I have some videos in AVI format which are captured by my camera. And I can't upload them to YouTube. How do I fix this?
Have many AVI files either captured by your camcorders or downloaded from the web and want to upload them to YouTube? If you have tried, you might have found that it is not so easy to achieve your goal. Normally, YouTube accepts FLV, MOV, or MP4 files. Some AVI videos are supported, too. But due to its big size, AVI files are not so suitable to be upload to YouTube.
To upload the AVI files easily and quickly to the web, you need to convert AVI to YouTube compatible formats for Mac. And this article here tells you how to convert AVI to YouTube for Mac (Mac OS X Lion included) by using the iMedia Converter Mac. It is an easy-to-use app, which can help you achieve your goal quickly and perfectly.
Load AVI files to the AVI to YouTube Mac app
Directly drag and drop AVI files to the app. Or you can go to the "File" menu, choose "Add Video Files". Batch conversion is available, so you can add more than one files to that app at one time.

Choose the output format
The Mac program gives you two default settings:
If you just convert the AVI videos to YouTube compatible files and don't want to upload them to the web immediately, go to the format drop-down list, choose the "YouTube">"MPEG-4";
If you want to do the conversion and upload task right now, go to the format drop-down list, choose the "YouTube">"Convert and Upload to YouTube".

Then a box could appear, asking you to fill in the information about the video files and your YouTube account. Just do as the box asks you to do. After that, click "Done".

Before you do the conversion, you can briefly beautify your videos on the app. You can trim the giant file into several segments. Or merge several clips into one file. Moreover, you can also add either text or image watermark to personalize your videos. Changing video effect is available as well.
