Okay, I know how to make a video using my webcam. I do this all the time, and send these to my friends. Sometimes they can open up my videos, sometimes they get error messages, hey, it works, and then it won't. Can't do much about that.

So I figured, if they can't open up my videos on their computer, why not upload my video to Youtube.

I use Youtube all the time, and I know what I'm doing.

So I clicked on my account, and then upload video. You put in some information, then you press continue and you go to the next screen, where you see a place you can browse for the video you want to upload.

So I click on browse and it takes me to a folder named "Pictures and Videos". and there are all the videos I make with my Logitech quick cam.

I find the video I wanted. It's saved in .avi format (which youtube supports). I know this because I went to their help section and it says "we support wave files, mpg files, .avi files, (all kind of files).

So once I saw that i had a .avi file, I thought I was home free.

I clicked on upload, it uploaded with no problems. Then I get a message "you have successfully uploaded your videos, go to My Videos in a few minutes while it's being processed.

So I wait a few minutes, I go to "my videos", and it tells me 'can't tranfer, blah blah blah, something like that. Can't exactly remember.

Now what am I doing wrong. I'm uploading the way they say to, it prompts me that I uploaded it correctly, but during the processing of it, it's not on youtube.

I tried clicking on the video itself and saving it in another format (maybe in my emusic folder), but when I try to save it, on the bottom of the screen, it says "all files". I think it should say "mpg, or wave" file.

But it won't let me save it as a wav file. Not that I think that this might make a difference. I have no idea.

All these people upload to youtube every day. I can't seem to do this.

I'm probably doing something so stupid but I'd appreciate any help in uploading a video from the My pictures and video folder onto Youtube.

Thanks so much.
