Summary: YouTube won't support your AVI files? Fix it now! Simply follow this article to upload AVI to YouTube with ease!
Though YouTube is the greatest video sharing website of the world and it claims to support AVI, there are still some problems when you want to upload AVI to YouTube like a note saying “YouTube doesn’t recognize AVI videos”. Don't worry about it! Let's have a look at how to upload and share AVI videos in YouTube without any problems.
Actually, AVI is a container format. The video and audio streams stored in different AVI files may be encoded in different ways. However, YouTube just only recognizes the specific way that the audio and video streams of AVI files are encoded in. So, if your AVI files can’t be accepted by YouTube, it may probably be the video & audio codec problem. What’s more, an AVI file bigger than 15 minutes won’t be loaded to YouTube.
So, how to upload these AVI files to YouTube? Well, it’s not as difficult as you think. You can quickly and easily do this job as long as you convert AVI to YouTube accepted formats with a professional tool. For this, I strongly recommend Brorsoft Video Converter, which enables you to convert AVI to FLV, MP4, MOV, etc for YouTube. If the file is too large for YouTube, this app also lets you split it for a smaller size.
Note: For those who wanna upload AVI files to YouTube on Mac, please turn to Brorsoft Video Converter for Mac. Here I offer you a simple way to convert and upload AVI movies to YouTube without any limit.
Step-by-step guide on converting AVI to YouTube friendly video
