As far as I understand these help pages, this is a recommendation. Indeed, YouTube also uses ffmpeg (so they say) for processing their files, and accepts quite a lot. They may reject some formats and codecs by filter - e.g. to avoid uncompressed input - but it's a matter of trial and error and experience. (Streaming to YouTube "live" is even more tricky.) > You can only upload lossless audio (as .wav or .flac) as extra language for > an existing uploaded video Is that so? BTW, the pages saying that PCM in WAV is accepted may either be enormously outdated, or referring to YouTube Music. You really need to be careful with trusting search results. > this lossless audio will be converted to a lossy > format by Youtube that will fit the videostream (usually AAC or Opus). THIS is the important point. While providing lossless input in order to not lose quality even before submission is nice idea (if it works), you will never get lossless formats back when playing the media from YouTube. And lossless video is not really bandwidth-friendly anyway, but that wasn't the question obviously.
