The Reasons Why Can't Upload MOV to YouTube?

Although YouTube announced it supports a long list of video formats including MOV, MP4, AVI, WMV, FLV, WebM, etc., in the actual use, when uploading MOV to YouTube, we were often confused by the message "The video has failed to process". Therefore, we can't help asking why we can't upload MOV to YouTube.

The reasons behind this strange issue are YouTube only supports videos with special codec. For instance, not all types of MOV files can be uploaded to YouTube, but only MOV files with H.264 and AAC audio codec can uploaded to YouTube.

Here lists the video formats supported by YouTube:

• MP4 and MOV: video codec-h.264, MPEG; audio codec-AAC
• AVI: video codec-MJPEG; audio codec-PCM-
• MPEGPS: video codec-MPEG 2; audio codec-MP2
• FLV: video codec-FLV1; audio codec-MP3
• Another reason is that YouTube only supports videos within 10 minutes or not longer than 15 minutes. So if your MOV file is compatible to YouTube, you should trim it or compress it.

• How do I successfully upload a quicktime .mov file to youtube? I've heard about converting the file to a different format such as mpeg, but every program I've seen is either a very limited free trial edition or I have to buy it. When I try uploading the file as it is on youtube, it stops about half way through and says error. I suspect it has something to do with the .mov format so if anyone knows how I can change the format or get it to upload I would be very appreciative.
