1) Is there some secret to getting vifs past the 3.95 gb limit I'm experiencing? Totally, newbie here, so lamen terms would be appreciated.

2) Since I seem to be stonewalling into this gig limit, is there a way to splice two or more vids together, maybe even once uploaded to YouTube?

3) Annd lastly, is there a good way to compress the file sizes and still be able to upload them to YouTube?

(Kinda in a bind atm, Vid series Starts Monday! So any help will be greatly appreciated.)

1) No i don't think so as that is to keep videos at manageable sizes

2) Yes... they are called video editors. I use Magix, but there are a number of programs that do it. Don't use the Windows default one.

3) Yes... Those video editors give you various compression format to save in and it makes a huge difference. Video editing takes a lot of RAM and time btw so I wouldn't suggest it unless you have a fairly good PC

No. This is to keep video file sizes manageable. Beyond that, some tools have problems handling the files.

I use Camtasia Studio to combine my files into a single work. Most other video editing packages out there should allow you to drop successive video files onto a "timeline". Then combine and upload them as a single work.

I have several 20+ minute videos up on my YouTube channel to testify to this.

Actually you're going to have long uploads for long videos regardless.
Just make sure you unlock your YouTube account's ability to host long videos (requires a cell phone that can accept text messages).



Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

>.> Since when? They just want an account in good standing, not a cell phone as far as I know.

My YouTube and Google Video accounts are quite in good standing and have existed for years. Yet I was still prompted for this (and one of my videos truncated) before I was allowed to upload longer videos again.

The one I use to compress is VirtualDub (using the ffdshow codec) - saving as AVI compresses files down to a much more manageable size.

I then use Sony Vegas Movie Studio for my actual video editing, and save the output file as WMV, which compresses again without significant loss of quality.
