gopro upload

[barossi73]

trying to upload to utube a couple gopro files.is it normal for 15min of hq file upload to be estimated to take 5-6hrs on a satellite conn.?or do I need to beat some sense into the computer?obviously its going to vary a lot,but what would be a typical upload for others?

Sounds about right, what is your max connection speed? Video files take a lot of time to move around.

5-6 hours to upload 15 minutes of video is better than what I get. My upload speed is around 2.25 mbps, 15 minutes of HD vid can take close to 12 hours to upload.

I think in Canada we have some of the slowest upload speeds in the developed world. Not surprising given that our telecommunications industry is an uncompetitive government sanctioned oligopoly comprised of 3 dominant companies.

15 mi n of HQ video from a GoPro can be quite a large file, and upload speeds are generally much slower than download speeds. I doubt there is anything wrong with your computer or internet connection.

ok thanks.looks like the estimate was optimistic anyhow,7hrs so far,and est 4 to go,so worse than I thought,but pretty normal it would seem.computer gets a reprieve this time!

Unless I plan on a big screen demo, I film in standard resolution. For YouTube, that's plenty...upload speeds are much faster.

thanks for the advice.i filmed in hq caus I hate it when I watch other clips and cant make out the trail surface,but will certainly knock the res back a notch or two nxt time

I would film in high res for your viewing pleasure, and either just upload over night, or use some software (GoPro has software available for free) that will reduce the resolution AFTER you film. Though, i would prefer you upload the HD video. Watching helmet cam videos in SD is a bummer, cause you just can't make out the detail to really understand the ride.

I agree,which is why I filmed in hq.however my wife disagrees as I just burned our 8g monthly cap in 1 day!oops....

Oh I hate data caps. Before I moved I had data caps, and it was miserable.
