MPG for Youtube?

[Evhmoon]

I have a client that needs to upload DVD video to you tube. They have been getting alot of complaints of the quality of the vids after they are on youtube. I am aware that youtube compresses what is uploaded.. But i have seen good clear video on youtube before. The file types that we have been providing her have been WMV and about 1200KBPS bitrate...

Someone told me if i upload a MPG, the quality would be bettter.. is that true?

Also, what is a good MPG editor where i can place titles and such on the video as i currently do with the WMV files?

Budget is under $200

THANKS!

What wmv settings are you using? What resolution and frame rate?

YouTube apparently re-encodes everything that's not in FLV format. I doubt that changing the format will matter.

Anyone whose business depends on the quality of an upload to a web site that they have no control over has a broken business model.

For one thing, they're not uploading 320x240 resolution videos. For another, they're probably not uploading WMV. For another, perhaps you're viewing the "High Quality" videos. These days they recommend uploading 640x480 XviD/DivX AVIs. Then you're likely to get a decent looking 480x360 video as one of the ones they reencode.

don't all youtube videos have the option to pick watch in high quality, i seem to get good play back from just uploading a VBR mpeg video.

Sure (well, most do), but if you upload a 320x240 video as Evhmoon does, then the 480x360 "High Quality" version can't look much better. If, however, you upload a 480x360 or higher resolution source, then the reencoded "High Quality" version will look noticeably better than the reencoded 320x240 "Standard" version.

I'm just saying that the better the quality of the uploaded source video, the better the quality of the High Quality version as compared to the Standard version.

In your case, though, uploading the MPG might not have been such a good idea as your reencoded YouTube version now has bad aspect ratio; People are tall and thin. I don't think your source video had black bars on the right and left added at playback. You should have resized and reencoded into some other format for upload.

Yeah your right the footage was in the aspect ratio 2:35:1 looks like youtube just squad the 16:9 AVI video file
to 4:3, it not a important file to encode again.
