Just how long does it take to upload a frikkin video?

Have a live 4 minute clip of J.Smith from Cois Fharraige which is class, and i want ye to see it. Theres lots of dougie and andy chemistry going on.

I have dial up so thats a no go option, went into my local internet cafe, was there a half an hour waiting for the clip to upload and they have broadband in town.

This is my 2nd attempt at uploading videos with broadband.
I don't have all day to hang around an internet cafe grrr

Whats the deal?!?!

Well, sometimes YouTube is weird. When I was uploading my Flat Travis video, I left it going ALL NIGHT and it still said it was uploading. I opened another window to look at my YouTube account, and lo and behold, it was there, safe and sound waiting for me. I just clicked out of the endless processing spiral of death and went on with my life.

lmao!!!

Oh god, towards the end of my patience uploading the video i did nothing else but stare at the swirls going round and round. Think the owner thought i was demented.

I'll give it one more go tomorrow or the day after. If they see me in there again on staring at the swirls they will think im bananas.

the processing after it finishes uploading is annoying! The first time i ever uploaded something to youtube i thought it vanished or that i did it wrong. turns out..it was just processing.

Yes, I'm on a Mac. My husband is a graphic designer, so it goes with the territory. At first I had a hard time adjusting, but it's grown on me.

The world needs more Mac using, Travis listening, baseball and hockey (Tigers & Wings) Fans!! ;-)

Nice 'Flat Travis' video. Love it! I have added it as a favourite to my channel...

I am a Mac user too and I try and keep my videos to a small size (YouTube recommends that your clips are less than 10 mins)

Cheers

Andy
