Hey guys,

First time "uploading" anything to youtube for me,Ive uploaded a WarZ clip,Which works fine but its only in 240,360 & 480p...does it take time to show 720 & 1080p?..if so how long?

I was recording in Fraps,my screen res is 1920x1080 and i just uploaded the video file fraps gave me,No editing or anything.

thanks!

Yes it takes time. Depends on the file size as to how long it takes to convert.

It depends on the length of the video and how busy the server is.

If it's a raw Fraps while as well I would imagine it will take quite a while, it saves the video uncompressed so would be quite a huge file size

.

Could use something like Handbrake to chop the size down, will also help speed up the uploading process.

Thanks guys!

@Orcvader,So i just import my my movie file into handbrake,and add to Queue then start encoding..then re-upload that encoded file to YT?

Pretty much. Can also mean you can delete the raw Fraps file as well since you'll have a more compressed version.

Encode at around 8,000-10,000KBits/Sec bitrate if fixed or aim for around 8,000Kbit/sec variable. Youtube will never display anything more than that so encoding massively above it is a waste of time.

1080p plays at ~8,000Kbit/sec iirc.

Well still not showing on Youtube any higher than 480P :/

I uploaded it about 3 clock this afternoon.
