How long to upload a video ?
Posted: Tue July 8, 2008 10:00 PM UTC
To my complete amazement and delight, I managed to upload my first video on Saturday evening just by following the instructions. I was amazed at how long it took to upload though - almost two hours for a video 1 minute, 20 seconds long. Is this normal or did I do something wrong ?

Mine only took a few minutes but it wasn't the same quality as yours

I'm sure it shouldn't take so long. I looked at some 7 minute long videos earlier and was figuring it must have taken 14 hours to load them which would be absolutely crazy.

Maybe the time of day and how busy the servers are?

I suppose that could be a possibility but hopefully someone in the know will fill us in.

Uploading time will depend on many things,File size,format and your internet connection upload speed.Since your video is on VT you did it right

Was the video in Quicktime? My understanding is that some videos (but particularly Quicktime) take longer to process. Now, in my case, the video uploaded, it just did not show up correctly for a couple of days because the support people actually had to go and tweak it a bit.

Or perhaps the person was doing the dance during the upload ... so that would explain loading up and down .... ok, bad joke - awesome video!

When we have the VT meet in October, is there a place in Cork where they hold those dances?

I'll be doing my very best to arrange it Martha and if not I'll do one myself.

I think it's probably to do with my connection so before I attempt another one I'll need to check that out.

For interest:

I am in the process of uploading my first video. And it is indeed taking forever......the video is about 2.5 minutes long, and I estimate it will have taken around an hour and a half to fully load.

Definitely down to connection speed, I think. Not sure if there is anything to be done except grit my teeth and only make short videos in future.
