Solution to Share MP4 on YouTube/Vimeo/Facebook

Online websites like YouTube/Vimeo/Facebook have been always played an important role in entertainment life. Minutes or hours can go by as you browse through videos uploaded by everyday people like you and me. If you are a movie amateur and have files in MP4 format, why not upload your MP4 movies online so as to make them visible by your friends and family?

Though YouTube/Vimeo/Facebook announced to upload MP4 files, sometime we still fail to upload MP4 online. Why? Here are two possible reasons:

Reason 1:

MP4 is a container format which is commonly used to store video and audio. The audio and video can be encoded in different ways but it still is an .mp4 file. However, YouTube/Vimeo/Facebook only accepts the MP4 file with the specific audio and video codec. That is why some of your MP4 files can upload online, while other MP4 videos can't.

Reason 2:

The MP4 file is too long or large to upload to YouTube/Vimeo/Facebook. As we konw, to share MP4 on YouTube, your uploaded videos are limited to 15 minutes long.

In this case, to successfully upload any MP4 to YouTube/Vimeo/Facebook, we had better compress and turn MP4 to web-compatible FLV/AVI video format. Though there are many Video Compressors, they either compress video in poor output quality or support few video formats. For example, I tried to convert my MP4 to .avi using Format Factory. The avi file was playing OK but then it goes in slow motion for 10 seconds or so and continues as normal again. This happens intermittently over the duration of the 15 minute .avi file. I've researched all over and people keep saying to use iFastime Video Converter Ultimate which is able to resolve the trouble effortlessly.
