During the most special and happy family days of the year,  what have you done to enjoy this amazing Christmas and New Year holiday? Have  you held a party with your big family and friends, or traveled around some  attractive places with your lovers and kids, or done something else you were  looking forward to for a long time? Whatever you did, you must have not forgotten  recording all the meaningful and unforgettable moments as precious memories via  a Canon, Sony, or Pansonic AVCHD camcorder. Then it is a good idea to upload  these charming things shot by your camera onto YouTube for sharing with everyone  else in the world.

However, if you have this thought, you should know that AVCHD  camcorders save footages in the format of MTS and M2TS, which are out of the  range of YouTube supported formats, they are .FLV, .MKV, .MOV, .WMV, .AVI,  MPEG, .MP4, DivX, 3GP and .OGG, therefore, in order to upload MTS and M2TS  video files onto YouTube successfully, you have to convert these files to  YouTube compatible formats as above mentioned previously.

At the same time, one more thing you must notice, that is  video files uploaded to YouTube by standard accounts are limited to 10 minutes  in length and 2 GB in size and only partner account holders are permitted to  upload videos longer than 10 minutes. That means you should compress the length  and size of your footages to fit the two requirements. Don’t worry,the following part will show you how to upload camcorder footages onto YouTube via Pavtube HD Video  Converter in  detail, just feel free to go through with it.

First, how to make great video:
1. Choose a camcorder to suit your needs;
The following has listed some camcorders for you, according to your needs, choose the most suitable one:
Mini DV camcorders are cheap, reliable, and widely compatible, shooting standard-definition video;
Mini DVD camcorders can shoot video with lower-quality than Mini DV camcorders and play back video instantly on it or a DVD player. The produced video is more difficult to edit.
AVCHD camcorders have ability to produce high-definition video, with high price and the hard-to-edit shot video.
Flip Video Camcorders are portable, easy-to-use solution for capturing everyday moments that happen anywhere, and sharing them with family and friends everywhere
If It was me, I would choose an AVCHD camcorder or flip video camcorder.

2. Shoot video with your chosen camcorder
Before shooting, you can refer to some basic camcorder shooting tips: http://camcorders.about.com/od/videorecordingtips/a/ShootingTips.htm. Well prepared, you can shoot your video with your camcorder.

3. Perfect your capturing video
After you capture videos, you can perfect them with some video editing software. The best recommended ones are iMovie, FCE and FCP. But if you are unsatisfactory with them and own flip video, there is another great flip video editing software,Pavtube HD Video Converter for MAC, which can easily edit your flip video on mac.

Second, Where to place or share these videos
Youtube is the first choice to share home videos for most people. Youtube accepts a wide range of video formats, as following: Windows Media Video (.WMV), .3GP (Cell Phones), .AVI (Windows), .MOV (mac), .MP4 (iPod/PSP), .MPEG, .FLV (Adobe Flash), .SWF (Shockwave Flash), .MKV (h.264). Please check the format before you upload your camcorder video to youtube for share.
