DXG Technology, The Digital Camera Company

HD (1280 x 720) | 16:9 ratio | 1080P
D1 (720 x 480) | 4:3 ratio | 30fps
CIF (352 x 240) | 4:3 ratio | Up to 30fps

These specs may not be of your camera. Check your model's specs.

YouTube accepts videos uploaded in most container formats, including .AVI, .MKV, .MOV, .MP4, DivX, .FLV, and .ogg and .ogv. These include video formats such as MPEG-4, MPEG, and .WMV. It also supports 3GP, allowing videos to be uploaded from legacy mobile phones.

Since March 2008, YouTube videos have been available in a range of quality levels, with the higher quality levels offering improved picture definition. In November 2008 720p HD support was added. At the same time, the YouTube player was changed from a 4:3 aspect ratio to a widescreen 16:9. In November 2009, 1080p HD support was added. YouTube videos currently use the H.264/MPEG-4 AVC format, with stereo AAC audio.
