How do I upload my videos to YouTube???

Fellow car nuts:

I know the title is a little off the car topic, but hey, if anyone out there wants to see any more videos from Kirkham Motorsports (or me running through the woods, or Jamo with a...oh never mind), then I have to get this problem solved! Especially since I am trying to get ready to take videos at our Open House this Saturday.

It is driving me CRAZY!!!!!
:mad::mad::mad:

I have Sony Vegas 9.0b (I readily admit I am inept at it) but I am quite positive there is a major glitch in the program. "Yes, David, but haven't you uploaded cool YouTube videos before?," you ask. Well, yes! I have. But, that was yesterday before I uploaded the stupid upgrade to Vegas 8.0 and turned it into a NON WORKING 9.0. Now, if you import media in 9.0, the program NUKES itself! (I wish certain politicians would do the same! :LOL: )

Now, for some stupid reason, Vegas will NOT allow me to run my old 8.0 again! :CRY: It simply automatically updates to the dumb 9.0 and I am back in video editing hell. (I have been there for 2 days now and I am desperate!)

HELP!

Anyone know a relatively decent video editor that can be used to upload videos onto YouTube (so we can all enjoy them!) ???

Thanks in advance!

You've tried to uninstall both V8 and V9? That's what I would do. Then re-install 8.

You can upload MPG or WMV files to YouTube manually or you can first convert them to FLV with something like Riva FLV encoder. I've done both.

Ok, I got desperate and downloaded Windows Movie Maker. That HAS to work...RIGHT?

Same thing.

CRASH!!!

Did a search and found this is a common feature of this particular Windows program! :CRY::CRY::CRY:

I have a 356 meg mpg file and uploading that to YouTube would take hours and hours and hours. I need to downsize it before I can upload it.

I will check out the Riva FLV encoder.

:(:(:(

Riva just failed too.

I think I have a codec problem.

David, Vegas Movie Studio 9 requires the most current version of QuickTime, Microsoft DirectX, and Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 -- try installing the most recent releases of those and see if your crashes go away (along with WMM as well). No guarantees, though.:3DSMILE:

David,
Have you tried restoring your computer to an earlier date? A date that you know everything worked correctly.

Can't do that right now as I am on another computer. But that is a good idea. Will try it tomorrow.

In the meantime, I am downloading QT etc. as per patrickt's suggestion.

I have a feeling I'll be up all night again!
