Lossless Codec - Distorted Image, Colors after uploading to Youtube / converting to mp4
Hi,
I can record a screencast with lossless codec and watch this on the same machine with VLC. When I convert the video (I tried free ipad video converter on same machine) to mp4 or if I upload the video to youtube the image is distorted (diagonally) and the colors are incorrect.
Here is an example:
I was not able to find a solution for the problem in this forum. Is this a known problem? It would be greatly appreceated if someone has a tipp if this is a bug or if I did something wrong.

YouTube converts all videos to an MPEG-4 format that requires that your width and height both be even numbered values. If you have an existing video with an odd-sized width or height, you can use VirtualDub's "Crop" effect to fix it, and then upload it to YouTube again.
I recommend strongly against using lossless codecs unless you are requiring archival quality, which most videos certainly do not require. You also are cutting down on how long a video you can create without crashing due to going over the 2-gigabyte size limit.
I'll make a video soon showing how to do the cropping in VirtualDub, but it is fairly straightforward.

I totally agree about VirtualDub being complex!
Sorry about the delay - I'll get a tutorial up today.

Here is the video on using VirtualDub to fix oversized AND skewed originals so they will upload to YouTube ok.
