Keeping HD resolution, sure. Keeping the same compression quality, no. I use the free converter Handbrake to make my final videos I upload to Youtube. You can adjust the bitrate. I use from 2000Kbps to 3000Kpbs for my final 1280x720 videos I upload to Youtube. > 2) I have uploaded HD to youtube but took 2 days with repeated fails, > and also took many HOURS to upload, those that got through finally Youtube can be touchy on uploads if anything disturbs it or if your connection is really slow. i.e. if you have an ADSL Internet connection that drops out or something. Also, I think I've had problems whilst uploading direct from a USB stick for some reason. No idea why that would be. I routinely upload 500MB+ videos to Youtube without trouble though on my (1Mbps upload/30Mbps download) cable connection. > 4) Tubemogul has increased my uploading size to 500MB, which I am very > grateful for, however, I still have some that are over that, and want to > know if following Ryan's directions to smaller, won't that take the HD > away - it states in imovie that only one export (I am saving to > computer) is HD? Using Handbrake you can set a final video target size. So you could set say 490MB and it will pick the compression ratio required to meet that. Remember, "HD" is really just the resolution like 1280x720, it's the compression/bit rate that really determines the final video quality. So you can have two identical 1280x720 videos, one 100MB and one 1GB in size, it's the bitrate that differs. Dave.
