitrates... i used it in the following uploads:
- http://youtube.com/watch?v=7Yhu0Jc-W70
- http://youtube.com/watch?v=Y3TMouePCf8
- http://youtube.com/watch?v=IIDLGi60r08

the last video using H264/AAC i managed to upload was on 17th. after that it gets rejected by youtube. so i was wondering, has anybody managed to upload H264/AAC video to youtube AFTER 17th?

[cjwcorp]

I don't think it says how to upload in H264 here..
Though I would love to learn how to.

If 720p is possible, than why not 1080p? 1920x1200 resolution

What program do you have to use to try H264 out?

[adamlui]

I'm guessing you got angry because of rajman, :P. I understand what you mean though.

Also, a question, has anyone had any luck with the TeamWork method and an On2 encoded FLV? I can't seem to get it to work, going to try MeGUI next.

Edit: Nope, no luck with MeGUI. Gonna try Super later.

Well I dont use Spartas method so I can do what I want, Ive been uploading HQ vids before the 'Teamwork' method came along.

You HEX edit the second-to-last timestamp, right Rajman?

He's saying to you and everyone else who type HD and HQ in their titles or descriptions to stop doing this and attracting the attention of YouTube with these labels. Of course you can do what you want, typing these things may get you more views, but out of respect for the community who want to continue uploading in high quality without youtube constantly stopping their methods, you don't have to be so selfish. I used to be the same way, but I've since removed my labels.

When using this formula, make sure to use the MULTIVIDEO Uploader... I've just tried uploading with the regular upload and it got rejected. MULTIVIDEO Upload for me has been 100% success rate

[venomite]

GOOD NEWS GUYS!
Spartacomp' New Team work meathod

The video limit doesn't have to be 4 mins or less: i have managed to upload a 6 min video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u01ttPSrHzw&eurl


I rendered this Still video using Sony vegas with the following specs:

640x480
25 framerate
320 kbps autio, 44,100
WMV format

Team work rendering Specs:

112 audio bitrate
640x480
25 framtrate
100 keyframe interval

+ i used .bat #0.9a


Voila!

hexing duration also works perfectly!

[101ers]

frifox method 1.7 still works but it goes LQ in a minute. How do we fix that?

[Assault]

Frifox, thanks for that tip with the 0 audio bitrate, I remember seeing that when scanning through the .bat but I guess I ignored it >_>

cjwcorp, did you run into a problem where it said 'Add a title and description for: yourvideo.flv' while using the multi-uploader? It isn't working for me, at all I think..

Well I dont think putting HD or HQ in the title makes any difference, there are thousands of videos uploaded everyday that has either HD or HQ in the title, so I dont really think Youtube looks at every single video hoping to find one of our HQ methods being used.
And to Frifox same thing with me, last H264 video successfully uploaded was the 17th for me to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5CMccdVgS4
H264 is the best as Frifox said, just see this video I uploaded a week ago, its <350kbps so no need for any hexing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoKwihE0tNU

[cjwcorp]

Guys.. try my method. Its working 100% success.

[frifox]

yes it might work... but "why?" is the question to be answered

[TheGoldStar]

cjwcorp, wich is the version of the vmtube you've used?

[frifox]

cjwcorp, wich is the version of the vmtube you've used?

it doesnt matter... they all do the same thing. encode to FLV using FFMPEG and LAME

[frifox]

btw, uploaded this today:

H264@600Kbps, AAC@128Kbps:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=pEBN4ZTRyF4

the only problem i couldnt tackle is that the fake duration still shows in the player. apparently youtube made their timestamp/duration checking much harder to bypass


How? same as usual, but for timestamp hack, for the last audio tag, change DataSize to "00 00 69" and timestamp to "0A 10 00" (or to whatever you wish)...

AudioTag = "08 DD DD DD TT TT TT"
DataSize = DD DD DD
TimeStamp = TT TT TT

[TheGoldStar]

when i encode to flv with VmTube 2.0 i dont get high quality vids.. here's a screenshot:

[rajman]

Ive just managed to upload a H264 video again....and it shows correct duration =)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKrZD_S3hPI

[frifox]

how did you go about faking the duration?

[rajman]

I did a few tests and for this video I just changed the last timestamp to '04 90 00' and it went through fine after re-uploading it like 4 times

[frifox]

lol, i also changed the last timestamp (to 0A 10 00) but player shows the FAKE duration :S
