How to Upload QUALITY Video

I Love YTtalk
I'm confused right now about trying to upload clean looking video. It seems like my crystal clear video turns into pixilated garbage on Youtube. My mountain bike video looks like absolute s**t on Youtube compared to the file I uploaded. I've seen other GoPro videos online and they look amazing, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Somebody actually told me the video was unwatchable and needed a lot of editing. If they are seeing what I see when I look up the video, I can understand where they're coming from. I'm not sure if when I click 1080p while watching if it even switches on that video, so it's still playing back at 360p even though I picked 1080p. Is this an issue with my upload, or could this be an issue getting the right settings to play back on Youtube??? It's going to p**s me off the Hero 3 footage just turns into s**t through Youtube.

The video is probably appearing that way because as you said it's playing at 360p instead of 1080p. The quality will look a little off in that mode but wait like 2 mins and select 1080p again and see what happens it should start streaming in that mode and just to throw this in there generally speaking a good fast internet connection is most recommended in streaming a file upload of that size. I myself only upload in 720p for my newer videos that's just me. Hope i helped to some degree:)
 
You can go into your play setting so that it will play in high quality. The down side to doing this will be that your videos may take very long to buffer and play. If the option for 1080 is available then it will be available to other viewers. It's just a matter of what play settings they have (usually dependent on internet speed/connection) and if they will actually select the better option.

360p does make most things look like poop.
 
You mean the GoPro Hero 3? I'll try to watch that @ 1080p if my connection can buffer a lil' bit faster. xD

Edit: Okay, the video is becoming less watchable because of the noise in the footage. It's noticeable.:confused: Is this the same on your original footage or rendered footage?

God advice!!
 
There's something wrong with the bitrate. I'm playing it on 1080p and it does look very choppy. Don't go overkill with the bitrate though, I'm pretty sure YouTube processes it down anyways. The video in my sig was rendered at 24M bps at 29.97 fps @ 1080p as well.

The Youtube version looks nothing like the file I uploaded from. The youtube version looks like it was taken on the first ever camera phone or something. I see other Hero 3 Black footage that looks amazing. I'm not sure what they are doing differently than me.[DOUBLEPOST=1368667572,1368667486][/DOUBLEPOST]

This is what I heard, so it's not a fact lol, but I heard that YouTube will step down your bits per second and not use whatever native setting you used. So if you originally had it at something crazy like 200M bps, then YouTube will step that down to 3M bps and that could kill the quality of your video. At the same time if you actually render only 3M bps on your side, the quality will be s**t too. I've been using 24M and so far my videos have looked pretty close to the file on my computer.
