Converting and uploading videos?

Question

I want to upload a video onto youtube that is about 2 mins long. The file for the video is .mov format so i have to convert it.

What would be a good, free, easy to use program to use to convert the file? What would be the best format to use?

Also, what would I have to do so that when the video is uploaded onto youtube that it has good quality.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Well try:

I found this:

This one leaves a water mark on your video:

For the format try:

.flv , it is very well used. I would use that. If you can't convert that try .avi , that's also well used.

Good quality:

That's hard, YouTube makes your video look like bad quality so they can save server space and bandwidth. Just try to get the best quality as possible then upload from there.

Go to www.google.com then type in " .mov to .flv it will give you programs that you have to download.

.FLV is the badest video quality. I don't know how to make it into a good quality.

Answer 7

MOV format is accepted in youtube but its large file size, the best format is MP4 with 640 by 480 px ,so convert the video to this format and resolution and post it to youtube, the advantage of this is you will see the video after 5-10 minutes in youtube and have the high quality feature option under the youtube screen on the right side available after about 1 hour, so when some one click on view on high quality can see it very clear.

And for converting use SUPER from;

www.erightsoft.com  

its free and convert to all formats and sizes.

and one more thing for SUPER if you gonna use it ,when converting to MP4 format choose the (DivX) codec......... good luck.
