This may already have been posted and/or resolved but I wanted to relate a bit of my recent experience, and success, with posting HD video from my Canon HV30 to YouTube.

I must have tried about 30 iterations of different VS11.5+ video file formats for rendering and finally came up with one that worked. But it also reduced the size of the video in the YouTube viewing screen.

But it did give fair quality and an HD option button which improved quality more (but slowed download speed).

I am not sure what combination of factors resulted in all of this because I also downloaded a new Flash video player and also made changes to my YouTube profile. For those, I found this site helpful:

There may also have been some changes to the YouTube site during my testing which may be the real reason I can now upload HD to YouTube. Sorry, I just don't know which of these various factors actually resulted in success.

In any event, for YouTube HD, I now find that I can render my VS projects for HD upload to YouTube by Share, Create Video File, HD DVD, NTSC HD DVD - 1440 choices with no loss of video size. It takes my computer some time to render and even more time to upload to YouTube. After it has finished uploading to YouTube, it takes even more time for it to be available in HD quality on YouTube. I don't know how much time as I usually start the YouTube upload and then go to bed. Here are a few results:

When I first select these videos, they come up in pretty good quality and there is an HD button next to the volume control at the bottom of the YouTube screen. Clicking the HD button gives me a larger screen with better quality though with the aforementioned slower download/stops to buffer depending on my cable modem traffic at that moment. Sometimes it plays pretty good.

I am curious to know what others get when they select these last two links, i.e. if the HD button shows for anyone else and what it does, and how the video quality looks. I would like to know what other Forum members think and if these VS rendering choices work for anyone else.

Thanks.

It works very well in HD, I could enjoy full screen.

I have just viewed in excellent quality. The full screen is most impressive, as you say a bit slow in loading but I am trying it early on a Sunday evening when everybody and his uncle is using up bandwidth. I shall try again at 8am GMT tomorrow when I usually get max download speed. I have just bought a Canon HG10 so will give that a try on You Tube.
Very well done, should encourage much better quality on You Tube!
