Youtube uploading taking forever

[Bab22]

Ok so Today i decided to upload some practice game play footage to my YouTube channel to see what it would look like after compression. The video is approximately an hour long and about 30 gigs (avi format.) Anyway, currently my processing time is sitting at around the 5500 minute mark which is rather depressing. I have 90mbps connection but am only uploading at a couple of Kbps anyone have any experience with this or suggestions to make the speeds faster minus? I am not too interested in compression in the moment but i might have to go with that if these are the speeds i can expect.

 

Also, for the record the video is in 1920x1200 format @60fps.

Could you run a speedtest and link the image? ( http://speedtest.net )

 

I'd recommend throwing your video through some program to compress it if possible.

The upload speed is usually always a lot slower than the download speed. Most times around 10x slower.

Also, 30 GB of data to youtube? You should definitly compress it...

AVI format my have be an issue. Try using MP4 or MWV as I find they upload and process a lot faster. Ensure you're connected via cable and wireless to your router..

@Bab22

• Why is it on 1920x1200? YouTube is built with 16:9 vids in mind.
• AVI 30GB holy crap, you need a quick lesson or two on formats my friend there's a few on techquickie but I'd recommend searching for more
• You could make a 2 hour video in 1080p with just 800MB

@megaant4 MP4 and etc are not formats they're containers for formats. Like H.264

Ok, Well after this upload i might give that a try, I just don't enjoy compressing things that are going to be compressed again by youtube

 

Also yeah this is an ethernet based pc.

Yeah, I am aware of that, Mainly because  i wanted to test youtube new original format option and see if it also support 60 frames at 1200p (since they currently support 1080p.) I also wanted to lose the least amount of picture fidelity due to compression since it would be compressed twice if I compressed it before posting to youtube.

On top of the large file size I bet you were being throttled by your ISP.

I have never had issues with throttling, few weeks ago i deleted my entire steam library (1.5 terabytes of data.) and then redownloaded. Took around a day to a day and a half which seems in line with my max speed consistently

Some ISP's don't always go off data being uploaded or downloaded, but where it is actually coming from. Hopefully that stops with the new laws, but I bet they find a way around it.
