Article | Best Video Formats for Youtube Uploads

I have been uploading videos to youtube for more than a year now, starting with a video of myself (yes, myself) singing a cover to my favourite songs, until recently I started to upload videos for my blogs. And it was sad that I missed out the information about how I can maximse the quality of the videos by following the right formats for the videos.

This information is indeed in the youtube website, however, I believe no a lot of people would know it - I took a year to realise this!! :(. Well here are the pointers to remember:

1. Video format is best to be H.264, MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 preferred.


2. The recommended aspect ratio of the video would be 4:3 or 16:9.


3. Resolution: 640x360 or 480x360 (recommended).


4. If it has audio format, try to haeve MP3 or ACC preferred.


5. It is important to have 30 frames per second.


6. The video should not beyond 10 min (2-3 min would be best).


7. Maximum file size allowed is 1 GB.
