Problem Uploading to Youtube

[hughgogirl]

I've been having an issue uploading a video to my youtube account. I've searched many different sets of instructions for what to do, but I'm having not luck. I published my video as a .wmv file, and it seems that the video does not seem to be compressed, but when I try to upload the video, I immediately receive a youtube error with no explanation. Help, please? Thanks!

Are you having issues uploading anything else to youtube?

youtube prefers h264 with aac or mp3 audio .mp4s, under 10 minutes, and under 2GB

wmv is a compressed format, but if made properly youtube should accept it.

I've uploaded videos to youtube before, but I always have a little difficulty. It seems there's always one step I forget but then finally discover and it works. This time I just don't know what is wrong.

more info is needed at this point to provide help. start with what is your source video (mediainfo in text mode - copy and paste here) what are you editing/encoding with and to what format at what settings. then use mediainfo on the output video and paste it's info here too.

the exact error message from youtube might help also.
