Exporting?

When I export I'm using H264....That is a much bigger file than a .wmv. It's taking 300+ minutes to upload a 4-5 minute video to youtube at around 900mb. Am I doing it all correctly?
 
Your upload speed is determined by your internet connection speed.

Fast connections move more data faster


Yours mustr be a very slow connection if it takes 300+ minutes.

I would expect 20 minutes here.

A couple of points... saying a '.wmv' file says nothing about the codec used. saying H.264 says nothing about the 'options' used...

There are also two forms of H.264. Quicktime has a H.264 encoder, which seems to have problems... and then there's the "Main Concept" H.264 encoder that Adobe provides...

AVC-Intra which is a 'H.264' format, can get rather large, as it is an intra frame encoding format, which means bigger files...

Also, doing 1920x1080 for 'youtube'... may be over kill...

I absolutely do not agree. It may not be Blu-ray quality, but if you have the option to upload the highest resolution that your video supports, you should take it.

Well, depends doesn't it... the current 'recommended' bit rates from Youtube, are 8Mbits/s for 1920x1080... It is perhaps a philosophical point, but I'd prefer a 'lower spatial' resolution, than trying to put out a 1920x1080 image, at 1/3 the AVCHD bit rate... Broadcast standard HD is about 20Mbits (or so...), so in any case 8Mbits is really low... for that size of an image.
 
Ok...My ATT Uverse is getting about 5mbps download and .35mbps upload...usually a little faster. What file type should I use in the export media box?

That's around the bitrate for the 1080p movies off of iTunes right now.

I looked at this, and yes, there was an announcement about supporting 1080p. But from the blurbs I found, they indicated that iTunes was providing media at 1080p with Level 4.0 encoding, which is a higher bitrate than 8Mbits/s.


So, if your viewing style is 'download' then view, the bitrate of the media becomes less important... well... perhaps non-existant...

If your viewing style is on devices such as iPhone, or more 'realtime/streaming'... then at the moment given download bandwidth limitations, something less than 1080p at a Level 4 (or greater...) would be better.

As a note, thinking about this... one hears of people exceeding their cell phone transfer maximums... now of course people 'lie'... but I wonder if there is some amount of 'innocent' stupidity, where someone is watching a certain amount of 'high res', which is essentially wasted on their device...

I don't know if there are options on youtube, or vimeo that allow for the media being streamed to be tailored to the device???

I was under the impression, and I've not looked in to it all that much... was that the one file was it...

You are confusing format support on AppleTV. Apparently I was giving iTunes 1080p movies too much credit at 8Mbps, looks more like 5.

Here's a couple of screen captures of the Export menu, with 'points of interest'...

From the "File->Export->Media" menu, the following dialog comes up. I've included both of the dropdowns that are under the indicated items. Normally only one would be displayed at a time.

Here select the H.264 Codec, and the Youtube 1080p Preset:

Check the values that the Youtube Preset gives, and you may want to change them...

Since you indicate that your ATT DSL line is running at 5 Mbits/s, the '8Mbits/s' preset value, may be a bit 'high', and will result in some hesitation or halting during 'streaming'... Your 'choices' are drop the spatial resolution to 720p, still a HD standard, or drop the bitrate to lower than your anticipated rate...

As a note... I don't think you are the only person in town who has a 5Mbits/s rate...

This is why these sorts of considerations are so fraught with questions... what is the viewer using to display... what is their effective download rate... at what quality level would people begin to say 'no thanks'... etc...

People who do this are either tethering to a laptop/desktop or watching lots of YouTube or Netflix. I'm a pretty heavy cellular data user outside of video, and I hit about half of my cap every month.
