help with youtube

[bazz20]

after reading on this forum and seeing some nice video i thought i might put a camera on my bike today well i got some pleasing footage and would like to share but when i up load it does nothing just says this will take a few minutes ive made it an avi format so not to big does it take a long time or am i doing something wrong cheers bazz

[melvin]

it would also say that you can share this with friends and below should be a link. it usually takes a while before a footage becomes visible to others than the author. post the link you have and see what happens

Hey Bazz, where did you ride to?

Maybe if you put it up without saying, I can try to see if its familiar and guess.

[bazz20]

nope i just cant get it to upload 

[DosVerde]

Hey Bazz, How big is the .avi file and what speed internet connection to you have? Uploads will be a lot slower that downloads generally. For example, I have a 1.5Mb connection, but it only gives me 256k upload. Maybe you need to wait longer while it uploads.

Start it and then go for a ride..... [moto]

reduce file size to 144 mb left running all morning nothing task bar says waiting for youtube

[DosVerde]

144mb is pretty big. With my example above, it would nake me nearly 1 1/2 hours to upload that file if everything is running well. Any idea what speed your link is?

[bazz20]

no and thanks for your help , it says 54mbps, jeez thats the smallest i can reduce i think ill have to buy a cheep little camcorder if i want to post , pitty we couldent upload vid here, im running wireless so i no thats alot slower , pitty cose i got some great footage cheers bazz [moto]

Bazz I know bugger all about these things but can't you just break it up into bite-size (pun intended) chunks and multiple postings?

[bazz20]

ill will do lets see what happens

[DosVerde]

Yeah, Betty's onto it. Make a small vid, say 1 - 10mb and upload it just to make sure that works, then start getting bigger. If your curious about your link speed, try this,

http://www.ozspeedtest.com/ then click on the big red "Run Speed Test" button.

PM me the results if you wish. It still could be something else....
