i dont understand what the codec is sayin?

Youtube will always do conversation anyway. So if your converter/creator software has youtube preference, use it.

[.spider.]

Also YouTube uses video levels, if you upload a video with data level you'll get black and white crush.

 

Edit:

I just made a test and it doesn't seem to be true anymore, I am a bit surprised.

Progressive scan (no interlacing)

If you upload something recorded with an old camcorder which records interlaced you have to to deinterlacing before.

 

High Profile

Its the h.264 profile http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264/MPEG-4_AVC#Profiles

In almost all transcoders its directly selectable in the menu

 

2 consecutive B frames

Sometimes changeable in the advanced setting of a transcoder, maybe you will need the command line parameter --bframes 2 for x264

 

Closed GOP. GOP of half the frame rate

x264 standard is closed GOP since almost every transcoding software is using x264 don't bother.

GOP half frame rate in x264 would be --keyint x and important --scenecut 0 x=fps/2

 

CABAC

Automatically enabled with high profile

 

Variable bitrate

​Should be self explaining

 

 Chroma subsampling: 4:2:0

Automatically enabled with high profile

(except you are using an exotic encoder with 4:0:0 support)

 

 

 In fact I think it possible to upload everything to youtube
