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

[TheGoldStar]

wow, megui encode alot faster than vegas,

same vid:

vegas: 10mins
MeGUI: 2mins

[falcionxx]

It is a good program :

[dark_guard]

but if for some reason you need to mess with the source video, decompress the video and do your work while using lossless codecs such as Huffyuv/PCM... then, as the last step, do a high quality compressing to H264/AAC MP4 file (MeGUI) and upload it.

How important is this? Also, which tool should I use to decompress to lossless? Is it ok to use TVC or should I use MeGui/Avanti?

[falcionxx]

So he goes to the best setting for the film to 16:9 (best use MeGUI):

[dark_guard]

Awesome! But does it give you the "watch in HD" button? Also, do you have to resize the video to 640 width?

[falcionxx]

does not receive watch in HQ but did not even want to because it gives me a high-quality h263 not a x264 so ...

hello all
can someone pleas give me a explenation about the meGUI thing cus
i downloaded it and it askes for a avs file buth i dont get how i get my video to .avs
i try saving my video with virtualdub as .avs and it saves as a .avs buth when i tryd to open i in meGUI it says: AviSynth script error unexpected character


? wath do i need to do pleaas help!

You need to create a valid .avs file. You can use the avisynth script creator under tools menu in MeGUI

There are dozens of guides how to use MeGUI if you [search], here is one to get you started

[tsm200]

thanks i got it up working)))

and also thanks for the quik response

[tsm200]

i got a 1 guestion more if you do this and you add &fmt=18
do you get STERIO sound?

and wath are the setting for a 4:3 video?

[ricardouk]

Awesome! But does it give you the "watch in HD" button? Also, do you have to resize the video to 640 width?

To get the fmt=18 version quickly use Avanti and select the h264 template.

Avanti is far far far more easier to use, dont need to be creating avs files, just select whatever type of video and "bam" its done, i use it and 80% times i get the Hiquality option after 5 minutes. Its only when i upload in the afternoon(America waking up lol) that it takes longer for it to become available.

normally i use between 800 to 1000 as video bitrate and 192 for audio and 480x360 as resolution

i got a 1 guestion more if you do this and you add &fmt=18
do you get STERIO sound?

if the source was stereo to begn with yes you will, if the source was mono youll get "fake" stereo.

[Assault]

Ricardo, could you post the user video options line for that? Or does it not affect anything?

[ricardouk]

i dont touch the user video line options, it just displays the "code" for the options you selected altough you can add "stuff" to it but im not that skilled with command line options with ffmpeg/x264.

[tsm200]

hallo all i got a guestion:
when uploading flv's was still possible zappa-engine created a audio pad so the video skipped the black frames buth let youtube think it was 11min long so is this also possible with a avi file?
if you dont want youtube to read it just pm me

[falcionxx]

for 4:3

480x360 or 640x480

for 16:9

make video in letterbox (avs command)

DirectShowSource("your source video")
AddBorders(0,120,0,120)
BlackmanResize(480x360)

or

DirectShowSource("your source video")
AddBorders(0,120,0,120)
Lanczos4Resize(480x360)

you can also use fft3dGPU (you must have Directx9 graphic card)
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=89941

command AVS:

LoadPlugin("where you have plugin installed")
DirectShowSource("your source video")
fft3dgpu(mode=2,precision=2,plane=4,bt=4,bw=16,bh= 16)
AddBorders(0,120,0,120)
Lanczos4Resize(480x360)

x264 settings and write later, as yet, with a black belt method gives the highest quality.
This is the worst thing that gives youtube keyframe interleave at 25 frames therefore maintains video quality at a level not whole 500kbit / s sometimes 632kbit/s

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPrcNuJ8Sas&fmt=18

We always have to wait until some youtube render our video format x264 video with black stripes longest converts as in the case of the above

If you can't upload flv video (H263,VP6,VP7) change the container with ffmpeg to avi or mkv (MKV Works on youtube)
Command:
ffmpeg -i video.flv -vcodec copy -acodec copy video.mkv

If you want HQ Audio remaster it to -30DB and again to 0DB with maximum slow relase time
This effect will prevent normalization on youtube

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APtD7JuxyOs&fmt=18

Youtube goes in the wrong direction after which a video of treating 3 times for poor quality sound and a kind of super good .Youtube has added to his player filters to improve sharpness what with poor-quality video gives a very bad effect (living pixels) This can be seen as taking a full-screen video

And so to rectify any setting video does not give you the version MP4 (& fmt = 18)
Watch in High Quality Button Specification:

480x360 FLV H263 Video
bitrate is more known but relatively worse on the quality of the codec x264
video virtually nothing is not no difference may file size (x264 is less)
only audio
96kbit/s CBR MP3 watch in high quality button
128kbit/s ABR LC-AAC &fmt=18

hello all
after some time got MeGUI working and uploaded a music video, i think the pic is pritty nice onley the letters are a bit not sharp buth the original was that also! here is it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjnbG_wpPpI&fmt=18
i onley wanna know or it is STERIO? i ame not good in hearing that
alredy thanks!
pleas ignore bad englise

oyeah youtube if you read this you may can ban my music video buth you can never stop my from uploading them i will continue

I do not know what was the source quality of your music but seems to be a little more damaged as 128kbit/s

If you do so as I wrote above, you come out something like this

so can i describe this video as: I Kissed a Girl - Katy Perry (HQ-STERIO!!!)
yeah its sterio buth is the music also hq???
after this i leave you guys alone!

Anti artifact and macroblock plugin for video

[tsm200]

i did a ather hq music try here he is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kn5vulubOp4&fmt=18
buth i think it failed cus the original file is crappy! ! \
and:
Anti artifact and macroblock plugin for video
http://www.avisynth.org/tsp/fft3dgpu0.8.2a.exe

i downloaded it buth what are the Anti artifact and macroblock plugins?
and with with program i need to open fft3dgpu0.9.2?

open notepad paste this:
LoadPlugin("where you have plugin installed") <- Give source path
DirectShowSource("your source video")
fft3dgpu(mode=2,precision=2,plane=4,bt=4,bw=16,bh= 16)
AddBorders(0,120,0,120)
Lanczos4Resize(480x360)

Save as "script.avs"

open in MeGUI and convert to x264

In short, the program removes small squares resulting from low quality and not only.Slows down the process of treatment but the film is actually the result of a higher quality of the film

[tsm200]

alright i installed fft3dgpu to D:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins and me video to deskop so my command is:

LoadPlugin("D:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins")
DirectShowSource("C:\Documents and Settings\jelle\Bureaublad\uTubeVideo")
fft3dgpu(mode=2,precision=2,plane=4,bt=4,bw=16,bh= 16)
AddBorders(0,120,0,120)
Lanczos4Resize(480x360)

buth when i open it in MeGUI it says:
avisynth scirpt error:
Script error: expected a , or)
(C:\Documents and Settings\jelle\Bureaublad\script.avs line 5, colemn 22)

what do i do wrong

[manono]

Lanczos4Resize(480x360)

Supposed to be Lanczos4Resize(480,360)

And you no longer have to AddBorders to give it a 1.33:1 aspect ratio. You can make it a regular widescreen video (640x272, 624x352, whatever it is) and YouTube will keep the aspect ratio and add black bars at playback time.

[atropine]

for 4:3



If you want HQ Audio remaster it to -30DB and again to 0DB with maximum slow relase time

Could someone who understands this automatic translation rephrase it into normal english so I can understand what he is saying. is "maximum slow release time" a setting in audio programmes or is it called something else , just the translator calls is that? Is the audio content actually changed as far as listening to it. Is he recommending 'Super' to do the audio?

Thanks.

Slightly off topic, but I just discovered youtube has ended something else . . . .

If you have clickable URL links in your user comments, those links have been broken. Only part of the URL is now clickable. Since the clickable part doesn’t include All off the URL, it doesn’t work anymore, forcing the user to cut and paste it manually.

Now, it gets worse. If you remove the “http://” to make sure everyone has to cut and paste the entire link, then youtube adds another hoop. Although the link looks OK while editing your video, the final user comments now has the link with random spaces inserted in the link. Now, users are forced to find the spaces and omit them to make the link work.

I’m not sure when this started, but I just noticed it tonight on all my videos (some over a year old).

If your links are youtube links, this may not happen.

It appears youtube has decided it doesn’t like external links in your user comments.

If you have external links in your user comments, can you verify this has affected everyone?

Anyone got a hack for that?

Ah yes, I just looked at some of the stereo video tests posted by others in this thread, and the links in the user comments are now completely hosed.

You do not need to put this in a folder with plugins

The same happened to me. I fixed it by adding a space at the beginning:

Instead of a broken link, doing this will fix it.

  Instead of a broken link, doing this will fix it.

Yeah, that's really 2 spaces in this example, but I couldn't make it indent just one space. All the links here work again now:

falcionxx-

What he did wrong was follow your advice on resizing in that script. It's not Lanczos4Resize(480x360), as I've already explained. It's Lanczos4Resize(480,360). I didn't say anything at the time, but I question your advice of the AddBorders(0,120,0,120) as it seems you're advising adding those numbers to every video source, but for most it'll be incorrect. And the usual procedure is to resize followed by the AddBorders command. And you don't need AddBorders any longer anyway, as YouTube now keeps the aspect ratio by adding black bars to widescreen videos at playback time. Just resize to the proper 1:1 widescreen resolution and upload that. Unless you have some reason for encoding the black as part of the video.

[tsm200]

thank you all so muths for the explanations and i got it up working and i firured out that MeGUI doesn't accept flv filis in the script command, so i splitted it with a ather program to make it a avi flv
so THANKSSSSS
