What is the best way to upload long videos?
« on: August 14, 2012, 10:19:24 AM »
I have a 3 min, 6min, and 33minute video from a contour 720p. I have been trying Photobucket, but whether it is 1 or 3 videos I try to upload it always says 430.3MB and it takes hours to upload, so my computer in that time either hibernates, or disconnects the internet which means it stops downloading and I have to restart the whole process again. So how would I upload the 3 videos in an efficient way while getting good resolution?

Thanks guys!

It's going to take a long time to upload a 720p, 33-minute-long video no matter how you do it or where you go, so if you have problems with your internet shutting off from taking so long, that's pretty much out. The 3- and 6-minute ones, well... there's always YouTube? Or Dropbox. Dropbox might be your best option.

Use Veedub64 and compress it before hand.

With the Silverlight browser plugin you can upload files up to 20GB. It also keeps track of upload progress so you don't have to start all over if the connection breaks.
