[Guernsey]

Have you consulted their guidelines?

I use RipBot264 to upload x264 (AVC) video with AAC audio in the MP4 container. but there are many other acceptable methods.

...do not (want?) any choppy or blurry videos. What should I do?

You're responsible for that, not YouTube.

Fastest and least obstructive way to encode for YT is ffmpeg.

@set FFMPEG="%CD%\ffmpeg.exe"

@echo Video is interlaced (1=Yes, 0=No): %delace%
