Handbrake compresses the video, but it won't load to youtube

[SunnyEarther]

Hello!

I hope this is the right forum for the question.

Thank you for clicking on my thread.

I'll try making it short.

I recorded a video with my camera, it was a canon IXUS. I was happy- except the file size was over one GB for the 13 minute clip.

After adding some picture in picture with VSDC player, and compressing it with handbreak, new file size 450mbs...

except it would not upload to youtube. Youtube stucks at uploading (94%).

I tried uploading the uncompressed video (Minus the handbrake step) and it works OK.

Changes made were: I used 4 reference frames, changed sound quality to 128 bitrate, clicked web optimized, all else was default.

Any ideas why the compressed video does not load? Network glitch or could it be the HB?

Thank you!

First of all when you say "stuck", did you actually get an error or did you simply give up after awhile?

If may actually be processing the video. Sometimes it takes a long time to finish the last few percentages because of processing. Youtube processes videos in queues so if the queues are full you have to wait longer.

Handbrake and YouTube have been getting along famously for years, so it probably has to do with your encoding settings. H.264 with AAC audio in an .mp4 wrapper is pretty standard. What are you outputting from VSDC?

Nowadays I use the iPod/iPhone setting in HandBrake then upload to YouTube.....size doesn't matter....it's only YouTube.

You seem to insinuate that it does not matter what quality source you upload and that is blatantly untrue and does a disservice to the people who follow this forum.

Youtube does re-encode everything but if you provide a good source for instance using DNxHD codec the results will be better than providing a bad low bitrate source.

You should have stopped right there.....so I did it for you.
