Video format: AV1
AV1 is an open source video compression format called AOMedia Video 1. Since it is a codec in development as a successor standard to VP9, ​​it seems that VP9 videos will eventually be replaced by AV1, but it will take time to replace them because the only supported browsers currently are Chrome and Firefox. .

Postscript 2020/4/23: Confirmed to apply to some videos.
When applied, the DASH value will be as follows
av01.0.05M.08 (398) / opus (251)

DASH value Video size Video bitrate Comments
394 144p (256 × 144) is not clear Validated in Firefox
395 240p (426 × 240) is not clear Validated in Firefox
396 360p (640 × 360) is not clear Validated in Firefox
397 480p (854 x 480) is not clear Validated in Firefox
398 720p (1280 x 720) is not clear Validated in Firefox
399 1080p (1920 x 1080) is not clear Validated in Firefox
571 4320p (7680 × 4320) is not clear Validated in Firefox
Audio
Audio format: AAC-LC
DASH value Audio bit rate Cutoff frequency Comments
36 not clear not clear Can’t verify because iPhone 7 has no headphone output
18 96 Kbps 15 kHz Validated with Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 10
Twenty-two 128 Kbps 15.8 kHz Validated with Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 10
139 96 Kbps 15 kHz Validated with Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 10
140 128 Kbps 15.8 kHz Validated with Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 10
Same for AAC = 139 (96 Kbps) 18

Same for AAC = 140 (128 Kbps) 22

Audio format: Opus
Since the Opus audio bit rate is a variable bit rate (VBR), the average value is displayed. It will increase up to about 2 times.

DASH value Audio bit rate Cutoff frequency Comments
249 48 Kbps (VBR) 20 kHz Validated in Firefox
250 64 Kbps (VBR) 20 kHz Validated in Firefox
251 128 Kbps (VBR) 20 kHz Validated in Firefox
Opus = 249 (48 Kbps)

Opus = 250 (64 Kbps)

Opus = 251 (128 Kbps)

Postscript 2020/2/11: It looks like Opus audio was finally created for all users’ videos.

Please refer to the article linked above for how to upload in high quality.

To check after upload, right click on the video about a day after upload, click “Detailed Statistics” and check the value of “Codecs”.
At this time, be sure to use a browser other than “Safari”. Safari is not compatible with Opus.

Success story: Codecs vp09.00.51.08.01.01.01.01 (243) / opus (251)
Failure example: Codecs avc1.4d401e (134) /mp4a.40.2 (140)
The video / audio codecs are listed in order. (In this case, the video is vp9 (243), so it is 360p in WebM format, and the audio is Opus (251), so it is 128Kbps video in Opus format.)

Depending on the video, more than 30 videos can be generated in one video.

YOUTUBE SOUND QUALITY AND PICTURE QUALITY (AS OF JUNE 2021)

YOUTUBE SOUND QUALITY AND PICTURE QUALITY (AS OF JUNE 2021)

YouTube Audio

This time, I investigated the sound quality and image quality of “YouTube”.

youtube audio

HOW TO UPLOAD TO YOUTUBE WITH HIGH QUALITY SOUND

Basically YouTube uses “H.264 AAC-LC” or “Opus” as the audio codec.
The video codec used is “H.264” (MP4) or “VP9” (WebM). “AV1” is also used in some videos.

Verification method
(Video) Download the official video of “3D Youtube Downloader”, upload the video to “VLC Media Player” and refer to Media Information → Input Bit Rate in Statistics.
(Audio) Check the audio of the video downloaded by the above method using “foobar2000” for the bit rate. The cutoff frequency is converted to .wav format by “XMedia Recode”, and the file is imported into “WaveSpectra” and verified.

● PC
The PC version of YouTube ranges from 144p (320 x 180) to 4K (3860 x 2160), but there are differences in the image quality that can be selected and the audio that can be played depending on the browser.
You can check if your browser supports it on the next page.
YOUTUBE SUPPORT BROWSER

The following is the support status for each browser (browsers that support both VP9 and MP4 have the highest picture and sound quality).

Browser name PIN
Internet Explorer (Windows7) Not supported (not visible)
Incompatible iOS Safari
Internet Explorer (Windows 8.1 / 10) Only compatible with MP4 (not viewable)
Safari on Macintosh Only compatible with MP4
