Mosaic - age? ..Daffy?

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. :(

Yip yip

As far as slow upload speeds on an internet cafe, that's normal they throttle the speeds on purpose

iMovie's '09 edition has YouTube and FaceBook export built in, and does a fantastic job at it.

iMovie '09 requires an intel processor. Upgrade your Mac.

The reason why your upload keeps taking longer and longer is because the internet café, or your connection, are either dropping speed, or are having some serious noise on the line causing interrupted transfers.

yes, buy a PC, problem solved, all the codecs will be there to export correctly into YouTube or anything else

The free Movie Maker from MS is fucking great, great to compile porn clips into full wankable movies

I use i-movie HD (06) but I'm not uploading from that anyway, I compress the finished movie in H264 Quicktime, so the file size to be uploaded is only 124.9 MB, well within the size limit.

When I lived out in the sticks I had better internet and the same movie would take less than 20 minutes to upload and the duration time would decrease.

So why is it increasing?

So you're saying that I should by a fucking PC because Macs are incapable of uploading a small video?

Wait till I see you next, it'll be a bigger box with sharper corners you fuckin' provocative French tard.

^ I can make you easy, tard, this time I will use your silly camera to do your head in

if you were using a Mac laptop which are notorious for poor WiFi connection, then yes buying a reliable PC would solve the problem

I've just bought a PC and I'm having the same problem, what else could it be?

^^ upgrade the brain of the user :p

Look, all you idiots can piss off - from now on I will only be responding to Melvbot, Cimboc or Quack Quack or anybody else who can solve this very simple fucking problem that even the biggest idiot should know the answer to but none of you do.

Scamp, probably the internet cafe you are using has a single connection shared with all the computers in the shop so it will be slow.

Can you pop in to a swanky hotel somewhere with free wifi and have a coffee while the vids upload?

It sounds like a PEBKAC problem to me.

Never thought I'd see redeeming qualities in Scampy -- I'm starting to like him, now.

Several possibilities:

- Upgrade your Mac to something with an intel processor. I hear Butterfly has a Mac mini he wants to get rid of, and it would be the ideal machine. You can then run Snow Leopard, and iLife'09, with iMovie'09 doing what you need it to do. It's worthwhile investment.

- Upload your raw files to one of my servers, and I'll re-compress it for you, and you can then grab it from my server again. Of course, if your problem is with the network connection being problematic, then that won't help you much.

- As Slackula suggested, find a locale with better and more reliable connectivity (any TRUE Wifi hotspot could work, and you can buy a monthly subscription for $25), and upload from there with your Mac.

Have you got a direct line and your own internet connection at your apartment Scamp, or is the net all inclusive where you are?

Seems like that is what you need to fix.

Here's the best formats for uploads to YT.

That's very kind Daff, but I think first I need to try what Sakula suggested, and - dare I say it, bkkmadness is probably right also. It is only a recent problem, my Mac is more than capable of uploading videos and has done it many times before.

The internet here is shit, I would go to the Soi 8 pub for lunch and use their free WIFI but I was recently ejected from there for opening a door to quickly so I'm not going back there again and I'm not going to tell anyone how good the food is anymore.

I think my internet is currently free, so I will have to fork out some extra dosh or have coffee at the Sheraton Sukhumvit or something.

Will let y'all know.

So, did you suffer some form of birth problem, like lack of oxygen in the womb, or did this developmental retardation grown on you over time?

...because you act, and write, like an attention starved 5-year old. I thought this was a genuine issue requiring assistance, but it's just another wind-up form the village idiot.

You won't mind if I place you back on ignore now, where you'll stay for the foreseeable future?

It was/is a genuine problem - just because I throw in some light hearted anecdote to make the read less boring, it doesn't mean I've made it all up.

The problem is real, the style of the post is mine.

Cheer up man, Jesus - get out and get some sunshine, treat yourself to a Thai massage.

^ he is freezing his arse in the server room, while you are drinking beer in OnNut Beer garden surrounded by hotties

no wonder he is frustrated, don't pay attention :p

^ Where were you last night?

I had an empty box of 100 Pipers waiting under the table, ask 7. :)

^ hehehe, I had to wake up early this morning, and Blake7 is still under the table drunk, so glad I didn't make it :p

will do a big night out with bkkmadness and you for the Blake7 farewell party :)

Its true - he did have an empty whisky box ready to bludgeon you.
I am a little jaded today - much too much "loud-mouth soup" last night.

^ haha, I knew it was a setup to cardboard me again !!! :p

What's 'loud mouth soup'?

Actually I think it's Facebook's inbuilt compression. I've often experienced waiting around 45mins to an hour uploading just a 30-40 second clip.

My internet speed in great and my computer is pretty high spec.

It's a Facebook thing me finks!
