How long does it take for a YouTube video to be uploaded to the site? I just posted my first SOD2.5 Gameplay Video on it.

I made this topic before...

Anyway, it took mine, like, ten minutes.

I think it's a certain time that the staff of youtube inspect new video's then there accessible for the public..i dont know i dont have an account yet.

It depends on how big the file is. If it's large, it could take up to ten minutes. If it's small, it could take around four.
And then, after uploading, your video has to be processed. Which takes even longer >_>

How long?

There is no way that the staff at youtube could individually watch all of the videos that are uploaded everyday.

^ I was referring to the processing time. Ten minutes. My videos upload very quickly.

How long?

Let's just say it could be anywhere between 10-20 minutes. Patience is a virtue, young TriMaster :O

I suggest that you be patient cause its not like your video will never be posted ever

I'm new to this I thought the same processing principal on youtube is the same as in Pure ZC.

My videos are processed often in 1-3 minutes, no matter how long it is. Once it was that my video's processing lasted for very long... I was watching it for 30 minutes, then went sleeping and next morning it was processed.

Plus, I think the staff DO invidually process videos. First of all, this can be thought according to the help files, plus then there wouldn't even be processing time, or it would add to the uploading time, which means it wouldn't exist.

But how is that possible? YouTube is such a large community... I don't think the employees are paid to sit in front of their computers and watch videos everyday just to make sure they're okay. Maybe processing is just converting the file, done automatically.

Okay I got

Failed (invalid file format)

what does this mean? DO I have to do this again?

[Bowser Blanchette]

YouTube officially accepts uploaded videos in .WMV, .AVI, .MOV, MPEG and .MP4, formats!

I don't know what .MOV and .MPEG are though.

Those are the only files YouTube will accept.
