YouTube is one of the most eminent video sharing websites where you may find almost anything and everything in a video format. It is equally beneficial for people from all walks of life. You can freely stream, watch, upload the videos. But sometimes, you must have noticed that while you try for uploading a video, you come across a variety of troubles that end in a restricted or unsuccessful fsile uploading. But many people still encounter the MP4 to Youtube uploading issue. In fact, the reason why people can’t upload MP4 to YouTube is actually quite explainable. MP4 is a container format that can store multiple video, audio and subtitle data, etc, while YouTube is only compatible with MPEG-4/H.264 video and AAC audio. When the iPhone/iPad MP4 video that you want to upload contains YouTube unsupported codecs, YouTube will reject your video file. 

Look at the YouTube Supported Formats: 

• WebM files (Vp8 video codec and Vorbis Audio codec)
• MPEG4, 3GPP and MOV files – (typically supporting h264 and mpeg4 video codecs and AAC audio codec)
• AVI (Many cameras output this format – typically the video codec is MJPEG and audio is PCM)
• MPEGPS (Typically supporting MPEG2 video codec and MP2 audio)
• WMV
• MP4
• FLV (Adobe – FLV1 video codec, MP3 audio)

Note: MP4 is suggested by YouTube as the best video format which can produce the best video quality and can easily meet YouTube upload size limit. 

Besides this, YouTube also has 4 more other limitations. 

1. Uploaded file size: up to 2 GB for standard accounts. 

2. Uploaded file length: up to 10 minutes for standard accounts, and longer than 10 minutes for partner accounts.

As for the bitrate, as there are not that strict YouTube video upload limit on it, you can focus more on the YouTube video format, YouTube vidoe size, resolution, length limits etc.
