General discussion / Achieving HD quality on youtube

DelugeOfSound [Moderator] -
So i've gotten the "Congratulations! Your account is now enabled for uploads longer than 15 minutes. Click the Upload button below to select a video. ". Supposed to be thanks to your channel being somewhat popular  8-).

My channel consists of mostly my sets. I have the audio recording, i add an image to it using camtasia studio or windows movie maker and then i export it as a video. What you get is my logo whilst hearing my music, pretty simple.

Now i wanted to achieve 720p (HD) quality for my videos, since it improves sound quality as well. In camtasia, theres a load of options on how to export your videos. Many different file types as well as resolutions etc etc. Since i can now upload unlimited time and i don't have to cut my mixes up anymore, i will be mostly making videos from 30 to 120 minutes.

After this ridiculously long intro:

How do i achieve HD quality videos with the best sound quality but the lowest amount of megabytes since im still limited to 2GB per video?

I dont really care how sharp my logo looks, i just want the sound to be the best possible. Any pointers on good file types, resolutions etc etc are appreciated.

Je snapt het niet. Youtube downgrade 320 kbps sowieso. De mate waarin ze dat doen hangt af van de kwaliteit die ze toekennen aan je video. In 720p valt het reuze mee, in 360p is de kwaliteit ronduit kut.
Ik zoek daarom een filetype+resolutie waardoor youtube 720p toekent aan je video, maar waarbij het aantal megabyte dat zo'n bestand inneemt zo laag mogelijk is ivm render-tijd en het maximum dat youtube stelt aan megabytes.
