Tons of thanks.
YouTube also has very strict requirements for music, video and movie uploading, in terms of file size, duration, resolution, codec, frame rate and bitrate. What are YouTube friendly video types? The formats of videos downloaded from YouTube are MP4, FLV, Webm, etc. Then what video formats are supported and accepted by YouTube for uploading and editing?
YouTube supported video formats and file extensions:
MOV (.mov), 3GP (.3gp, .3g2, .3gpp), MPEG-4 (.mp4), FLV (.flv), AVI (.avi), MPEGS (.mpg), WMV (.wmv), WebM (.webm)
From what have been listed above, we may roughly draw the conclusion that TOD files are incompatible with YouTube. You need a simple program to convert the .Tod file to most commonly used format like mpg, avi, wmv, flv, mp4, etc. For this point, i would suggest using MP4 for uploading to YouTube. MP4 overlaps all the advantages with small file size, high compression rate (for high quality) and popularity. MP4 includes two video Codecs, namely, MPEG4 and H.264, which are both widely supported, together with AAC (2 Channel - 8 Channel) and MP3 as audio Codec. So it is the most recommended YouTube upload video format.
You need a simple program to convert the .Tod file to MP4.
