    All of a sudden I have an urge to corrupt a video file and post it on YouTube.

    Anyone know a way to do this but still make it usable? (E.G. If a video is partially corrupted YouTube won't accept it)

    Thanks :)

    Hi

    Reopened thread as I got your explaination on its not corrupting the file but editing the video to look like its been corrupted by magnetism or age etc which maybe a video editing suite may have a filter for, not got off hand a good suggestion but someone may do in the meantime.


    My suggestion as I not done or needed video editing would have been Avid DV Free, bit not now available.

    Not exactly sure what type of effect your after, but if you trans-code the hell out of a video it would probably look "corrupted".

    edit: .....but still play ok.
