  • ill just stick too my calculator

  • I dont't know why your video looks fine, every video I upload gets deinterlaced and that's annoying ._.

  • What a load of shit, ill skip your advice and just upload in 1080p

  • wow its super hd!!!!!

  • he looks like robin from the goerge clooney batman

  • Why don't you just delete this if it's outdated?

  • Does this method still work or is there a better or an faster way?

  • @16siemon Just use good videomaking practices, and look for AVC or H.264 or MP4 as an export option. That should work fine.

  • its funny cuz this video is not in HD nor doesn't have the option :p

  • @2FR3SH4COD You're right; that's why it says (OUTDATED) in the title. Things have certainly changed on YouTube!

  • @DerekForPresident oh thx captain Obvious

  • Comment removed

  • @DerekForPresident and you method is completely useless all you have to do is to go to custom settings when you render it then change the setting to high video quality

  • @2FR3SH4COD where the hell is the custom settings thing im useless with this stuff

  • I think YouTube changed the requirements, they aren't as nitpicky anymore about bitrate or anything, all you need is the proper resolution and you're good to go. 360+ = 360p, 480+ = 480p etc.

  • You don't mention to convert to a wmv or mp4. Just tried to upload file as the original edited avi and youtube says, failed to upload and convert file.

  • does mod files work for this?

  • Thanks for the help it really worked :D

  • hey derek, i am using windows XP and i cann't virtualdubmod . Could you please help me!

  • @uday932 virtualdubmod can be tricky - you have to download the proper package. Get the one with a whole folder (not just the exe). Unpack them into a folder on your drive. You may need to run AuxSetup.exe first.

  • thats some great info, but what if i am looking for the best audio as possible?

  • @HipHopBoston if you're going for max audio quality, I recommend either Apple lossless AAC for the sound, or upload an AVI with uncompressed audio. This way it gets compressed only once, by YouTube, instead of an extra time by you.

  • lol is that fuckin chest hair poking out the top of his white shirt lol my god that is great

  • how do you get all these codecs in virtualdub?

  • @azizi2626 just install them. free-codecs dotcom is a great place to get them.

  • to get high quality go up to your address bar, put the letter "Q" between the words you and tube and then press enter or click go

  • LMAO the super awesome something something something

  • greenscreened!

  • no sht sherlock

  • Godjob insulting the guy who trying to help you..You guys are Scumbags..

  • i agree

  • @FreshAnimeEpisodes I agree 100%

  • You say "nerd" as if it's a bad thing.

  • I personally think ur a tit and are jelous

  • If you own any type of audio program such as Audacity that was mentioned, be sure to use an Equalizer on the audio, bump up the high end, and then save as MP3. It makes the audio quality more crisp and clear for your productions.

  • Right on, that's actually how I do the sound for my videos. I export a WAV from Vegas, then while the video is rendering I fine tune in Audacity. From there, I save as a WAV (MP3 would cause the quality so suffer a little more) and put it all together again with VirtualDubMod.

  • I usually use WAV as well, but some prefer MP3, because in some cases it makes rendering faster, because it's compressed.

  • @lilcory334 It's 'cos youtube recommends mp3 audio.

  • lil bitrape

  • in the filter mode, isn't lancosz3 or watever its called better than nearest neighbor? Please reply back, i just need this question answered. Also, does this work anymore? Because nowadays youtube doesn't give the HQ option to just any video. But if I go through this process, would the normal quality still be better than if I didn't go through this process? i hope that made sense

  • about to stop the video and go away. Too nerdly explicated. LMAO

  • Fucking nerd?

  • 0:42

  • nvm. I found out the problem! :)

  • tell me what to do i have now the same problem :S reply pls.thx.

  • it says corona.dll is not found. Why is this? I can't open virtual dub mod because of this. This thing keeps popping up saying "corona.dll is not found." Please reply, thanks :)

  • you look like my ex boyfriend!

  • I have all that, but don't you need to download java? If so, can someone give me the link, because I can't find it :P

  • nerd...

  • i taped my video on my camera. and i cant get high quality what do i do?

  • he blinks alot

  • OH SHIT! Your right!

  • damn straight

  • look at the lighting, he is looking straight to the light:D

  • Make a video about people who makes video about who lives on Youtube. Does it makes sense?

  • i need help to convert the h.264 videos format. from Canon FH S 100. it is really confusing me for the HD vdo on Youtube.

  • where can you find the video url?

  • pplz! put &fmt=22 at the end, better quality!

  • or you can also put "&fmt=18"

    I dont know which ones better

  • Ugh! I've been looking for that all over the place, thanks man xD

  • Hey people. I am going to start to make videos and put them up on youtube. I will do Vlogs, stunts, pretty much anything you suggest I will do. I will mention your channel name in the videos with your suggestion. Peace out :D!

    tell your viewers to add "&fmt=18" at the end of the video URL and it will be high quality,

  • some of my videos are in HQ and HD too. i'm so glad of the settings.

  • if you set ur video dimension to 1280 x 720 u have a HD option, instead of HQ.

  • oh fuck i thought this was a joke! :P haha as in "high quality" i thought they mean "high" like weed HIGH...

    haha im so high hahaha

  • maybe your jst high yo

  • i dnt even remember writing this, ya i was really high

  • come watch our vids

  • Thanks i just noticed i did have h.264 on one of my videos...so i was wondering why i had hq on one of my videos XD i will use it now on

  • fucking hairy ass chest

  • i found bigfoot!!!

  • wax your chest dude looks ridiculous

  • Or you could just enter &fmt=18 after the url. hehe

  • I have the high quality option and I do not have virtual dub. I just pubish my videos under windows DVD quaity.

  • Thats high quality not high definition :)

  • what is the diffrence

  • ..stupid. HQ is better quality.

    HD is high definition. which is really bigh high quality.

  • glllleeeb gllooobbb ..super awSOME BIT RATE WITH the super compressed fLUX COpassodor ..geeezzzzeeeee

  • flux copassodor... nice i like that :D

  • ahahaha

  • i use divx pro v 6.8

    i use bsr screen recarder

    but it still don't come

  • on 3:52 on the vid on the blog it shows a HQ option but i do not have that on any video. and i go to my friends computer and he has it on most of the videos and if i am not mistaken all of them too. how do u get that option

  • i wonder why you have to save as example.avi twice when you're just going to overwrite or replace the 1st one? can i just make the nth pass instead?

  • You have to run 2 passes for it to work. The 2nd (nth in this case) pass is based on statistics gathered from the 1st pass. If you don't want to wait, you can try one of the single pass methods. With single pass, you can either lose quality compared to a 2 pass encode, or get unpredictable file sizes. CRF is pretty good, but you'll have to experiment to find what meets your needs.

  • cool you rock

  • can the video be H.263

  • ROTFL!

  • How do you get the quality so well without having to click HQ?

  • I focused on compressibility.

  • I Tried that on Vista....and I have some problems opening v

  • if i open up Virutaldbu to do the stuff u did in the video its all okey till i get to the compression stuff. I dont have the x264vfw codec in the list but i have installed it. How can i solve that?

  • Er... could be a Vista issue. Which OS do you run? Anyone tried it on Vista?

  • jeah im using vista x64. btw i can use the controlls of the codec but it wont appear in virtualdubmod

  • Why don't youtube come out and say how to achieve HQ? I think its rather stupid people have to do loads of tests in order to obtain a service that they openly provide. Its not as if we are breaking some sort of rule here.

  • I uploaded a video the other day and it had the HQ tab and I don't no y? I haven't done anything different none of my others are like this lol

  • what the hell is this guy talkin about? he speaks another language

  • I think high quality is back to normal. My recent videos which don't have alot of motion have HQ enabled.

  • Thanks - I'll have to run more tests.

  • in this age we shave chesthair

  • ive uploaded some videos and i dont necessarily want them to have the hq option but i do want them to be as clear as your video at the beginning. im using a sony avchd camera and final cut express. and i still cant get the quality your getting like that begging. some help? thanks

  • omg! look at the chest hair!

  • nerd

  • You've got skew glasses xD

  • Hi. Do you know how I can convert my normal videos to completely fit the new player?

    If my account is banned, search eternityNYC6 and comment on my profile, to reply to the comment. However, that's only if this one, is banned.

  • i know how to google search allok video to mp4 and donwload it and then when it asks u for a key message me so ill give it u then choose 640x352 and choose 30.00fps and then convert

    !

  • Why can't it be like go to 'My Videos' and then at the bottom next to delete or insight theres a button that says 'HQ'?

  • Well at least &fmt=18 still works......

  • soooo why the hell is it so hard to put one High Quality link on your freaking video! !%&%!%&/&#"$

  • I see now a HQ or HD icon inside the youtube player :) But erm what loads faster? HQ or HD? HQ right? so what are the best options?

    -width + height

    -codec for vid

    -compressing program, not huge in mb's

    -coded for audio

  • plz derek you're the only one who can save us :D I tried tried to upload video with these specs:MPEG format 640x480, 7000 kb/s 25Fps and nothing... I tried 5 times same video... and nothing... I cant get high quality option...

  • It ain't the same anymore... I can do it now with 640x480, and I'm working on widescreen - but another video got stuck in processing! I hate that!

  • me too... But you know, I have a friend here, she upload about 15 videos in last three day... and EVERY SINGLE VIDEO get HQ option....you can check: user/EllaHr

    She told me that she use: Windows media HD 720p (PAL) (5,9 Mbps) but didnt said anything about video size... I will ask her

  • That's HD - not HQ. HD is easy - assuming you have widescreen footage, resize to 1280x720. HQ is only used in a minority of cases.

  • My fault... I asked her about HQ and she gave me this specs and I copyied them here... didnt even pay attention on HD :( lol... maybe it's true, that you have to make some motion with text in first 5 seconds... I am doing it right now, with one of my videos, that video didnt got HQ first time, without that text... so if I get it now... I will tell you ;)

  • wax ur chest, its disturbing.

  • are you making a new video for the NEW requirements? THANKS A LOT :D 'cause this used to work, and like you said, it's outdated.

    you are REALLY helpful.

  • I am. For now, see my blog; I'll put it in the description.

  • i dnt wanna no how the nred language works i just want youtube to stop raping the quality out of my videos

  • I'm not trying to promote myself here, but please go to my "high quality spoofing" videos if you need help. PM me if you like. Believe me, I was pulling my hair out too. The trick is pretty simple and I've had very good results spoofing HQ and widescreen. Yes, you have to fool YT to get good quality.

  • lol no he's not

  • Frame rate 25.000 - 50.000 Filters ''Sharpen'' 64 Filters ''Resize'' 480x360 Filters ''Deinterlace'' Compression ''x264''-> Configure-> Multipass - 1st pass-> Bitrate 1000 File. save as Compression ''x264''-> Configure-> Multipass - Nth pass File. save as-> Oversave But it still doesn't go ''Watch in HQ'' I can't get the ''FourCC code: to H.264 and the Decompressor to: X264! I get: FourCC: Sony Digital Video (DV) Decompressor: Mainconcept DV Codec HELP!
  • Things have changed. Stay tuned.

  • Okey..

  • So did the Settings Change for High Quality?

    Because I've always used

    640x480

    h.264 codec mp4

    2000 kbs bitrate

    30 fps

    mp3 128 kbps

    I've always been using that setting and my video never shows for watch in high quality, what is the newest settings?

  • if you think this explanation was hard,try to edit avchd extremely painful with settings

  • does it improve sound quality as well?

  • If your video is poor, and audio poor, (muddy, no stereo) your video was processed in the lowest quality by YT. Try adding a 5 second motion-heavy intro to your videos as YT scans the first part of each video to determine the quality it THINKS your video should appear as.

  • Hey DerekForPresident, I saw that link you posted. Is that the reason why some older and newer videos that were bad quality are better now?

  • They've increased the quality of the normal videos. It's AVC within a flash container, which is pretty much the same as the MP4 (&fmt=18) version. I sure hope they go back and make the older videos look better.

  • How come Virtual dub mod doesn't work? It says corona.dll was not found. What does that mean? and i tried installing it again, but the same thing keeps popping up. please reply back. thanks

  • You must run VirtualDub.exe from the same folder as all the other files in the zip, including corona.dll. Click extract all, put them somewhere on your computer, and run the exe from there.

  • Has anybody noticed that SOME newer and older videos that were bad quality are now good quality?

  • Does this work with frapsed videos? like for recording games.

  • Ur video got so good quality !

  • Comment removed

  • nice nerd

  • so this is outdated n everything n theres new shit but...does this still work ?

  • It doesn't guarantee the link with the new changes, but the normal quality videos have improved quality so it's not as big of a deal. Recommendations: for 4:3 (not widescreen) you can choose 480x360, 640x480; for widescreen 640x360, 720x404, 852x480, 1280x720(HD).

  • My newest video I have it as 700x480 like I always have and for some reason, I never got the high quality option. For months I have been using the same exact settings and never had a problem until my latest video which I uploaded about 5 days ago.

  • im in love with u .....

    so cute ....^_^

    kisses

  • thanks bro ....

  • I wanted to say: and since they put that, my uploaded videos, wich are wmv format, ARE IN catastropfic resoultion...

  • They have increased the quality of the normal videos, so the HQ link is less relevant. One thing I have noticed though is: right after you upload and it first goes live, it looks horrible. I suspect this is because to avoid delays they create a fast temporary but not so pretty looking version. Once the better processed version is done, that replaces the yucky one you saw before. So wait a bit and see if it improves.

  • I hope they have fixed whatever they tried to fix earlier this month. During my testing, I saw three different levels of quality for "Normal". The lowest had poor video and no stereo. The second had good video and stereo, and the third was good video, stereo and wide screen.

    I was able to create wide screen (no bars on the sides) with my 5 second "spoofing intro" that was resized to 1280 x1024. I wish they had a button to select what quality you want when you upload! Crazy!

  • Derek I must say that youtube is really pissing me off lately... They always removing, than puting back, than removing, than puting back that god damn annotiations... first beneath video, now it's above video... and since they put that, my uploaded videos, wich are wmv format, are not in catastropfic resoultion... even they have high quality option... WTF is going on with youtube? if they continoue like this new shits, I will be first one who will leave this site.

  • lol.. this is good, but i just wanted to say, the way you talk reminds me of sara palin.. lol not a bad thing just i was kinda laughing.. lol

  • Funny; you're not the first to say that. I KNEW I should have done a Sarah Palin video like everyone else... dang.

  • thanks

  • my video has all the requirements but it still doesnt have the watch in HQ option. i recorded it and uploaded the same way as i did for all my other vids, and they all had it automatically, but my new one doesnt. help? please?

  • Things have changed; the LQ version is now better, so there's less of a need for the special link.

  • After around 2 weeks of work with a couple other guys, we figured out how to get HQ to show up. Search "Youtube High Quality Mystery" and hopefully this will help you. Youtube scans the first part of your video and determines if it should be HQ, even if you meet the req.s, your videos may still show up "normal". I think this may help you.

  • taefledermaus - excellent comment, thanks. Though now I think things have changed AGAIN. Even without spoofing, the normal quality videos are improved now.

  • Thank you very much :)

  • hey, where did you got your background of your video?

    can you give me the lin or something?

  • I designed it myself with GIMP, then added motion (KenBurnsEffect) and layered it with AviSynth.

  • thank you for your presentation. i tried to do exactly what you did. however, the file i obtained had a black screen with only sounds. could you please give some comments or suggestions on this problem? i made the original avi file by fraps.

  • For two pass encoding, you must run "2 pass 1st pass," followed by "2 pass Nth pass." The first pass gathers statistics but has no useable video. Alternatively, you can experiment with some of the single pass modes.

  • ok well we use the same program and format for all of our videos and still only some will go into HQ

  • They've changed things recently. The normal version is better than it used to be.

  • very helpful love it :)

  • This was soooo helpful. I needed to watch this video months and months ago.

    Cheers!

  • ur no nerd m8

  • wat if u want to use a computer software to recored on your computer wat software would u use?

  • i have VirtualDubMod and when i click on it its say this application has failed to start becuase corona.dll was not found. what should i do.

  • Try to download a different file back from where you download it from..then after extraction..drag a video into the program..

  • Hi, I tried to do my videos at 480x360 but it failed miserably, the quality was bad. Now I am doing it at 640x480 but it can still use a pinch. I am receiving a few error messages in the log after I save as the "nth pass"

    x264vfw [warning]: Error: 2pass curve failed to converge

    x264vfw [warning]: target: 1000.00 kbit/s, expected: 534.32 kbit/s, avg QP: 10.0020

    x264vfw [warning]: try reducing target bitrate or reducing qp_min (currently 10)

  • thanks for the guide man

  • この動画についてコメントを書く

  • Thats all very well fella but wat if you want to do editing like in windows movie maker?

  • Many of us use Movie Maker. I save my videos as "best quality for playback.." and it worked fine. However, and I don't know why, the last week or so, I have not been able to get ANY of my videos in HQ and I am doing everything exactly the same way I always have. I'm very frustrated with YT.

  • Yeh. "YOU TUBE.. HERE US: YOU SUCK ASS!"

    Prob why Daily motion is becoming more & more popular!

  • I thought I was the only one. I use vista, and when I publish videos as the widescreen 16:9 DVD Quality, youtube used to convert the videos to include the "watch in high quality" option. However, recently youtube is not giving me the "watch in high quality" option anymore, even though I still exported and uploaded my movies in the same way! Very weird...

  • It looks like the YT bug that was preventing many of us from posting HQ video is being resolved. Almost all my videos uploaded in the last 24 hrs are showing in HQ. I posted over 50 "test" videos in the last week and NONE of them showed up in HQ. (edited with Movie Maker) Hang in there, it should be working normally again soon.
