head in.....
I have video footage of Taylor doing a waltz ....it won't up load to photobucket....Dan told me to try youtube and it just keeps loading and loading but never actually loads
What am I doing wrong.....

Ocean said:

how big is the file? what format is it in and how long are you actually leaving it to load before you crack it?

ZombieKitten said:

um....ok this is what it says type of file : Windows Media Player (.VOB)
size: 52.0 MB (54,544,384 bytes)
does that help....and Im ready to lose it any minute (@*#(*&@(*#&@)(#*

Format's really important...if it's not loading the one you're using,
try a different one.

Did I mention Im crap with computers

Ocean said:

does photobucket accept that file type? and something that large? I can't find the FAQs

Ocean said:

So am I

So if I can do it, anyone can

ZombieKitten said:

I don't know

obsessed said:

but HOW do you do it? what file types do you upload?

if it's a .vob it needs to be converted into something else like .avi or .mpg to upload it on most sites.

I need step by step instructions

Protege said:

ok how do I do that

Directed to both Kylie and Charlotte

This was a couple of months ago or more...I don't remember
how I did it...I just kept poking around until it happened..
I don't know what I hit or nuthin'

So what I'm sayin' is I can't give you a step by step

Ocean said:

it can be done one of two ways.

1. this is the easy way, but it MAY not work (though i've never had it fail). you probably will want to make a copy of the file just in case it doesn't. then just rename the .vob extension to either .avi or .mpeg - after that you should be able to upload it.

2. download a free vob converter; i have one i used once and if you need me to post a link to a specific program i can find it and do that

obsessed said:

Download one of the many free Video Converters. I think the one I did is Prism. So you download your vid to your PC then run it thru the converter, then download the converted file to photobucket! MP4 is a good format!

Protege said:

where do I find the extension to rename it

Ocean said:

I tell ya, it was purely by accident that I got it to upload

Although I only remember being given two format choices, and when one
didn't work, I just used the other one....does that help??

I didn't need to download a converter

Ocean said:

in explorer under Tools > Folder Options, go to the 'View' tab.
there's a giant list of options with checkboxes - look for something that says something like what's surrounded in red:


then you just uncheck that box.

i hope that works

Protege said:

ok ..trying that

Protege said:

ok it changed it
So now should I just go back to photobucket and try to upload it again?

Ocean said:

yeah, just try to upload it again with the new extension. hope it works this time!

Protege said:

ITS UPLOADING (well I shouldn't get to excited yet it might take hours )
Thank u love...ur a legend!!!

Ocean said:
