Upload Audio to YouTube

Post by admin »

Hey folks,

I need to upload an audio file (2 minutes) to YouTube. But they accept only videos. When I google this, I get hundreds of replies that try to sell some fat software to do the job. But I only have to do this once. Is there also a cool solution? BTW, I already know that I need some 1920 x 1080 graphic, and I already made one. Just need the conversion and the upload.

thanks,
Don

I guess some mkv format may help here.
From the Makemkv forum:

Code: Select all

I suspect that the issue is that MakeMKV is assuming that, since you're using Matroska video format file, you would want the video... :)
You can let MakeMKV create the MKV file, then use tools like mkvmerge to extract just the track(s) you want into your "final" file.

Started well, then stopped with error "Unknown encoder 'libx264'" (running on Win8.1).
