I Need Help with Youtube!?

I want to upload a video, and I wanted to know that after it's uploaded, do you need to keep the original on your hard drive? Or can you delete the file off the computer and still have it on the site? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Yes, you can delete it from your computer -- however, if you ever wanted it back, it cannot be re-downloaded from YouTube (as far as I know, anyway).

    You can delete the file from your computer because, the file is already uploaded to the wesbite.

    Eddy - you can still download it from you tube using a special software

    if your hardisk space is limited then delete it... you can always download it back from youtube..

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

    Zillatube produces mpg/mp3 video or sound formats from youtube that are compatible with windows movie maker(or windows media player), and more. Also for high quality conversion, use vcd mode to get good quality mpg file.

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

    It is very easy to download and convert videos. Then edit those converted mpg videos with windows movie maker.

    It works very well - http://www.zillatube.com/
