How to upload your videos in HIGH DEF to YouTube
For the past month and a half, my YouTube videos have been very grainy for some reason. So Alex and I were discussing this while on the river on Friday, how you sometimes see the option on YouTube to "watch in high quality"
I'm gathering that there are some specs that will give you this option, and I'm going to try it with our Westwater video this weekend.
Here's what one dude says:

Here are the settings to use:
-Divx, Xvid, H.264 video UPDATE: You can also use WMV and HuffYUV.
-At least 600kbits/s video bitrate (Verify with MediaInfo). UPDATE: If you have a low motion video that doesn't make 600k, add a faster moving segment, or decrease the Max IDR-frame interval (x264) or Max I-frame interval (Xvid). I will keep you updated on the screen capture/video game 600k issue.
-At least 480x360 screen size (try 640x360 for widescreen)
A 2-pass encode isn't a requirement, but it produces better looking results. Also I forgot to mention instead of choosing "nearest neighbor" as your resize method, try "Lanczos3," I think it too produces better results."
I'm testing one out by uploading as a divx right now. That may be the ticket. I'm SOOOO tired of grainy footage on the trail. I just may have to re-upload my latest videos in a different format to see if it works.
Here's his video which is a bit long...
