Magazine Article Correction - Re: YouTube & Flash


So, it appears YouTube Caught on to the tests that I and many others were doing to find the best FLV settings for YouTube.

Up until recently, you were able to upload FLV's to You Tube without them messing with (i.e., compressing) your videos. Alas, they decided to change that. It's too bad too because you were able to get some really high-Qulaity video on line. Now they convert Flash FLV's too.

Here are some samples of tests I did before it got shut down - hit more info by each video to see the settings I used:

Medium Quality:




High Quality:

Anyway, with that out of commision, I found that WMV's did pretty well when uploaded and converted - especially compared to MOV's which not only looked bad, but also suffered from A/V synch issues.

I wouldn't worry about it. YouTube is changing over to h.264 (Quicktime).

re: YouTube's recompression
by Mike Cohen on Jun 26, 2007

I have been using WMV at the highest frame size and bit rate possible to keep within the 100MB limit. Worse than the recompression is the occasional loss of audio sync.

I suspect that within a short period of time one of the YouTube clones will improve on everything bad about YouTube and become the new leader. Google will then shake its hands and wonder why they wasted their 1.5 billion clams on a sinking ship. Maybe.
