Recently I've noticed,while uploading video's, that the processing bar won't move and I will have to restart the upload. Is anyone else having this issue? Also is it the file type I upload in? (which is mp4) Thanks.
Hi,
Sometimes YouTube takes longer to process then expected. Try uploading in a streamable file format such as h.264 in an MP4. You can try video conversion and encoding software such as handbrake, macx video converter or compressor. Also, you can make the audio a 2 channel ACC with constant video and audio bitrate. Make the frame rate constant. Reccomended aspect ratio is: 16:9.
You can find out more upload info here: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/1722171?hl=en
You don't need to keep the upload par open while the video processes so feel free to finish off your descriptions and tags then close the page, the video will process itself.
Just try the waiting game. If it's freezing for you at 95% processing that is completely normal. It happens all the time for me and videos finish uploading fine every time. As others have said once it's in the processing stage you can also close out the window you don't have to see it all the way to the end.
I think I have only had videos fail to process 2 or 3 times in the 2.5 years I've been doing youtube.
slow but not to slow to do that... still strange... maybe it's youtube it self somethimes. otherwise I don't know. sorry man... I wish I could help you..
