Don't upload content with fansubs and try to keep the video resolution the same aspect ratio as the original (4:3 & 16:9).

A few other things to note:

• webm is natively supported on Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Opera. Other browsers will require 3rd party addons.
• This one is obvious but, don't upload entire episodes of shows.
• When uploading cuts, try and split them up and not just upload 1 minute long segments that include stills and pans.
• Do not make video files larger than 480p in resolution, we want to have content viewable on most screens.
• Try to keep the bitrate high, we don't want videos with compression artefacts. It may take a bit of experimentation to find the right balance.
• Most importantly, strip the audio & subtitles from your file since we don't allow webm videos with audio (or subs) in them.
• Currently the booru only supports the vp8 codec for webm files.

Uploading mp4/webm is mandatory.

04/05/2014 Update: We now support the mp4 container. Much like webm, files uploaded with audio will be denied. Same rules as above apply. And while not mandatory, here's an easy tool for newbies to encode their mp4 files for the booru.

• For now we only support mp4 files encoded with the 8bit h264 codec. Sorry 10bit.

When encoding your clips keep the following in mind:

=For 16:9 video=
Keep the resolution round 848~854x480. Resolutions that are effectively wider can get away with a larger resolution while still sticking to 480 pixels of height, because enough users misunderstood (or were very cheeky about) the 480p indications so now it's just something we've already accepted. Your win, users.

=For 4:3 video=
Keep the resolution around 640x480.

Try and avoid uploading videos with pixellation and lossy encoding issues.
