I have watched quite a few videos by gamers trying to post their gaming on YouTube and running into the same problem, some taking closer to 2 hours per minute of viewed video, making a dedicated computer and internet connection *really* a must-have. The answer seems to be to use a Windows video editor you can't get any more to "compress" the video, making it imperceptibly lower-res to the viewer, but the file much smaller, making it upload at a 5-10 minutes per minute of video rate. (2) I am in San Jose, the very center of "Silicon Valley". As I'll keep harping on until it sinks in, the "digital divide" here is about the size of the Grand Canyon and I lived here for almost 5 years before I got internet at all. Free wifi makes dial-up at 28.8kbaud look blistering fast, and that's if and when you can find it. I have internet now, that my employer is paying for, and it could well be that the upload speed is very slow. Fast enough for me to upload single photos to Ebay on, but just not up to anything like uploading video. In this area, if you want the kind of internet they have in Albania or Korea, you have to pay $500 a month or so for it. alex carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12458022111793552536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-650160678722829210.post-51936517170443755072017-03-31T14:05:34.421-05:002017-03-31T14:05:34.421-05:00Wow, I couldn't (and still can't) comment ...Wow, I couldn't (and still can't) comment on my own blog using Firefox...<br />Ironically, I was answering the above comment from Alex in California with some technical advice, like make sure the wi-fi he is using is the problem by trying to upload videos at Starbucks, for example<br />It took 4 minutes to upload my 5 minute video; as soon as I clicked publish it said "4 minutes remaining"<br />if it isn't your wi-fi connection being hacked by a neighbor who is chewing up bandwidth playing online war games while you struggle to upload, and it isn't a setting in your computer i.e. other sites upload fast -how long does it take to upload a blog post, mine is like less than 5 seconds usually...<br />Well, let me see if this publishes; I closed Firefox and opened the Ubuntu linux supplied "browser" maybe this is how people become loyal to one or another browser, let's see if this comment posts<br />P.S. @Alex, you could be on a blacklist of trumpet makers that some powerfull people are trying to mute (excuse the pun) LOLDaniel McKenna IIIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04157964564856145960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-650160678722829210.post-57218076728964574362017-03-30T03:46:14.722-05:002017-03-30T03:46:14.722-05:00That video you did is a bit over 5 minutes long. S...That video you did is a bit over 5 minutes long. So, did it take you a bit over 5 hours to upload? Why or why not? alex carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12458022111793552536noreply@blogger.com
