Can you upload a video with a .mov file extension? I can't get mine to upload on youtube. Am I doing something wrong?

CHoffman

My kodak movies are a .mov file. You can upload them to www.photobucket.com I couldn't get youtube to work but photobucket does!!.

mathas

My phone records video in .mov format with an option to upload directly to YouTube, so whatever is preventing your uploads may not be related to the file extension. In fact, YouTube's site says:

When you say you can't get them to upload, do you get any kind of error message?

bolivianbaby

No error message, just 10 minutes (literally) later, it's still working. Am I being impatient? I'm not a member of photobucket. Do I need to be? How does that work? The only one I'm familiar with is youtube.

Tony G.

you have to wait for it and most of the time at the end it doesnt upload it. you could get a photobucket account..

mathas

Maybe! How big is the file?

YouTube says it could take up to 24 hours, but that seems more than a little excessive:

bolivianbaby

I'm going to try photobucket. If you guys don't see it by tonight, this will be me in the corner of my bedroom in the dark-

Holy smoke, 24 hours? That does seem excessive. However, I've never done this before so it may be me-imagine that

How long does it usually take you all to upload vids on youtube?

Shawnie

awww. that bites!! I know when I upload at night time, it takes longer to process the vid to make it public from youtube and im assuming its because it has much more traffic at night ....but I could be wrong!! dont hurt yaself in the corner

bolivianbaby

Hmmm, maybe I should try it early in the morning, like between 6 and 9ish.

You know it's the jellys I video'd, right? Once I get this video thing down, I'm gonna catch 'em on tape "arguing"

Shawnie

I figured it was the jellys lol.hence my awwwwwww that bites ...good luck with it tho! and depending on the size of the vid, depends on how long it takes..what connection do you have to the internet?

Tony G.

aww cute! im charging my batteries so i can catch my jelly arguing with Scarlett too

bolivianbaby

Some kind of high speed that I got through Charter. I thought I got the "supercharged" so to speak. My regular internet's pretty quick, so here's hoping.

I am so crying if you get yours posted before me

Tony G.

just did

Lucy

You are such a brat! lol

Any videos I take with my camera are too large for any vid. sharing sites or even to e-mail. I'm following this to see how you figured it out.

Tony G.

lucy, try to compress it and send it to my email, i will gladly upload them for you

CHoffman

Mine did the same thing with Youtube..Just loaded forever and ever and ever..lol..Never did load up..Shawnie is the one that told me about photobucket and it works like a charm. You do have to have an account but it's super easy. All the videos I have posted on here are from Photobucket. I wouldn't of minded using Youtube just couldn't get it to load my .mov files. Good luck..ohhh yeah and the first couple of times I uploaded to photobucket it got stuck on 60% but when I refreshed the video was there so just in case you run into that.

Lucy

I have no idea how to do that. I don't have any of my tanks anyway. Just some family stuff.

Sorry bolivianbaby, don't want to hi-jack.
I hope you get it worked out.

bolivianbaby

I did get it worked out. I used photobucket. Betcha that'll work for you, too.
