well maybe you guys can have people uploadit kinda like FTP but in their own folder that resembles their page or what not…as for the encoding to flash im not sure how you guys would do that..but im sure you would think of something

cause as of right now its taking me 2 hours to upload a video thats only a size of 5mb and it shouldnt take that long

Maybe you should try out wpr it converts video files to 3gp. And also allowes uploading of 3gp files.

Still monitoring this thread.

I absolutely love the idea of having a YouTube development team blog. So, the team would really like to involve the community in defining how we develop the product. After all, I think the video blogging community will be a core group putting up refreshing content on a regular basis.

We do have an XML API that hasn’t been exposed to the public yet. Through the API, it will be possible to generate tag searches, get details on videos, search by username, etc. Do you think something like that would be useful for the public?

Regarding 3GP, have you tried uploading a 3GP video? I have a Treo650 and I have been able to upload those videos and the encoder has been able to handle those.

Keep up the discussions, we’re listening attentively!

well, i’m not really good at computer things, but i’ve tried many many software appliations.

take the example of Imagestation; a image hosting website that allows you to make unlimited photo albums and share with friends. There’re 2 options in uploading, one is that you have to browse and upload in their website after you login, or, a very convenient way, download their image uploader and upload your pictures to the site right directly from your PC! IT’s actually faster and more convenient and easier!

So if youtube can develope something like that…that’ll be cool!

Liew, I’m all done with your code! Got it done, really.
And your suggestion about auto play is absolutely correct. Now I have 2 clips and my page provides a Symphony Orchestra performance!!!!!!

Wonder if we could develope a YouTube uploader or something like that so we can upload to Youtube with a blink of an eye!

You know, I spent more than 6 hours last night to upload a clip of only 27MB [it's limit is 100MB], and only spending another 3 hours, I managed to upload, and wrote a feedback to steve on the problem.

There’re many more I wanna say, but i’m in a haste now, so maybe I’ll do another comment here later. Thanks a lot for letting us knowing this great service!

I suggest having a audio adjustable button, like a Quicktime player kind. It’s not cool to get shocked with unexpectable loud vid when accessing a someone’s site.

What else, have the vid window size adjustable too when posting to blogs?

Have a choice for owners of vids to make it downloadable or for streaming only.
