Help with Youtube uploading issue...

March 12, 2009 - 12:50am — celticmystress
Grrr..

This is quite strange because the video with Mystress took FOREVER to upload, this next video took like five seconds, literally-- and the strange thing is-- this video is about twice as long as Myst's! When it says "Sucess!" I check to see if it's there and it said it failed to convert the video file....?

Help plox?

edit: Sorry for the bump.. It says "Uploaded: Processing please wait..." Eeee! Please work!
edit: UGH! Nvm... I'll figure this out. Sorry again...

I've saved them in every

I've saved them in every freakin' folder I got... And I also clicked "File" Then "Save to my computer"-- and I can't find it after it uploads after like 14 minutes... I gives me the option to "View after I click Finish" and I did. It looked very nice, but youtube still wont take it.

I'm using Windows Movie Maker....

Thanks
Idk why this is so hard! The other one uploaded just fine!

hmmmm.......*kicks

hmmmm.......*kicks Youtube*....honestly, this baffles me. It may just be Youtube being a stupid little arse, and you may just have to wait for tomorrow and see if that works. The only other thing I can think of, is that Youtube makes you go through this waiting period after you upload your video, and you can't watch it at all until it's been processed, but that is fairly routine and that couldn't be it :/

I stopped using WMM a while back, it was very glitchy, but I remember the saving process and I know what you are talking about.

I can fiddle around with it tomorrow and see what happens.

Don't worry Myst, we'll fix this C:<

Thanks for being there, yeah

Thanks for being there, yeah I'll wait until tomorrow... It really makes me mad though, because I really really like this video... *breaks Youtube in half*

WMM was glitchy? In what way? I found it to be pretty good, and if I ever have this problem again I will find another movie-editing program that's free...

goshdang it.
Thanks so much!

edit here's what they said to do....

To convert most any video format to one of the aforementioned accepted formats it is reccommended you use FFMPEG. FFMPEG is a command-line tool, so newer users may like to use the free tool, SUPER, which can be found at http://www.erightsoft.org/. If you do not produce acceptable results with these tools, you may also try the commercial software, Magic Video Converter [ http://www.magic-video-software.com/magic_video_converter/index.html ].

That's great guys but my other video didn't need all this horse.

Windows Movie Maker, by default saves projects as .MSWMM files. These file are project files, which means it only tells Windows Movie Maker the layout of your video and does not contain the final video itself, and because of this, YouTube does not accept .MSWMM files. To upload your Windows Movie Maker video to YouTube, select the "Save to My Computer" option to save the file and upload the generated file.

I did everything there too... I even waited fourteen minutes for the freaking thing to load, and when it saved itself ( in My Computer? I think not!) I couldn't find the damn thing to upload it! I watched the video when it was all done saving itself, and it was amzing, I just couldn't find it after!!

Sad Hope that clears things up a bit because after I read what I had told you it was really hard to picture in my mind as to what I did....

I don't know what it is,

I don't know what it is, because for awhile WMM worked great, but then it started to crash every few minutes, or just wouldn't do what I told it to. Quite a few other people have the same problem.
But good on you for it working, you don't have to fight the bugger X3

is the video buried in a My Videos sub-folder? Or in Recent Documents? Sometimes they like to lurk in there. Or, under the start menu, go to search, and type in the name of the file and it might show you where it is. Then you can just drag it to the desktop temporarily so that you can see it.

Youtube can be quite the pain in the arse, but don't worry, I'll do whatever I can. Tomorrow is Friday, so I'll have more time to fiddle with it. If this doesn't fix itself by then, I can make a quick video and upload it to see what happens. Lord knows I haven't be keeping up with my videos XD

Ahhh you are a god! Thanks

Ahhh you are a god! Thanks so much for all your help, it's uploading now, and is actually taking its time like the other video. I ran the search to find the stupid thing and found it, sent it to my documents and viola!! Thanks so much for your help I couldn't have done it without you!!

<3 <3!!!

*nuzzledeath*
I'll tell you if it works or not when it's done uploading!! Eeee!
