Re: [CGUYS] YouTube videos
I made the mistake of using iMovie instead of Final Cut. Do I need to start over? Is there an export setting that works? So far, after trying to export 3 times, they all look terrible, but original video looks excellent, even on a 42" TV. iMovie is not a mistake. Many podcast producers use iMovie because it can get the job done much faster. It should be perfectly fine for YouTube. You did not provide enough detail to judge what you problem really is. Video is full size DV, 768x5.. SD. Camera, Canon Elura. File size, ~3.5GB. Duration ~16 min. I usually make these competition videos both iPhone size and DVD video. Haven't posted competitions on YouTube before. I've already added chapter markers, but if I export to QT those will probably disappear and I'll have to split the video again. Oh, no, does this mean I have to RTFM!! * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

Betty, I use an old version of iMove to edit the video I place on YouTube and have had no problems.

Re: [CGUYS] YouTube videos
The Youtube encoding Help seems to start around http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?answer=55744 . In general, you want to encode to .mp4 640X480 *progressive* (this may be wrapped in a .mov on the Mac, I dunno). Unless there's a lot of fast movement, you can save a lot of file size by using a lower bitrate, maybe 4mbps or even lower. http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=132460 Note that the first thing Youtube does is re-encode your video to Flash (7 I think). Sometimes this just looks awful no matter what you do. If that's the case you may want to try a different service like Vimeo instead. I'm not sure what Vimeo's reencoding to but it often seems to give better quality. They've got a nice compression settings page which you should read anyway. If you're really into it, be sure to read the tutorials linked at the bottom. http://www.vimeo.com/help/compression On Mon, Jan 25, 2010 at 12:23 AM, b_s-wilk wrote: > What's the best format and easiest way to go from DV cam to upload to > youtube? > > I made the mistake of using iMovie instead of Final Cut.

In fact, just yesterday I was looking into obtaining a different ISP. Even if my ISP is not directly at fault in my case, they are not going to go to bat for me by trying to find out why this situation is happening. Indeed, they tried to suggest that I switch to broadband from them. I had to tell them that where I live my only option along that line is the cable provider that has the monopoly in Fairfax County. He was making the same assumption that you seemed to make initially, that being that I am particularly interested in Youtube videos. That is not the case at all. I was not pursuing the causes of my truncated downloads because I am hung up on Youtube, but rather because the entire situation mystified me. Another question I would have is this: If it is Youtube and Google videos today, what content provider will have their data being throttled tomorrow?

Re: [CGUYS] Youtube videos
i would have been surprised if the tech knew what NN was. And with comcast doing what they are doing with their unlimited bandwith customers, I think the only binding agreement we have with our ISP's is that we will continue to pay through the nose and receive little to no innovation...and then when we use the bandwith we buy, we'll be shut down.

[CGUYS] Youtube videos
My ISP has informed me that while they do not have any restrictions of any sort placed upon any of their customers in terms of bandwidth usage, there could be other limitations being imposed by the entities that provide the wholesaling of content that my ISP "buys" from them. Or, Youtube itself is placing limits upon the availability of their data based upon a range of certain IP addresses, primarily those that serve to "wholesale" data to ISPs, either of which could explain my recent problems in being able to view longer videos online. My ISP tech informed me today that this practice is increasing, and that if I remain on dial-up, I should expect to see even more limitations being imposed in the near future. I asked him if this all had to do with any aspects of 'net neutrality' and he said it had more to do with business. I think the two are intertwined and, in a way, are two ways of saying the same thing.
