H.265 or VP9 for virtualdub

[Ashir]

Hi guys, I'm making a serie or traning videos and most of them are 45+ minutes long. With virtualdub and x264vfw I can compress them to about 2 gigs, but I need to upload them to YouTube and that takes me more than 16 hours (512 kbps upload).

I read that H.265 and VP9 could make videos even more smaller with even more quality than H.264.

Is there something like x264vfw but H.265 or VP9, so I could use it with virtualdub?

Thanks.

Hi! Your question pending > topic

Not sure why you'd need vfw... if you want a GUI for x264, there are plenty out there. If you want a full-blown x26X GUI integrated with an editor, AviUtl has that in the extra pack. (But perhaps Avidemux will be sufficient for you...with only a mild learning curve)

Using x265 or VP9 will not solve your problem now since Youtube is still accepting H264 only:

Since you have a limited bandwidth, try shrinking your files like these:
1> Shrink the video resolution to 640x360
2> Apply mild blur or denoiser
3> Split your videos into 30min chunks and upload them separately
4> Encode with a max bitrate limit, e.g. 800kbps
5> Encode your audio into AAC, not PCM (just double check)

Just a note. VFW encoders are not needed in modern versions of Virtualdub since it uses CLI encoders with the External Encoder feature.
