YouTube not uploading my videos?

[Nintendo Fan]

Everytime I upload a video that was converted to .avi from .mov with SUPER, and has XviD in it, a high bit rate (like 5280 kbps, and 320 audio kbps), or a file size that's over 100 MB, YouTube starts uploading the video, but then I come back hours later to find it's still uploading. It should never take that long for a file that's merely 168 MB.

VirtualDub doesn't even work either. It still wont upload it. But with my smaller files that have a low bit rate seem to upload fine.

I also tried putting the .avi in WMM and exporting it as a DV~AVI which someone on these forums told me to do in one of my other topics, but the DV~AVI file is always near 1 GB, and that wont upload to YouTube either.

Can anyone help me out? Thx.

Sometimes when I upload videos it stays on the uploading screen even after the video is uploaded. Did you check the my videos tab under your account name to see if it finished?

No but I found out it was because YouTube's three uploaders take turns malfunctioning, so that's y it seemed to never upload my vids. So this topic's no use anymore cuz I solved my problem.

I just deleted one of my vids too. Uploaded it yesterday and it never processed.....just hung in limbo for 12 hours.

Try using the beta uploader cuz that has a progress bar so u can actually see where ur video is at in proccessing, plus it has worked for me recently.

The beta uploader kicks ass. I hated not knowing how much longer it would take to upload.

Omg I know, wasn't it annoying? And a long time ago, when they only had one uploader (their first one ever), that had a progress bar. I wonder why they took it off, but then made a beta with one?

And also u can try their Bulk PlugIn which allows u to upload tons of files at once, and it doesn't have a progress bar, but it shows what percent the video is at and increases. Only thing that sucks about the Bulk PlugIn is that u can't edit ur video descriptions or tags or anything for some reason. It'll just place the letter at the end of the thing, so u'd have to delete ur whole description and start all over again, so be really careful.

I just re-uploaded it later. No biggie.

Thought I'd post here rather than start another topic - I made a film which I had converted from VHS to DVD. I wanted to post it on youtube and got this response from them.
"Thanks for your email! There are far too many variables in that kind of
conversion for me to be able to give you exact directions. I would
recommend searching around on the web for things like "DVD to AVI". You
should find a number of websites with good information and walkthroughs to
get you started. We recommend the MPEG4 (Divx, Xvid, SQV3) format at
320x240 resolution with MP3 audio. Resizing your video to these
specifications before uploading will help your clips look better on
YouTube."
Anyone know the best program again for this and do utube still have a limit on how long your videos can be? Mine's 1/2 an hour so may need to split it. A definitive answer would make my day.
