Is there a faster way to post video?

Ok. Got those two. Very cool! Thanks for sharing!

Glad you got them. There were also a few more pictures in the folder.

That was the perfect river run.

In order to upload faster you would need to run through editing software to knock down the raw file sizes. I edit and save everything in a h.264 format (technically mpeg4). Youtube/vimeo will take multiple types of files i.e.-wmv, mpeg, mov, mpeg4, flv (usually standard android mobile phone video types)...but those are all codecs. The difference between truly raw HD video and a "codeced" or edited HD video of the same exact thing will be considerably smaller in size (depending on your settings). If you're uploading 3-4 minute videos to youtube/vimeo it shouldn't be more than 3-500MB. If your into the multiple gig realm....well, you're gonna have to wait a while.

I only save to H.264 so I can archive edited HD footage without re-editing later. I have all footage complete in individual files but my 6T of storage is going away quickly. I need to start looking a petabyte storage.

Thanks for the tips.

This is the raw video from the GoPro. I just imported into iMovie, so I'll cut it down, then upload. That should work better.
