YouTube..help needed!
 

Have been trying to upload a video to YouTube .. it's telling me to be patient as the process may take several minutes..it's been showing that message for well over 2 hours now:mad:

Do I leave it going in the hope that it will upload eventually or should it be finshed by now? The .avi size is around 570,000KB..

TBH i am winging what I am doing as I have never done this before so advice would be greatly appreciated:thumb:

Is it over 10 mins long?

nope, only 2mins 46 secs...

it's still telling me to be patient..:mad:

apparrently they can take up to 24hours to upload... not for a 2min video surely??????:eek:

Dunno if this is right or not, but if you are uploading at 50k per second, thats 3000k per minute.
570,000k would take 190 minutes.

570,000KB for under 3 mins video? Are you sure? Thats over 550Mb :eek:

I shut it down after 3 hours and went to bed.

trying again now in a different file format :mad:

It's now 170mb..my other half looked at it for me... so it should upload slightly quicker but will stick take bleddy forever..:lol1:

What's your tinterweb speed?

If your on 2meg/bit your upload speed may only be 500k/bits (per second)...and 570,000kilobytes is 4,560,000 kilobits. So it "should" take 2.5 hours.

But on youtube...double it (busy servers, low bandwitdth etc.)!

tinterweb is pretty quick.. i can't remember how fast though:lol1:

the bleddy thing has finished uploading - finally! and now it's started on the processing...:sleep:

Mind 170meg is still foofing huge for a 3minute clip...I've downloaded 30min TV programs that are no bigger in size! :D

It doesn't matter how long it has taken, more importantly is, do we want to watch it :p

what video is it?

shouldnt take that long

do the smart thing and compress it or bang it in divx.... makes it very small then with no real loss of quality for youtube purposes.

I had a similar problem last week with a video which was only 6 mins long

I eventually gave up

It's all done - uploaded, processed the while sheebang:luxhello:

Only took foof knows how long to get it on there:lol1:

Hopefully it will be worth it... it's to win a competition for some tickets... keep your fingers crossed....

we need the linkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

only if you are going to be nice and rate me highly:D

I am firm but fair..... if it is good I will say so... if it is absolute toss I will say so (on youtube..... so you cant infract me hahahahaha)

:lol1: Right well you'll have to take a couple of things into consideration then

1) i have never ever done anything like this before
2) my town isn't exactly a bustling cosmopolitan
3) You may not like the reason why I have done it, but I am a huge huge fan and want to win (highly unlikely but I can but try!!)

now be nice, please!;)

I've just seen your comment.. git!:lol1:

hmm no infraction button, but i shant forget;)
