There are different options when uploading files to YouTube. AVI, Flash, MPEG and other formats. Which format should you use.
According to YouTube the best format is MPEG4.
The YouTube tech support site states, “YouTube accepts video files from most digital cameras, camcorders, and cell phones in the .WMV,.AVI, .MOV, and .MPG file formats.”
It then goes on to say that files converted from .wmv to one of the other formats generally have a lower playback quality than other file formats.
The bottom line is: “YouTube recommend encoding directly to MPEG4 (DivX, Xvid, SQV3) at 320×240, with 64k Mono MP3 Audio.”
