KeymasterI have recently wanted to post videos to youtube but I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Finally got all my google acounts figured out. But some how the files don’t convert nicely. 258 minutes? for a 4 minute video? Is this just because of my DSL or am I using the wrong file type or something? I have used windows live movie maker. need help! I hope someone will now return to the much more interesting sugaring thread I interrupted. donn

ParticipantDonn, it could take that long for a 4 minute video, particularly if it is HD. Your DSL is probably not real fast so you are likely OK.

ParticipantI agree with Tim, If I have an HD video I let it load overnight while I sleep, my DSL is not super fast either.

ModeratorI stopped making HD movies…. the definition is overplay on the web….. if you wanted to show the film on a projector it might make a difference.
When I export the movies I save them as medium-sized m4v files (640×360). Also, when I create the movie I choose standard size 4:3, rather than wide screen 16:9.
When I started making vids, using the default settings, I found that I had to wait for hours even on a high speed system, just because the file was so huge. I went back and reformatted it to the above setting, and it took 15 minutes….
