A good program for converting video for youtube?
« on: July 11, 2006, 04:53:21 PM »
I am trying to get some clips up on youtube, but they only allow  100MB file size  :-\

anything out there for free that will make a good small conversion?



and how do some clips run 6minutes plus at that files size limit?  because it's so small?

any other pointers?

thanks

100 megabytes is more than enough  ;D

Download a program called Super:

Youtube recommends the following specs:
We recommend the MPEG4 (Divx, Xvid) format at 320x240 resolution with MP3 audio

Set your video bitrate between 500 and 800 kbits/sec. Just expirement and see what quality you find acceptable.

To estimate how big your final video will be:
Inputs:
b = bitrate (in kbits per second) - be sure to include both audio and video
t = time (length of video in seconds)
Output:
s = size of final video (in Megabtyes)

s = (t * (b/8)) / 1024

So, if you've got a 7 minute video and you want to encode the video at 450 kbits/sec and audio at 64 kbits/sec then the size of the video will be:  26.3 Megabytes

Hopefully, those equations are correct :)

I've never upped to youtube but I use AutoGK to encode to xvid.  it's free and very easy.  great results too.
