Earlier I posted how youtube changed how they handled mp4 files, which resulted in my video not being classified as High Quality. When Youtube classified the video differently, they made it have a horribly low framerate which was very noticable. After some tinkering around, I found that by simply re-encoding the video at the same resolution and framerate with ffmpeg youtube sees it as High Quality after I upload it. ffmpeg is doing something, but I have no idea what…
ffmpeg Instructions for Linux (I’m assuming you have installed ffmpeg already):
ffmpeg -r 30 -sameq -ar 44100 -ab 128 -i originalFile.mp4 -y outputFile.mp4
ffmpeg Instructions for Windows:
Sorry… no instructions at this time. I would like to provide them and may update this when I have a chance.

For windows should be the same, just get a ffmpeg build.
