Have you used any software to edit and re-encode at lower rates? or just uploading raw data? How large is the size of the file you are uploading in MB, not just in length?

My internet provider also has capped upload speeds so things take quite a bit longer to get on youtube, than it takes to watch.

I dont understand how to do any of that my windows isnt offering any kind of real editing or compression.I'm kind of computer illiterate

Which go pro do you have? Do you have dial up or high speed internet?

Hey Stoby,
Ya might want to check out some Utube video on 'up loading' and your 'GoPro Camera'.
It isn't hard might you do have to understand the fundamentals first.
Don't get overwhelmed. Yes uploading a large 5-7 min video can take a long time. And longer if you are uploading HD.
Try a couple of 30 sec up loads first before you attempt a large 7-10 min one.

PM me if you'd like and I'll try and help ya out if I can.

I have the newest gopro and high speed .I tried googling it ,it seems pretty complicated .Switch to one form ,then back to the original??? The programs are free but I don't know to trust them .Which ones are legit?
Gonna try uploading a short clip anyway

[Stoby]

Uploaded a 30 sec clip .each longer one fails . I think i can tackle the editing myself if i can find a user friendly program. Can anyone recommend some of the free software for editing.i just dont want to download a virus or something not user friendly as this is on my laptop so space is limited
Thanks for any help
As an added bonus for help you'll get to see my crashes and cussing on video.

I use microsoft movie maker, it is reasonably user friendly.

The only one I have used is Windows Movie Maker, it takes a little fiddling around to get the hang of it, but once you do it's not bad. Depending what version of windows you use, you could already have it. It came with my Windows Vista Ultimate.
