<p>The specs of the camcorder Sony HDR CX455 states that it can record videos in the following formats:</p>

<p>1920 x 1080p at 24/30/60 fps (50 Mb/s XAVC S)</p>

<p>1440 x 1080i at 60 fps (5 Mb/s AVCHD)</p>

<p>1280 x 720p at 30 fps (3 Mb/s MP4)</p>

<p>It also says that "<strong>The HDR-CX455 records 4K and HD movies in the XAVC S format, which uses MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 for video compression and linear PCM for audio compression, while saving files in a MP4 wrapper which allows for extensive record times and easy editing. Additionally, you can chose to record HD in AVCHD (ideal for HDTV and Blu-ray disc burning) or MP4 (ideal for sharing over the internet).</strong>"</p>

<p>(Please note the part in the paragraph above that says "<strong>MPEG-4</strong>")</p>

<p>Now, unless I am mistaken, YouTube does not take the format <strong>XAVC S</strong> and <strong>AVCHD</strong>. Instead, YouTube does take the <strong>MP4</strong> format.</p>

<p>But, I don't want to use the format MP4 at 1280 x 720p, which is a low resolution.</p>

<p>If I use this camcorder, can I record videos in the <strong>MP4 format at 1920 x 1080i</strong> so that I can load the videos to YouTube ?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

# Can camcorder Sony HDR CX455 record videos in MP4 at 1920 x 1080i to be uploaded to YouTube?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2018-06-11)

The specs of the camcorder Sony HDR CX455 states that it can record videos in the following formats:

1920 x 1080p at 24/30/60 fps (50 Mb/s XAVC S)

1440 x 1080i at 60 fps (5 Mb/s AVCHD)

1280 x 720p at 30 fps (3 Mb/s MP4)

It also says that "**The HDR-CX455 records 4K and HD movies in the XAVC S format, which uses MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 for video compression and linear PCM for audio compression, while saving files in a MP4 wrapper which allows for extensive record times and easy editing. Additionally, you can chose to record HD in AVCHD (ideal for HDTV and Blu-ray disc burning) or MP4 (ideal for sharing over the internet).**"

(Please note the part in the paragraph above that says "**MPEG-4**")

Now, unless I am mistaken, YouTube does not take the format **XAVC S** and **AVCHD**. Instead, YouTube does take the **MP4** format.

But, I don't want to use the format MP4 at 1280 x 720p, which is a low resolution.

If I use this camcorder, can I record videos in the **MP4 format at 1920 x 1080i** so that I can load the videos to YouTube ?

Thanks.
