3 day of attempting to up load a video to Dtube

in dtube •  7 years ago 

Hi Steemers

I am most frustrated. This is my 3 day at attempting to upload a video to Dtube

The round and round is spinning but the video never gets uploaded.

Speed of connection dose not seem to be an issue. Was using a slow upload now on cable same problem,

My next guess is the use of browser. dose Dtube require a specific browser? I use Firefox with both the javascripts enabled.

Any suggestions or do I have to go back to YouTube.

I would appreciate any help I can get.

I have walked a couple of people through the process (using Chrome) and there was no problem. Maybe try a short test video < 1 mb.

just up loaded a 1.9 m
trying a 5.5m
The one I need is 6.42m

Seems to be a cut off around 6 Meg

I will edit down to under 6m

Would be nice to have a meter to know how fast and how much is left.
Thanks

I would have said the site had an upload limit size ... which is governed by a setting in something called the IIS. However it is possible that it is something having to do with your connection with the internet. You could try uploading a file to another video service (if not youtube - vimeo or something similar) to see where the constraint is. If you want to reduce the size of the video, you don't need to edit it but can reduce it by slightly reducing the size of the video. Consider that humans can hear between 20 hz and 20,000 hz but sound exists lower and higher than what humans can hear. Some sound compression techniques just eliminate areas that humans cannot hear. Same thing applies to images and video. Hear is a link that should reduce the size without changing the quality substantially.

I have never used this so cannot speak of its quality. Alternative software is available. When you do get it up there, send me a message ... I would be happy to view and upvote.

Thanks for the response and info. I have been able to upload to youtube with out a problem other than time. The YouTube upload took more than 3 hours and processing was cued.

I have been working with OpenShot and have been experimenting with export formats. I have just exported it to YouTube format and seems to work well locally. file was reduced from 5.3 m to .5 meg. a sizable reduction. Now trying upload.

Got the video up to the site. but on posting it did not accept the format.

The article shows on the channel page. With thumb nail
here the link to the article https://dtube.video/v/shantamcbain/1242l9gz

I will try again with another format the YouTube.

Thanks for the help. We will find a way for it to work.

Thank you for sharing this.

Thanks for your quick response!
So you saying the industry standard is not supported? Never going to use Chrome. Chrome monitors all your activities. Profits from that activity. What this is all about.
This is sad.
Thanks for the response. I will try a small upload.

This is impressive stuff.
