yeah, i typically encode audio at 320kbps, so it's not _the highest_ i could do.  but 192kbps should still plenty high enough to preserve most of the high frequencies, right?

192kbps ain't that high quality brah.

hey, does anyone have any tips for uploading songs/videos to youtube without the audio getting totally humped in the face when processed?

i'd like to think my source videos are pretty high quality (720p, audio at 192kbps MP3, no audio distortion) but once the video's done uploading, the audio track seems like it gets completely ripped to shreds and what comes out sounds like it isn't any higher than 96kbps.   EVEN when i view the video in 720p or 1080p mode.

is there some secret magic video/audio encoding combination that survives the conversion process?  or some hidden youtube setting that i don't know about?

here's a video i just uploaded btw. the high frequencies are just totally messed up, especially through headphones. but i'm pretty sure there are lots of videos out there that don't have this problem.
