Answer 6

it depends on your connection speed and also the file size you're uploading... the smaller the file the faster you can upload...

It is recommended that you upload wmv file format... good quality and smaller size.. so faster upload... and also faster processing.

Using windows movie maker -- you have to save it into the proper file format, that is wmv file (use the "save movie file" on the menu at the top left) before upload..

--for best editing....

use windows movie maker (included in your windows machine)... it can help you make beautiful slideshow or video clip(e.g. mixing your songs with pictures/video/etc).... then save it as video file such as wmv file format... finally upload.

or .. Just get those clips you want , save & convert them, and then mix/match with pix/sound/etc using windows movie maker to create new masterpieces....

this will help you.... Use 'zillatube'. This is the easiest (and also the fastest) way.

Zillatube produces mpg/mp3 formats from youtube that are compatible with windows movie maker(or media player), and more.

It is very easy to download and convert videos. Then edit those converted mp3/mpg videos with windows movie maker... save your file as wmv and then upload.

It works very well....just google search for "zillatube"

Ages !   You are not doing it wrong.........keep going !!

Answer 8

My videos take about 5-10 minutes to upload fully!

There usually 6 minutes long approximately.

It depends on you're Net Connection,.. (i have Broadband,so it's quicker!)as a Dial up Connection can take forever!

The size of you're file is also a factor,the longer it is the more time it might take.

The other day i uploaded my latest vid,..and it was pretty quick,..but took at least a day to finish "processing",..when the oneI did before that processed in 10 minutes!

Maybe the site was busy,..i don't know,..but all you have to do is be patient,..i guess. ;)

Answer 9

It does take a long time to upload a file like that.

Even if your internet connection is a good speed, there's still the speed at YouTube's end that slows it down. But considering how many new videos are being uploaded very single second, it's amazing it works at all.

Answer 10

yeah, it takes a looooong time. i am not patient enough.

Answer 11

yeah well it normally depends on the size of it and how long it is. also make sure you saved it right or else it will have an error and you would've been waiting all this time for nothing.
