File Format Uploading Videos on Youtube.com?

Question

I have a program on my desktop that is called ArcShowBiz and I transferred a video from my camcorder to that and saved it and I tried uploading it to Youtube.com and it states invalid file format because it is in a SBZ format how can I change the format to one that youtube will accept and can I do it from youtube itself or do I have to go back into arcshowbiz program from my desktop. Because I don't have access to the videos right this second.

Answer 1

If you don't have access to the original, the program should at least have installed a codec in your system so that other applications (such as Windows Media and the like) can also play the file - if this is the case you should be able to re-publish the file through Windows Movie Maker. If not, have a look around for a program that can convert that file format - I'd be surprised if you couldn't find anything - or even a codec which WILL allow other applications to handle the file, so that again you can re-pulish with Movie Maker.


*EDIT*

Found this info from another ArcShowBiz user which should help you out:

"I have ArcSoft ShowBiz installed on my computer, and that file isn't a wmv, avi etc....It is a ShowBiz file.

For example, a .doc isn't a text file, it has text in it, but it still is not a plain text file. Same with .sbz isn't a media file, it has media in it, but it still is not a plain media file.

However, ShowBiz can save it as: AVI, MPG, EXE, WMV,and MOV"

Answer 2

Youtube will accept AVI, WMV, QT, MOV, SWF and a few others.

Hope this helps =)
