I then save it as a .wmv. When I tried to upload it to youtube it said it could not convert the file format, the second time I tried I got a similiar error. Pleas help me i was going to use youtube as my main advertising place. Originally Posted by RickyG Sure just like you can steal tic tacs from a 7-11. No one will catch you, except for God.

I would have to disagree Mr. Cecil... mpeg4 is grainy and pixelated to hell. I recommend using a divx compression. WMV should work though, I don't know why you are getting that error... at least one of my videos that I uploaded was in WMV format and it worked fine. Try saving the file in AVI/DivX format and that should work fine. MPEG4 will be ok if its a cartoony video, but if it has any kind of small details then they will be blurred beyond recognition. What's wrong with pillow shading? O.o

"safest for uploading to youtube." i read it somewhere ON youtube lol. reason its blurry is because its a format for things like handheld devices like the ipod and psp. and why would you reccomend divx compression over mpeg-4? divx codec USES mpeg-4 as a standard. "The DivX codec uses lossy MPEG-4 Part 2 compression, also known as MPEG-4 ASP, where quality is balanced against file size for utility." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DivX Edited by the Author. n/a

Because it's not mpeg4 native, which makes the quality suck lol. Yeah like you said, it's bad because it's meant for portable devices etc. Either way, it should work... was just pointing out that if the video had any kind of substantial detail he might want to consider divx or even standard avi (though filesize may then be an issue).

SoldjahBoy Registered 25/10/2006 Points 100	7th April, 2008 at 19:26:51 - @Cecil weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee You know I love you man @Clayton Sorry mate, no idea... I'm guessing that YouTube's embed source link doesn't work? Maybe it needs some tags on it like [YouTube YouTubeID] (replace the []'s with <>'s) What's wrong with pillow shading? O.o
OMC What a goofball Registered 21/05/2007 Points 3516	8th April, 2008 at 16:50:26 - yeah, Youtube's embed didn't work. I'll try a different identifier. EDIT: I is a gee-nee-us! (or really stupid.) the YouTubeID means the vid's number without the http://www/youtube.com/watch thingy and without quotes! HA! http://create-games.com/project.asp?id=1100 Edited by the Author.

Windows Movie Maker, though a complete crap editing program in terms of flexibility and power, is amazing a exporting. Give it a goal file size (anything under 100MB for Youtube) and it'll automatically export it to that size, keeping amazing quality. I've used it for all sorts of videos of mine, and I've yet to be disappointed with the quality. I'd love to show an example, but it seems like Youtube is down right now... Edit: Actually, it's just very slow for some reason? Edited by the Author. http://www.facebook.com/truediamondgame
