When I try to upload videos to YouTube®...?

Question

Sometimes, when I try to upload video's onto YouTube® it say's "uploading" and it stays like this for ages so I have no option but to abort the Upload, if anyone has any ideas of what's going on, please tell me, thank you!

Answer 1

Make sure that it is a a supportable file. To change what type of file it is use Windows Media Player to play it and the do "File" and then "Save As..." and then "NAME OF VIDEO.flv" because flv is a good supportable file for YouTube.

Answer 2

Ensure the file format is correct before uploading to youtube...

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 3

That also happened to me a lot of times before, it's probably better to not cancel the uploading, because you will only have to upload it again.

The key to this, is patience, the last time i tried to upload a video on youtube that happened again, but this time I didn't cancel the uploading, i left the computer and the internet turned on, and I went to see tv. After about 30 minutes (my video had about 80 megabytes,had about 5 minutes, and was in WMV format), i went to see the page, and it worked.

...As simple as that!

If this doesn't work for you, see if your video has the right conditions to be uploaded on youtube (limited to 10 minutes and 1024MB, etc..)

Other than that, I can't help you.

Answer 4

That's just normal, even if it's a small file. Just leave it alone.

Answer 5

It sometimes takes a while,..or there might be a problem on the site,...or it could be something to do with the format you're Video is saved in that's why it's not working properly.

To Upload to YT it needs to be in WMA.

Here's how you do it.

Finish editing Movie in "Windows Media Maker"

Click: File

"Save Movie File"

My Computer

Next

Give it a File Name (Save in Video Folder)

Other Settings

Click Video for Broadband( 512 kbps)

Next

Click Play Movies Box(Optional!)

Finish! ;)

Now Upload Video To You Tube by clicking the yellow Upload Button on you're Profile and follow on-screen instructions.
