I was wondering how to get HD or HQ (high quality) on youtube. I looked for a thread already about it and came up with this http://forum.indymogul.com/showthread.php?t=16593&highlight=youtube+High+quality


And this is before the youtube update to wide screen and everyone is agreeing and disagreeing with each other so its hard to know witch one.

I have adobe premiere elements 4.0 and thereis a direct upload to youtube area and next to it is a little thing were you can choose the quality of the video but it was always whited out and it wouldnt let me click on it. I though it just wouldnt let me click on it B/ i didnt have an hD camera. now have the HV30 and got video of it on adobe but it still is whited out. I am wondering if this has to do with the youtube HD/HQ problem im having. can someone tell me how they got there video to have the option of high quality or HD.

EDIT: I uploaded a video of an HV30 hd test but it isnt hd

Requirements for HQ - 24fps or higher, about 1000kbps or higher (not including audio bitrate), and resolution of 480x360 or higher. Widescreen will be scaled down to 480x270, then back up to the 640x360 player size, looking yucky.

Requirements for HD - 24fps or higher, about 1000kbps of higher (not including audio bitrate), and resolution of 1280x720 or higher.

Of course you can go larger/higher on any of those settings. For example 640x480 is smaller than 1280x720 but larger than 480x360 so you'd get HQ, not HD. And bitrate can be higher (and probably should be) but 1000kbps is the minimum.

* One footnote: 23.976 is okay, though technically it isn't 24fps or higher.

When you export, look for AVC, H.264, or x264. Sometimes it's under MP4 (I haven't used your specific program). If possible, do a 2 pass encode (set encoding passes to two). Try a maximum bitrate of 3000kbps. Under resolution (width and height) select 1280 x 720. For best quality audio, use uncompressed (not MP3, CBR, etc).
