Video/YouTube

[Dranreb]

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.

The option to upload longer video is free as long as your account is deemed to be in good standing.

You can upload a video to YouTube but keep it viewable only to people with the link, you just click 'unlisted' when uploading, or later in 'Video Manager' I find it works Ok, but even if the link was posted here in a members only area, there would be nothing to stop members copying it and posting it else where.

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.

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.

Some video editors have an optimize for YouTube setting, this saves upload time, as YT does not have to do so much work.

Can you recommend any? I wish I could get a 15 minute video down to 110 minutes to upload. I would upload more lol. I need to check my speed on my Internet.

Movie maker takes forever to upload to youtube and even to compile on your PC. I use Corel Video Studio. It works real well, is decently fast to upload to youtube compared to WMM and is definately faster to compile. Youtube upload speed also depends on time of day and how many people are uploading at the same time.

I just uploaded a Let's Play video for a game that was about 40 mins + with 1.5 mbs upload speed that took me about 4 hours to upload. It helps if you format it to youtube's standards first, because it originally taken it about 6 weeks from pure video file.
