Video file not accepted by YouTube

[daveklee]

Hi, I've got m4v video file that plays in QuickTime and other players, but when I upload it to YouTube, YouTube isn't able to encode it and play it. I think it has to do with how the audio file is encoded into the video file because when I post just a video file (w/o the audio file), YouTube accepts it.

Please look at this sample file, and let me know what's wrong with it (why YouTube won't accept it).

It's mjpg/lpcm

You can open it with avidemux, and convert it to a format youtube accepts (e.g. x264/aac/mp4)

We're developing an encoding software, so it doesn't help us to open it up with another program and convert it.

Can someone look at the file and see if there's something wrong with the headers or any apparent errors in encoding?

You need something that can decode twos audio. You can do this through directshow + ffdshow, for example. Maybe if you provided some information on your application it would help

Can someone explain what "twos" audio is?

Our software program basically takes some images and encodes them with a wav audio file to make an mp4 file. I'm guessing that there might be some problem with our audio file we're trying to encode with the images, but I'm not sure how to tell.

He meant the PCM audio (track number 2).

I don't think LPCM in MP4 is very common, so some tools (like the Youtube video importer) may not support it. For better compatibility, encode the audio to AAC or MP3.

Yes, but because of:
