Damn it! I'm getting tired of encoding problems! And I'm sure you are getting tired of seeing me posting that kind of thread in this forum. This time, it's about HD encoding. I've changed my way to encode in HD, since the "good" MKV way doesn't work for me. YouTube doesn't even encode the video. It leaves it all white all long. By seeing this, I've switched to MP4 packaging, like I did for that Wario Land encode. Another problem has arrived, that damn sound problem. The sound goes off at some point of the movie. But, with the method I'm using since a while, I didn't have any problem! Even with HQx! I'm using the same script since the first time I'm encoding in HD (except for HQx)! And the problem is even occuring when I'm doing point-based encodes! So, can someone who can actually encode in HD tell me or give me the builds of x264, FLAC and mkvmerge he is actually using? That would be much, much appreciated. Thanks.

I don't think you need to worry. The encoders' corner was created precisely for these types of things.

Flygon's x264 works perfectly.
Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.

Yeah. But where is it? I think I have to ask him.

Are you using VFR? What's in the MKV?

Nope. No VFR. In the MKV, there's an x264 video track and a FLAC audio track.

Thanks a lot! I'll try this out.

That's the problem. Somehow YouTube doesn't like FLAC in MKV anymore. Send WAV instead.

I'll try with WAV.

YT converts them to AAC anyway, so why don't you try that?

When I upload videos to Youtube, I either use uncompressed WAV or a ridiculously high bitrate (-b 500) OGG. The rule is, since Youtube will transcode anyway, you should upload things as uncompressed as you realistically can with your upload speed.

As Noob Irdoh said, it will be reconverted, so you want to send as good quality as possible

Well, yeah, if the upload size doesn't matter...

Don't worry, 15 min WAV is FAR smaller than lossless video. Usually video is the limiting factor, not audio =p

OTOH raw sound can actually take more space than acceptable-quality compressed H.264 video (as incredible as that might sound; however, it's not that unbelievable: Think how much acceptable-quality video you can fit into a CD, ie. 650 MB. Compare to how much raw sound there is in a music CD.) Compressing sound is quite beneficial spacewise.
