Answer 1

When the file cannot be converted or too small size, it means the file is in the wrong format...



Ensure the file format is correct before uploading to youtube...



Using windows movie maker -- you have to save it into the proper file format, that is "wmv" file (use the "save movie file" on the menu at the top left) before upload..



The WMV file will be smaller in size but still quite good quality.. so uploading it will be faster.



also some movie maker version requires to be published instead of save... for that, press "ctrl-p" to publish or search&select a publish option from the menu at the top of the program window.



--for best editing....



use windows movie maker (included in your windows machine)... it can help you make beautiful slideshow or video clip(e.g. mixing your songs with pictures/video/etc).... then save it as video file such as wmv file format... finally upload.



or .. Just get those clips you want , save & convert them, and then mix/match with pix/sound/etc using windows movie maker to create new masterpieces....



this will help you.... Use 'zillatube'. This is the easiest (and also the fastest) way.



Zillatube produces mpg/mp3 formats from youtube that are compatible with windows movie maker(or media player), and more.



It is very easy to download and convert videos. Then edit those converted mp3/mpg videos with windows movie maker... save your file as wmv and then upload.



It works very well....just google search for "zillatube"

Answer 2

Once you've finished editing your video, made sure it's less than 10 minutes, smaller than 1GB in size, and in an acceptable format, you're ready to upload it.



* Click the button in the upper-right-hand corner of any YouTube page.

* Click the "Browse" button to browse for the video file you'd like to upload to our site. Select the file you want to upload.

* Click the 'Upload Video' button to start the uploading process.

* As the video file is uploading, enter as much information about your video as possible in the relevant fields (including Title, Description, Tags, and Category). You're not required to provide specific information, but the more information you include, the easier it is for users to find your video!

* Click the 'Save changes' button to save the updates you've made to the video file.



It can take from a couple minutes to an hour for your video to upload to YouTube. If you're receiving an error with your Upload, you might want to make sure you're attempting to upload a file that's recognized by YouTube. YouTube accepts video files from most digital cameras and camcorders, and cell phones in the .AVI, .MOV, .WMV, and .MPG file formats.

u need convert video to wmv format...

i use VidCrop - supports all the video formats depending on video codecs installed, so VidCrop can easily work with avi, asf, mp4, mpg, mpeg, mov, wmv and others. Re encoded output video file would be avi or wmv and it will be controlled with width, height, frames per second and other codec properties.
