Last week I wrote about how Cycorder is a great application for recording videos with your iPhone. That was before I realized that I had a minor issue when uploading a video recorded with Cycorder to YouTube. The problem I was having is that when I played the video on YouTube, the audio track was covered by an awful sound.
I did some research that led me to think it was my anti-virus (Zone Lab) but it was not. By doing a little more research I found out that YouTube sometimes have problems with .mov videos. .mov is the output format for videos recorded with Cycorder. YouTube help section helped me understand that it was better to upload videos in .mp4 format.
So what did I do? I opened my favorite iPhone video converter – Cucusoft Video Converter. Cucusoft converts my .mov video into a .mp4 format which is:
- Compliant with YouTube prefered format
- A lighter video, cutting the size of any video in half
Using Cucusoft to convert my Cycorder video output into .mp4 not only cut my upload time of video on YouTube in half, but it also fixed the sound issue I had with Cycorder output format.
Here is a video that I recorded with Cycorder and uploaded to YouTube…. without any sound issue.
