Well im wanting to upload a 1.9 AVI clip and my broadband is fairly slow its about 3meg lol. so i tried uploading and it says 9 hours, is that right ?

[Special]

9 Hours seems alot.. mine is usually about 2 hours. Depends how long the vid is really.

It's estimated and is most likely wrong, Do you know what you should try, A broadband speed test it will tell you what your recieving.

Woah, your dl is a tad slow.
your upload speed is average,

As at peak on 20mb broadband I was hitting around 600kbps

Hmm Is your youtube vid still uploading?

[Stephen!]

How big is the file? 1.9 what? GB? If so, that's about the right time.

[GoldenMerc]

Ye, my internet is crap. i ordered virgin media, should be installed by second of october. which is 10 mb apparently.

[Stephen!]

Sorry to say, but the 10MB package has about the same upload speed as what you have now.

[GoldenMerc]

my internet disconnects like hell, plus im sure its a bit better.
Im uploading again now, i cancelled earlier. at night my connection gets moderately good.

[GoldenMerc]

Okay that didnt work lol, i thought there used to be a email address you could send them too?

My best opinion would be for you to compress the file. It's hard to believe that even a HD video lasting 10 minutes would be anything more than 700MB.

I beg to differ, he said its an AVI. AVI's even with compression are dire, might be worth transcoding the video into h.264 ready youtube (as they recommend).

Notice this raw AVI file of a game render I did is only 11 seconds long, but 3.2gb ^_^

He just needs to open it in movie maker and convert it to HD WMV. Job Done. Hardly any quality is lost.

I usually get about 2mb upload, I would show a speedtest but its saying I have 19mb download so I know its glitched.

[Xoim]

Speedtests are dependant on which server it comes from, Say you lived close to london and a server you were dling from was in london you would get close to top speeds slightly slower in peek times,

But yeah it depends on where the servers for speeds
Am I correct?

i sometimes have the same problem, but my speeds are farly good
