YouTube/Video query

[djemzine]

Hi folks,

So I have a question to ask you all. Basically I recorded an event at my house on Saturday and the length of that video is 29 minutes in 720P format. The video was to be uploaded on my dad's new YouTube account, so his relatives can view the video, but after painfully taking the time to upload (being on Rogers), it took about 10 hours or so. Its also a 2.22GB .mov file.

Going forward, after the video was uploaded and processed, I got an error message saying that the movie was rejected because it was longer than 15 minutes. So I found out a workaround, to remove the limit and increase it via phone verification.

However it still says its rejected, etc. I even tried to find a way to contact YouTube but apparently there's no effin way to email them or call up tech support, etc.

I ended up contacting Google Tech/Customer Support and shall see what answer I get.

Any how, is there any other way I can resolve this? Or any way for our relatives to view the video on a different site? Any suggestions?

Cheers

You would probably have to make smaller videos so you'll have like part 1/2/3/4 etc I think..
It's weird how It works though as some people can go longer then 15 and some can't.. You probably have to be a YouTube member for an X amount of time or fill something out or something.

Ya I think I'll split it into x # of parts. I found out how to remove the limit, but even then. Oh well.

Not sure if this helps
Uploading longer videos (http://support.google.com/youtube/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=71673)

I recall (I think YT changed it now) that if you had an account before a certain year (I think it was 2008?), you could upload however long videos you wanted. I've also heard about becoming a director account works too (again, this might have changed now).

Ya I saw that one and I did increase it. Oh well I shall now trim the video using iMovie and then upload again in different parts. The entire upload took up 2GB of my bandwidth GRRR....
