upload videos quickly

[Demon_Skeith]

Anyone know of any good ways to reduce video file size to upload to youtube while still maintain quality? Say at least cutting 600MB by half?

You will have to choose between size and quality.
Yes,you can reduce the video's size but that effects the quality.

I have been reading ways just to compress it a little without losing anything.

As far as i know, you need to make the video into several parts *shrugs.

Well....I don't have anything else to share. Let us know, if you find something interesting

I found out you shouldn't record at 1080p. huge difference in file size.

You can see if converting the video file to MP4 or Divx video file makes the size of the video lower instead of using WMV, AVI, and other common video formats. 

I think 720P should be good enough since a lot of people watch videos on their PC monitor, or laptop which is not a 1080P monitor.

the video is MP4.

Lowering the video frame rate to 30 frames per should make the file size smaller.

then that hurts the quailty, specially now that youtube allows 60 frames.

60 frames per second video seems too fast when I watch 60 fps video it seems everything is "Fast Forward". I prefer 30 frames per seconds like TV and movies which are mostly recorded in 25-30 fps. 60 fps maybe good for playing game, but 60fps seems too fast when you are just relaxing and watching video on a PC monitor.

60 frames per second 1080P videos also seem to make my computer lag when I watch them on a web browser like Google Chrome.

There also seem to be a lot of users who can't watch 1080P 60 fps video on their computers according to http://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/2n2kw2/youtube_1080p_60fps_stutter_framedrop_a/

Some Firefox users claim that Firefox does not support 60 frames per second YouTube videos. Internet Explorer does not support 60 fps according to different topics I read on tech forums.

Does not seem to work for me, or any one I've talked to. Is this a bug or is it Chrome only.

I'm surpised they don't support it, but I'm sure they will soon.

The best you can do is change the video format and that might reduce a little of its size without affecting the quality too much, but usually if you try to compress it too much, there is some level of quality loss. That's just how it is...

I did learn I had the bit rate up too high, lowering that made a big difference.
