A lot of my early YouTube videos have suddenly all reduced in quality, in fact they are barely watchable. The quality was never to the standard of a YouTube official movie trailer to begin with but it was watchable.

As my internet is so rubbish at my place I've popped over the road to an internet cafe which I had been told was a lot faster - so I'm uploading one of said videos to Facebook and was going to re-upload to YouTube.

It started out promising - I had almost 2 centimeters of blue bar within five minutes but it's gone from REMAINING TIME 22 MINUTES to 1 HOUR 43 MINUTES (AND CLIMBING) within twenty minutes.

I was going to start uploading the YouTube one also but I guess this will make the first upload even slower - or won't it make a difference?

It is also 17:45pm - could this be a factor, that it is peak hour? ...If so what time should I return tomorrow and try again?

Daffy, if you are watching - I do recall you commenting once on my quality (the quality that I was originally satisfied with) - and if you are still willing to explain how I can re-compress to get near perfect quality I am ready to listen.

I currently compress to H.264, the compression rate I hope you suggest will no doubt be an option on my compression settings but is that going to take even longer?

Remaining time is now at 2 hours, I can't sit here that long.
