I don´t get why HD still is so slow to load on YouTube (I live in Spain) when sites like Vimeo or Dailymotion do it without buffering (after clicking play), so I really prefer HQ.
Anyway I hate uploading anything above 50 mb because it can take over 1 hour blocking everyones internet in the house.
Is there any high compression codec that can lower the file sizes?

Thanks for your Virtualdubmod tutorial - brilliant! My clip is encoded X.264, bitrate 5Mbps, 18fps. However Youtube doesn't want to play it properly in HQ!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xAlzArG3bA
or when adding &fmt=18 It plays fast or green screen at start and always has the buffering circle blinking in the centre.
Can you advise?

Thanks

I must say, great that somebody is working to get all this right.
thx, Derek.

I don't know if all people already know this, but if you use Mozilla Firefox you can get an extension and a script that "force" youtube to put in the best quality setting (&fmt=18, &fmt=22, &fmt=35) automaticly in the URL. And fixes some other stuff like disable "autoplay". Go check it out if you already haven't.
Here's the link: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/31864

If you want some help with the script you can always ask.

Sorry for my bad english.

I just can't deal with the way Windows Movie Maker hides the settings under the hood. If it was me, I'd get a cheap version of Sony Vegas at the very least. But there's a guy on YouTube who knows WMM better than me - he's even used it for widescreen videos, so ask him: http://www.youtube.com/taofledermaus

Derek thank you so much for keeping everyone updated. I've been using this information for a long time and check your blog first every time there is some new confusing thing. I've been really frustrated not being able to get the 'watch in HQ' option on my standard def. videos.

I wish Youtube would be more upfront about the inner workings of everything. They assume everyone is an idiot.

Derek, You are doing us a great favor, thanks for the time you spent getting this info together.
My question is how do I make changes to the settings of my video, I use Vista, Windows Movie Maker and cant seem to find how to change the framerate, size, etc.
What should I do?

Their Needs To Be A "Watch In Blu-Ray" Setting Cos Blu-Ray Is By Far Better Than High Definition.
