How long does it usually take a video to process on Youtube?

Question

I just uploaded 2 videos. One is around 30 seconds long and the other is around a minute. They are flv files. I had one that was flv and it was 3:00 long and it processed way faster then these. I have been waiting for an hour now. What's up with this? How should I fix it? Thanks!

Answer 1

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"

it happens sometimes....just close the window, open it again and start over. it should take from like 5-10 minutes usually.  

Answer 3

umm well it has to be a .wmv file so if you made it on WMM (windows movie maker)

then publish it by pressing FILE PUBLISH MOVIE and publish it to your computer

then save it

and try to upload it

hope that helps :)
