    Its going through all the motions etc, tells me to wait until i get a message on the screen but the message never comes, it sort of freezes.
    I thought it was the size but your allowed to download up to 1024MB and my vid is only 237 MB
    thanks

    Are you using the YouTube video uploader? If you're uploading through the website, the videos have a maximum file size of 100 MB. Also, uploading a 237 MB file will take some time; perhaps an hour or more depending on the speed of your connection.

    Anyhow, 237 MB seems a bit large for a "short vid"! lol

    Be aware also that the video cannot be more than ten minutes in duration: YouTube uploading requirements

    Well, I guess it depends on how short your "short vid" really is!

    A 25 minute TV show downloaded from iTunes is about 250 - 300 MB for instance.

    Well in that case I guess 237 MB is a bit excessive for a 5 minute YouTube video, though it'll certainly look pretty when it's played back!
