hello, i have been wanting my videos on youtube to be in HD but they only allow high quality. i have tried the following dims 1280x720 and 1600x900, how come it won't allow HD?
Add "&fmt=22" to the end of the URL.

That won't add HD quality. at least not if you can't select it below the film in the first place
I've heard that your have to have a framerate of minimum 25 fps, and as you said 1600x900 or something pixels.

mine was 30 fps @ 1600x900 i cant work it out
Are you sure that the editing software you used afterwards (if you did) exported at that framerate?
yes after effects render que specifically 30fps
Ok, then I don't have a clue.
But as I said I've only heard what I wrote, and I don't know every thing about it.
If you don't get useful help here, try checking on a very interesting site I just found. They might know how

Youtube can only handle 24 FPS
There looks to be some misinformation in this thread. How I upload HD video on YouTube:
First, I use VirtualDub to format the video in 1280 x 720 resolution, adding bars to the top and bottom if the video is wider than 16:9, and bars on the sides if it's narrower. I also use the gamma adjuster to raise gamma a bit as YouTube's compression tends to darken the picture a bit. I then load the video into MPEG Streamclip and save it as a Quicktime file, compressed in high quality h.264 with mp4 AAC audio compression. Make sure the "interlaced" boxes are not checked, and that the FPS is over 24 fps. In my case I shoot at 15 fps, so changing it to 30 fps will automatically double the frame rate.
Once you upload the video, it takes a few minutes to process the normal-quality version, which will show up pretty quickly. The HD version, however, make take hours to be processed. So when the HD version doesn't show up right away, know that it is probably just still processing.
Thank you so much, Sméagol. I'm trying it right now.

i always wanted to know how you compressed your movies Smeagol, they are always so clear. when you say high quality h.264 do you mean 80%, 90%, 100%? I used h.264, mp4 AAC conversion then youtube says "failed to convert upload failed." >:(
I think I used 85-90%, it doesn't make much difference in quality above that. I don't know what would cause that issue budget, perhaps you do not have the latest h.264 or possibly mp4 AAC installed?
i solved the issue using windows media 9 codec with 2k bitrate, but no idea why it doesn't work with MPEG streamclip.
