youtube upload without transcode

[VirtualDoobMon]

Hey Guys,

I quickly checked the site and wasn't able to find what i was looking for and this is time sensitive for me - so throwing it out here for hopefully a quick answer.

Need to upload a few MPEG files (DVD rips) that my company owns and they want it on youtube. I have already ripped the files and am indexing with DG for deinterlace, crop etc. What i want to do is just convert them locally and then straight upload to our youtube account -without having to worry about them be converted again.

Can somebody advise what codec i should use as well as audio codec. I've uploaded a private ripped mpeg2.mpg (small file) then downloaded again to analyze with mediainfo for specs but when i try to reproduce the encodeings with the specs of the downloaded file and upload it ... seems to always get converted anyways!

Again, thanks guys & apologies if this is in the forums somewhere that i missed.

Cheers.

I don't know of a way. As far as I'm aware Youtube "always* re-encodes.
