uploading videos to youtube won't work.?

People around the world are uploading videos

to YouTube virtually every second of every day.

Because they are all uploading different types

of videos ("avi", "mov", "mpg", "wmv", etc.) in

different lengths using different compressions,

it can sometimes take YouTube's computers

up to an incredible 2 days to process, convert

and index every individual uploaded video into

their universal format -- thus ensuring that any

computer around the world could then access

and play any YouTube video.

That's the reason for any of these possibilities:

-- you don't see your video under "My Videos";

-- you see only the grey-&-white camera icon;

-- you see your video thumbnail and all its info

but when you play it, "this video is unavailable";

-- your video doesn't show up in search results

even if you type your username and video title.

How long has it actually been since YouTube

completely "received" your video?

Once your video is finally in the public domain,

there is always the possibility that YouTube's

computer algorithms have yet figure out which

20 other videos will be placed in the "Related

Videos" section. Don't be surprised if that part

doesn't show anything right away.

Depending on the length of the video, it could take a while. Usually it should say Video Uploaded. Processing please wait.
