How long your video takes to process after it's

uploaded depends on a few variables: your file

size, compression, and the available bandwith

(which means YouTube upload traffic). Please

consider....



People all over the planet are uploading videos

to YouTube literally every second of every day

(13 hours' worth every minute according to the

YouTube blog of November 12, 2008).



Because everyone is uploading different types

of videos (like AVI, MOV, MPG, WMV, etc) in

different file sizes, lengths, and compressions,

YouTube says it sometimes takes up to a fun

8 hours before your video is processed -- even

though it sometimes really takes up to 2 days.



The major reason for this is because YouTube

still has to scan for illegal copyrighted content,

"decompress", "convert", "encode", "database"

and "index" every recently uploaded video into

their universal format, thus ensuring that every

computer around the world can access & play

any YouTube video. Every once in a while, the

servers at YouTube will "drop the ball", leaving

you hanging without any explanation.



If, after 8 hours, YouTube is still displaying the

dreaded "processing, please wait", it might be

time for you to reluctantly "pull the plug", click

"Remove Video", and start uploading the video

all over again.



YouTube says that their ideal format is mpeg4

at 640x480 resolution. But, that was when the

player was 425x344 pixels in size. Since their

upgrade to the wide-screen format, the ideal is

actually 480x360 (or 640x360 for wide-screen).

If it's a long Video it shouldn't upload fast.Check to make sure your video is in WMV not as a Windows Movie Maker File.Convert the video to WMV using a free online video converter.I used an online video to mp3 converter for my music.



Usually a video will take forever to process depending on the type of video(in your case it's a imovie type file).It took one of my video's 3 days to process.

Oh and uploading the same video many times can lag the video processing process.So delete the last two uploaded videos to make uploading quicker and easier for you.

It means somethings wrong with the file, it's either too big, or the files corrupted.
