What kind of videos does YouTube allow for upload?

Question

I'm trying to upload a .wmv file, but it's been sitting for about 20 minutes on the upload screen... it's only a 2:45 video and hasn't changed screens.

Answer 1

don't worry youtube is getting more and more annoying recently, I had a 3 minute video and it took like 2 hours, I just left it when I went out but it was done by the time I got home so try that! :P

Answer 2

they accept FLV for sure since the output is flv. you can find "wmv to flv" converters which allow you convert videos. what out for demo one's which will convert your video and only take the first minutes only.  

Answer 3

youtube accepts file not exceeding 100 MB and 10 minutes, and...

youtube only accepts certain video format.

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..

The WMV file will be smaller in size but still quite good quality.. so uploading it will be faster.

--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

I believe it lets you upload any type of video file, but if it doesn't, just convert it to .avi as I always do and it uploads fine.

Just a few questions;

1. What type of internet do you have?

2. What is your upload speed?
