Audio-Video Sync Issues Part 4 - MOV upload (MPEG-4)

I've just run across a page in the YouTube help site entitled "The sound is out of sync on my video. How do I fix it?" and according to the page:

"Out-of-sync sound is usually the result of using an audio codec that our system doesn't support. We're always adding new ones, but if this happens to your video, you can try re-encoding it with a different audio compression. We recommend MP3 audio for best results."

This page is available here:

I had recorded the previous MOV files in as the default QuickTime setting - Best (H.264). This time I am trying the "Good (MPEG-4) option to see if this improves things any. (NB: I said I used the MP3 option in the clip and I don't believe that's correct).

do you know how to fix a double audio? because i have a anime muvie and it has inglish ans japanis audio.

That's a tricky one. The only audio replacement option I'm aware of once a video is uploaded is AudioSwap, but that only lets you replace the audio track with music. It doesn't support audio editing.

The only way I can think of is to do it before you upload it. In this case you'd need the English and Japanese portions on two different tracks, so you could just remove one and leave the other intact.

Sorry, I can't think of any other way. Perhaps someone else has an alternative?

works bro, gonna have to do this myself, what program are you using?? Cause im using the standard program that microsoft packages in their VX line of web-cams.

In all of the tests I recorded the clip using QuickTime Pro and then adjusted the output settings to use a different codec.

@numetalJamespunk10 I do too & mp3 doesnt chg the fact that every video codec that YouTube "accepts" doesnt stay in sync w audio/mp3.

I had a problem with latency when ever I uploaded webcam videos made in Quick Time to youtube or face book. The audio and video was always out of sync. I decided to take my quick time videos and edit them in IMOVIE and then post them through the share feature in IMOVIE, and now there are no noticeable latency problems. I'm not sure if this works for PC's and their equivalent movie editing software, but I would give it a try. Plenty of light always helps when recording videos also.
