Require Assistance reg. 720p (see 2nd page)

[DumpsterGameplay]

We just got ourselves an HD PVR and we recorded some footage. Today I was going to upload our first HD video, but when I rendered it in 720p as a .mp4 file, it says it'll take over 200 minutes to upload it. I tried a few different rendering options after that but they had the same results as the first.

I'm using Sony Movie Studio Platinum Suite 12 for the editing and rendering of our videos. The first time I rendered in HD, I used the "Internet HD 720p" option under MainConcept AVC/AAC (I normally used the 480p option under the same category). Second attempt was as a HD .avi file, but that was a mistake.

So, my question is which rendering option is best?

(If any of that didn't make sense, just ask me to clarify and I'll try my best.)

Render it with an H.264 codec. Best quality + compression.

I render in H.264, with min mbps = 5, max mbps = 8

Actually, I recommend a bit rate from 10-20. Looks way better

pointless, youtube compress it to minimum 5 and maximum 8. All that does it take up more room on your hard drive and take longer to upload.

Thanks a lot, guys. H.264, I'll keep that in mind for next time.

15 mbps is equivalent to 15,360 kbps so...

15 mbps is recommended for 480p creators.. so.. again.. pointless, unless you're a youtube creator uploading in anything higher then 8 mbps (at 1080p) is kinda pointless..

You want to use a higher bit rate instead of a lower one for high quality. I think you've got this mixed up

but why would I waste storage and time rendering when youtube will compress it to around 8mbps anyways :')
