youtube desperation at DVinfo.net

Guillermo Ibanez · March 2nd, 2009, 12:36 PM

Hi,

I'm writing in here as last resource because I've been trying all day long and I don't get the results that I was hoping for. I need to upload a few high quality videos to youtube for a customer. I've followed all the guidelines everywhere on the web (including here) and I can only get one of the videos to give me the option 'watch in high quality' even though they're all are encoded at the same quality, size, par, etc......why!!!!
links:
high quality one --> YouTube - Altitude 360 London - Venue Presentation
poor quality one --> YouTube - altitude 1st anniversary new tag

mp4, 864*486, PAR 1.000, VBR 768000-4000000

what's wrong?

thanks!

have you tried rendering to 640x360 (wmv or h.264) and uploading that?

actually i was able to view the 2nd clip in HQ by forcing it with the &fmt=18 tag

YouTube - altitude 1st anniversary new tag

Thanks for your replies Keith,

I've always been able to watch the HQ version with the '&fmt=18' tag that's why is so frustrating, I want it to be that way by default!
I think that I've tried everything but it doesn't work : (
what I don't understand is why only one of them can be seen in HQ, maybe youtube applies certain restrictions so you can only have certain amount of HQ videos?
