Youtube is the most used platform for sharing video content online. Here are some tips how to bypass it if your videos are tagged to contain licenced material.

Fast Worldwide available Reliable Easy to use	Automated content management - videos may disappear without warning

Pay attention what message the system has generated for your video - audio or video is licensed.

Audio
If your clip contains licensed audio (mostly songs) you can do 2 things:

• Silence the licensed part using audio editor
  
• Speed increase of 5% or greater, using audio editor

Video
If your video is identified as licensed content there are still options you can do, which require you to use video editor.

• Change aspect ratio to 16:9
• Add logo or text as watermark on top of image
• Upload worse quality video
• Mirror the image vertically
  

The last option is tested, it works.(Yes, it does, but you will have to edit the audio as well - usually the system detects the audiostream and your efforts are screwed anyway) It will allow you to keep the quality and aspect ratio. The only drawback is if text is displayed, it will show as in mirror. If you want to be correct, you can edit this scene specifically to be as in the original. The only way I found of converting the video this way was using the mencoder program.
Example:
mencoder original.avi -oac copy -ovc xvid -xvidencopts bitrate=800 -vf mirror -o test.avi

This reconverts the input file, copying the audio and saving the video mirrored in xvid codec with acceptable quality.
