youtube legal help

ok so i dont really know where to post this on the forums so i decided to post where i know people who work on the game will look, and maybe someone not from SE can explain something to me.

ok so, i uploaded this video today of me doing the easy garuda questline and killing garuda easy mode. and for some reason that was claimed under the copyright of SE (not in the take down way, but in the notice way)

so the question i want answered is, why is it that this video is flagged under copyright notice for youtube but NONE of my patch videos/other ffxiv videos that i make come up with the same thing?

ffxiv patch video playlist(none of these have a copyright notice on youtube): http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list...ature=view_all

the video with the copyright notice: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qnIc...eature=mh_lolz

and just for the devs, if theres something in the garuda video that warrants it getting taken down by youtube, please let me know so i can take the video down and so i wont catch that on camera again to prevent problems like that in the future, thanks

its just so you can profit off it. but they wont make you take it down.

although it is weird they havent flagged the others if they flagged that one... maybe they hadnt seen them? :P

or maybe its the garuda song thats flagging something up?

You're best asking this to the youtube staff actually.

I know for a fact that sometimes videos are automatically flagged either by mistake or for whatever reason. Contact support and make sure you specify other accounts that produce the same type of content without hassles, there shouldn't be an issue at all.

My FRAPS files are huge.

What program are you using?

i use FRAPS aswell, but i use a program called handbreak to turn that video (was about 7 gigs) down to 394 MB, idk how it does it wthout losing quality but im not complaining :P

The music is being matched to third party content (Square Enix and Final Fantasy XIV). Happened on our video as well which sucks because we can't monetize it.

I do the same with Windows Movie Maker.

I've had issues with SE and XIV before. The main thing is the music, as there's a good possibility they're set to auto flag music uploads due to the alpha soundtrack being leaked years ago, youtube's auto flagger probably caught wind of your video due to the matching system.

While XIV is being overhauled, copyright notices are a bit touchy, as you can upload XI videos all day and not hear a peep from SE, Youtube or Computer Software etc (JP) flagging you. If your channel is partnered that's also a big reason why you'll be flagged.

You can't monetize any video game video unless its with a partner like Machinima or you have permission from the game company.

Lots of people "try" anyway and type BS junk in the "whats in this video" section. Some get through. But any game company can block or have a video removed for monetizing.

You can because our DH, Ifrit and Moogle videos for FFXIV are all monetized.
