I had the bright idea of videoing the pups then putting it on yt with a link from my website so that pup wners could see their little darlings. However im finding it impossible to upload, having never dealt with video before! can anyone tell me if i hvae to make it a smaller file to put on YT or just leave as is? Any help appreciated! After about 3 hours uploading one timy clip it tells mme I have an unknown upload error. Very helpful!! :(

I've tried and coldn't do it either Sam if you manage please let me know how

I've never tried it, but I think it can only be a certain time length.  Maybe this is the problem?

Sam - you can also load video to photobucket if that's of any help?

Hiya Sam,
I have a You Tube channel  and have found the time of day is sometimes a hinderance to uploading videos.If  You Tube is particularly busy your upload time can time out before you have finished uploading your video...very annoying. Video uploading on there can take anywhere between a couple of minutes to a few  hours. If after 8 hours you still see a status message next to the video saying "Uploaded (processing, please wait)," try removing the video from You Tube  and uploading it again, just  click the "Remove Video" button below the video in question in "My Videos" and go through the full upload process again.

You have to make sure the  video youre trying to upload is less than 1GB or it wont upload at all , if your video is bigger than this,this could be your problem. If you have checked the size  of your video and it is fine  make sure your video is under 10 minutes in length. you tube accepts most video file formats, including .wmv, .mov, .mpg, or .avi. If your video meets these minimum requirements and still won't upload, there may be a problem with the video compression you're using. They recommend the MPEG4 format at 640x480 resolution with MP3 audio.

I hope this helps a bit

welll.......despite it telling me there wasn an error and they hadnt uploaded....it appears they had.....seven times!!!! Grr.  oh well at least i can put the videos up for the puppy owners now!

lol ....You Tube has a mind of its own Sam, I'm always having to deal with the problems it throws up from time to time.....the server was probably just busy ,You tube does funny things when its busy.
The more you use it the more you will get used to these little annoying things.
Glad you managed to get it sorted though in the end :)

Sam

I sooo want one of them - they are soo cute!!   Why are gundogs and hounds not on the same day!!

Ah well one day I'll have a blanket black :)
