Youtube question: Uploading longer videos, errors.

Ok, so I've already applied to expand the limit on the videos beyond 15 minutes. Yet whenever I try to upload a video it keeps giving me an error "The server has rejected the file, please follow these instructions".

I did and everything is fine and nothing should be preventing the file from uploading, unless, there is a cap on how LARGE the file can be. Currently it's roughly 89GB in size. Do I need to cut it up into two in order to upload it?

I can upload significantly smaller videos, but its the 25-29 min videos that go into the 70-90GB in size range that seem to fail. They don't even begin to load, as soon as I try open then to upload, I get the aforementioned error.

Help?

89GB???

I couldn't imagine anyone anywhere allowing you to upload a file of that size for free.

I would suggest cutting it up into about 50 segments.

I recently uploaded a 3.2GB, 30 minute video without problem.

Chewy's probably right.

How do I cut it down any further then in Fraps? I have this piece of shit virtual dub that requires me to install a crap ton of adware or what have you in order to keep it on my pc without having to "reinstall" it each time (Which i promptly decline everything it wants me to additionally install)

Any other ideas?

Dude virtual dub is great.....mine didnt come with any extra software.

And yea you gotta compress that shit. I use virtual dub and it works like a charm.

Can you send me your install version by chance? Did you buy it?

Edit: I think I found the problem, certain settings in VD were not correctly set, so I think it was appending the videos and not compressing them completely. Making a new file now and seeing if it will be small enough to upload right now.

Yea I do this

File > OPen Video file

Select your file you want compressed

Video > Compression

Select MPEG- 4 codec then hit ok

File > Save as AVI and then it will compress

So far so good, I re-did the compression and the file is a little over a gig to 3 gigs now.

The compression settings were non-existent it seems the first time I tried to compress the video.

*Feels stupid*

Haha no worries. It took me awhile to figure out how to use the program too. Just do the steps I said and your videos will be compressed dramatically.

I still have to keep reinstalling that damn program though. So annoying.

Really?

Ive had no issue with that.

Where did you install it from?

I downloaded the program a while ago, i dont remember where, and each time it asks me to install all this garbage, like web plug ins and crap, it "installs" but stats suck in a screen saying it is. I can use the program, but it never completes, and I have to do it each and every fucking time I want to compress a fraps video.

Man....I dont know what to say. Maybe try a fresh install.

Use this link if you decide to redownload.

It was a pain in the ass to do, but I "acquired" a copy of Sony Vegas and it's made all my video rendering and compressing a breeze. It's also got all the editing tools you need to make professional looking videos.


So yeah, there's that option if you don't mind that sort of thing.

I have vegas as well. I made my Spec Ops video with it. Great program. I got mine for 50$.

Hmm, I downloaded the version you have Sym, but I no longer have the compression settings that I did with the other one that I had to keep "Reinstalling" nor do I have the settings that you suggested.

Man....I dont know what to say....that very bizarre.

You did a clean install?

The first one was never installed in the first place (It never appeared in my programs folder and such. I'll uninstall and try again and run the K-lite codec pack that I had to use last time.

Ok, I got it to work, however I noticed that when I recorded a new video, my voice was extremely quiet in the video, while my friend sounded fine. How do I get fraps to record my voice at normal volume?
