Once you see what it can do and not do, then you can decide if you want to buy software. If it is not on your computer, you can get it here. There are some pretty good tutorials. BTW, there is a free trial of V9 listed on these boards. Before you try it, make sure your computer meets or exceeds the system requirements. As Larry asked, you may be limited as to what you can do with the edited video using WMM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdanteek Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Youtube has requirements, a certain size and format the video has to be in. So yes, if you don't have that on the pc you would need to get software to comply with the youtube requirements! cd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malatekid Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 I found this on a Google search; don't know the veracity of the info though. YouTube video requirements and recommendations YouTube accepts video files from most newer digital cameras, camcorders, and cell phones in either an .AVI, .MOV, or .MPG file format. According to their site, videos saved with the following settings convert and display the best: MPEG4 (Divx, Xvid) format 320x240 resolution MP3 audio 30 FPS There is no limit to the number of videos you can upload, but there is a file size limit of 100MB for "Standard" account members. Videos can be up to 10 minutes long. If you have a Director's Account, you can upload longer videos. The YouTube Director program is especially for musicians, amateur filmmakers, videobloggers, or professional content producers. YouTube asks that you not upload "copyrighted, obscene or any other material which violates YouTube's Terms of Use." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
