Answer 2

Depends on your Internet connection. My videos used to take hours to upload, even super short ones, until we got a new wireless router and now they are a lot faster.

Answer 3

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

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"

Answer 4

How long it takes depends on how fast your internet speed is. The slower your connection is, the longer you'll have to wait.

Sometimes YouTube has a glitch, one time I uploaded a video and it was still processing after 6 hours! I found out that if that happens, I had to re-upload it.

Here's what you can do:

Wait a little bit longer, and if you're still waiting after an hour an a half, take it off and re-upload it.

OR

Take down the video, and change a bit things up, like shorten the size of the video and try to make it in really low quality. The lower the quality of the video, the less time you'll have to wait.

I have really fast internet connection so I don't have to wait long, but a few months ago I had dial-up (the slowest internet EVER) and I had to wait an hour for a 2 minute video to upload.

Sorry if this didn't help you.
