In a previous lifetime, I posted some of my machine work on youtube. Upload times are slow (despite having 15Mbps access) which is time consuming but, the big problem is that every crackpot with a keyboard and half a wit is able/willing to tell you what an idiot you are and how you don't know what you're doing... Most responses were pleasant and encouraging but the jerks were always a problem. I subsequently pulled all the videos...
If there was some way to keep it to just us, I'd consider it.

Not sure who you you were asking but... A 10 minute video took about 40 minutes to upload. I have 15Mbps fiber optic access at home. USB transfer from the flip-camera flas drive to the computer was a good 15-20 minutes. The bigger time consumer was stitching and transcoding all the individual videos into one big file. The software was combersome. I tried different "free" software packages but they were loaded with ad-ware and I suspect various forms of "legal spyware". After shooting the movies, I was spending 2-3 hours on all the other stuff. Could probably improve that a bit but haven't dug into it.

But the last video I uploaded took about a day. Granted it did fail the first time. But that long for a 12 minute video!!!??? I forget the speed I have but it is dsl. Actually pretty fast, at least to me. I maybe need to take some classes on it lol. I'm addicted to you tube ask the fiancée. I would love to upload more videos, but not taking that long. Ive wondered, Keith Fenner for example. His latest couple series of videos have been from 30 to 60 minutes long! I would rather watch them then tv, but I keep thinking of the upload times!!Thanks to everyone that uploads useful stuff to you tube. It's a great way to share knowledge!!Thanks,Chris

I'm pretty sure You Tube has both free and paid subscription types. The free membership lets you upload videos up to 15 minutes. It's possible the paid subscription gives you access to faster servers.

I am finding that a 15 minute video takes about 110 minutes to upload. If I have a couple to upload at one time I can start them before I go to bed and they are done when i get up.
As to the jerks who want to comment, you can make your channel privet or not allow comments and just have the ones in here respond in here if you like.
I am using the software that came with my camera to make the movies, it takes a couple of minutes to load to the computer and then a couple more to combine them into one, big time consumer is uploading to youtube.
