Can anyone tell me if it's possible to output in a format that can be uploaded to You Tube? Any and all information on this subject will be appreciated.

The only thing I can think of is using something like camstudio (free) to screen video capture your tour...?

YouTube (by Google) suggests the best format is .mpeg4 format which is what H2.64 is. Though I do not know off the top of my head if the Codec version used by Tourweaver will directly be up-loadable to YouTube. (I just tried to test it but the YouTube site is under maintenance).
Anyway, output your movie file in H2.64 format from Tourweaver after you have written your own movie track path. Attempt to upload this H2.64 AVI file to YouTube. If it fails, convert the file using Windows Movie Maker into .mpeg4 format with the aid of ffdshow-Tryout at 30 frames per second and then upload.
Shouldn't be any harder than that really.
Regards, Smooth

I went back and loaded the movie into Windows Movie Maker, added music and saved as .wmv. This also uploaded to YouTube with no problems. The quality is still poor but it's up there. The quality was fine before outputing to video. Any suggestions on how to improve the quality for YouTube postings? Here is the link to YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ow6Ct2HdCKs

Hi Jerry,
Mate, I viewed your tour from start to finish and it was quite good. Of course the display quality was poor but you cannot do anything about this as YouTube re-compresses the video to their "default". I tried last night by uploading a 8mb videoramic tour and the exact same tour in HQ 98MB and the end result once YouTube does it thing is the exact same crap poor quality movie. So all you can do is use it for what it's worth.
Thoughts:
- Add a still image slide in the movie suggesting to view the video in higher quality at your own URL.
- Do more then just basic pans around a room by adding some tilt up/down or zoom.
- I felt you FOV was not natural and rooms looked distorted (though did give an impression of the rooms being larger)
- Music was fine except the obvious end-start. Better to overlap the audio tracks with some fade. Though I realise this is your very first one and purely a tester.
Still, it's all progress and one step over the opposition.
Regards, Smooth

Yeah I agree with Smooth..YouTube just reduces the video quality down to their necessary size, therefore camstudio wouldn't do much either as it would still be reduced in quality. Maybe its value is more as a taster and an advertising tool - taking people into the proper URL - than as a tour option in itself. One cool thing about it is that you can use it as an infomercial for your product and embed the YouTube video right into your webpage.

Thanks for the comments and advice. I will be using this as just another avenue to advertise my real estate. I believe I will be able to add links in the right hand side information section. With today's market we have to think outside the box. I can also make a movie in Windows Movie Maker out of stills, I'll see if this will give better quality. I tried CamStudio and it will be good for making tutorials. Is that what you will be using Smooth for your new tutorials?

I use Capture Cam Pro for tutorials or Flash Demo Builder
But could just as well use Jing or Wink
