I didnt know this until yesterday After spending a few hours capturing nice videos of Doppler plugins in use, resyncing the sound produced by them, converting & then uploading them – all to no avail. Its a bit hard demonstrating a stereo process in a video with mono sound.
Dear YouTube – Mono? MONO?? WTF???? MONO?????
It seems a few (as in two) people have managed to find a way around the YouTube recompression to FLV format with mono sound, but I spent an hour or two downlaoding compression tools & it seems I need a Windows PC to do it And frankly that just isnt going to happen… YouTube – Mono? MONO?? WTF???? MONO????? That Youtube factory must be an odd place – last time I checked most humans have two ears…

I wonder how some folks got stereo to upload? I’m curious in finding a tutorial for this, too. I noticed this is definitely in stereo:

Ah, I found this… I wonder if it still works? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAMXgl_53uE
Yea..my videos now go from Stereo straight to mono now on youtube. Why would they do this? I think it might have to do with copyright law. Many music videos being uploaded in high quality where people can download them or something. I’m not sure what the reason really is but
you can always use http://www.livevideo.com and upload avi, mpeg, wmv and they’ll convert it in high quality stereo just as you hear it on your desktop.
youtube sucks now.
Similarly I use vimeo for any of my own videos that MUST be in stereo….
They also support 720p HD – my first two timelapses I did 8 megapixel
so i converted them down to 720p & set up an account at vimeo:
