  • Reminder: If you are spotted posting 1st, 2nd comments you will be blocked ;)

  • so comments have been renabled and first sayers are back i guess i understand why you disabled them in the first place

  • @taltigolt Yea, these 1st, 2nd comments get annoying fast and a main reason why I disable comments here on YouTube. It seems people just can't control themselves and post topic relative comments. And some people wonder why I disable comments :/

  • Hi, My DVD player for some reason does NOT play MPEG4, So what other option is the quickest/best format to convert it to?

  • mp4 doesn't make a small file size. H.264 makes it small. As others have pointed out, mp4 is just the container.

  • @charlocharlieL When YouTube converts the video it saves it as .flv

  • I heard .flv is the native format for YouTube and the best for it.

  • mp4 is gehy .avi 4 lyfe. lol jk i like mp4 for my windows phone 7 and pretty much nothing else

  • .mkv ftw

  • @pranshuch14 yeah 264 codecs rule

  • hello rodney reynolds! are you using sony vegas pro 10? if so, could you tell me your settings, because i am usually converting my videos to .wmv, and the file size is really big. any help?
