Why won’t my sound upload? How do I reverse request to disable embed?
Why won’t my sound upload? How do I reverse request to disable embed?am at wit’s end. I am not using any music, only a microphone audio track that is there in my .mov file when I record my tutorials. I have used SnapzPro, and now IShowU HD to make some tutorials. They play back fine as normal movies. But when I upload them to Youtube, the audio from the microphone is missing. There is no sound at all, yet it’s there when I view the file on the computer.
What on earth is going wrong that it won’t upload microphone sound, when it’s a standard part of the movie? I really don’t understand, and I don’t have any more time to waste on this – I’ve spent hours recording these tutorials, with everyone in the house threatened to death if they so much as sneeze.I think .mov is your problem. YouTube doesn’t recognize the QuickTime audio format. You need to save your videos in a YouTube-compatible format to get both video and audio working. Despite what you may think, video and audio are actually saved into their own separate tracks, regardless of being bundled into one file. Your video format seems to be compatible, but your audio format isn’t.
I’ll see what I can do. It’s a bit difficult on a Mac to try and save it as anything but .MOV. But in IshowU I am saving as ‘youtube’ format, so I would have thought it was saving it in the rightly coded way. I’m trying to upload it to Youtube from Quicktime Player, and I’ll see if it will covert the sound there. You would think that if Quicktime player has the ability to upload it there, it would try to convert the sound there. What’s strange is that the mov files out of my camera upload fine, it’s just the ones on this computer that don’t.Yeah, I figured you were using a Mac. That does make things difficult. Of course, in the end, .mov is just a container. What’s really encoded inside is a little more tricky to determine, but encoding format is the general difficulty that you are facing. What you should do is make a short video only a couple of seconds long and play around with the settings for the audio codec. Use the short video for easy uploading as a test to see if YouTube will accept it.
Contrary to what Xelger is saying, Quicktime containers are accepted and there’s no pressing reason to use a different container. An mp4 container, for instance, is just a much more constrained “flavor” of Quicktime/.MOV, and mp4 is the container your video will be encoded to by YouTube in both the best normal quality video and HD, if your video qualifies for HD encoding.
Most likely the problem is specific to the particular codec you’re using for audio. Many Mac apps (Windows apps as well, actually) allow a wide selection of codecs that are excellent for some purposes, but not appropriate or not encoded consistently well by YouTube.
Optimum codecs are listed in the link below, but it boils down to a choice between AAC or MP3. Either one should work if you don’t use any bizarre settings. I’d suggest sticking to a constant bitrate of 128 or 192kbps (for stereo, you can halve the bit rate if your track is mono). Use the same sampling rate that the original audio was captured at — though ideally it should be either 44.1 or 48.0kHz.
I had the exact same problem today. Earlier this year, I successfully uploaded several .mov videos. Today, I tried to upload a .mov video and it had no sound. I solved the problem by exporting to MPEG-4 in Quicktime. File>Export. I played with the options to get decent quality like selecting broadband, streaming etc.
I don’t get much choice in how to do the sound in the program I’m taking the video in, but in the latest quicktime in Snow Leopard, I can easily convert to M4V, and it uploads fine to youtube.
The latest quicktime also allows me to share it directly on Youtube, but I found that it didn’t like any movies that were more than about 2.5 minutes long… They would just time out.
1. Take a look at the embed code (see below). In bold you’ll see “YourChannelName”. This is where you’ll insert your YouTube username.
2. Delete “YourChannelName” and replace it with your actual YouTube username.
The first rule of handling a potential Internet revolt (whether justified or not) is to respond FAST. Whenever criticism builds, respond loudly and clearly to your users that you’re listening, interested, and willing to explore changes, and revolts will be quelled immediately.
In my humble opinion you’ve done almost everything wrong here. After 57 thousand angry comments on the blog, 9 thousand angry comments on the announcement video, dozens of “anti-beta” YouTube channels and online petitions against the change scattered all over the Internet, your response has been deafening silence, and the help page still promises a July 15th “forced migration” date. It’s completely unapparent whether or not anybody at YouTube has noticed the commotion. So what happens? The pitchforks are out, the voices are still getting louder and angrier and the ASCII art on the blog is getting bigger and more desperate. Some users commented they had flagged the video as “promotes hatred or violence”, and it wasn’t a joke.
YouTube, I can’t overstate how badly you’ve handled this. For such a huge site you ought to have something resembling a clue how to listen to and interact with your users! The single thing you didn’t do wrong is that you (apparently) haven’t censored any criticism. Thank goodness, or everyone would have gone ballistic. You got that right by accident though, because actually it’s completely typical for responses to the YouTube blogs to be ignored.Even if you respond now, damage has already been done. Users incensed by the lack of response have probably already gone to their forums and chatrooms all over the web and posted comments along the lines of “YouTube suck. They keep making stupid changes and don’t listen to their users.” Because as long as you aren’t listening, we’ll tell anyone who will.This doesn’t reflect well on Google either. If there is ever a major revolt against a Google change like this, it looks like you/Google will be completely incapable of handling it. How can you expect to control a billion angry web surfers?
While I do sort of look forward to the potential fun and chaos of a massive Internet-wide revolt against Google, I suggest you get a clue. YouTubers have raised big objections to the design of the new channels, aggrandized by the fact that social website users will generally resist and reject major change to their pages, whether they’re improvements or not. It’s like getting up and finding someone switched your car for a different (newer) model overnight, while losing your toolkit and personally chosen seat covers (analogy to the channel backgrounds, etc). You’d feel indignant, right?
