You Tube is driving me nuts.

Okay...what's the secret to getting the ENTIRE picture to show on You Tube? My vids look retarded, like I'm filming the rocks instead of the Jeeps. What gives?

Format is MP4.

Is THAT the problem?

If I had to guess, I'd say resolution. Try lowering the resolution.

Mmmmkay...I'm gonna need a different program for that huh? Anyone know how to do this?

I'll do it on the camera next time I film, but can I fix the videos I already have?

When I do it, it's called a "conversion". It's designed to convert to different formats. Even if I use the same format, I can convert with different settings. Sort of like a "Save As", except with video. This may not be the right way to do it, but it works for me.

I'll take a peek when I get home. I don't have any of the software on my workstation.

mencoder/ffmpeg

Do some googling on those two. With those two packages you can do whatever you want with video. I'm pretty sure there's windows versions of both, including GUI front-ends to make them 'click-able'.

I recently converted my MPEG to FLV to use a flash video player on them using the following command:

[code]
ffmpeg -y -i "inputfile.mpg" -threads 2 -s 320x240 -r 29.97 -threads 1 -pix_fmt yuv420p -g 300 -qmin 3 \
-b 512k -async 50 -acodec mp3 -ar 44100 -ac 2 -ab 128k "outputfile.flv"
[/code]

(See why I said you'd want a GUI frontend?)

Uh....

What?

Just use babelfish to convert it from sanskrit to english then uncheck the pig-latin box and there it is. Couldn't be simpler.


GUI is my friend.
