The last video I uploaded was a 24 min video that was 16 GB it took about 40 min at my college.
Iv uploaded a 3 min video at my house took 6 hours.
My local college gives community members access to all there facilities, gym, computer labs, library ext... You just get a community user I.D. instead of a student I.D. which has log in info for the computers, or just ask the "Dude" next to you to log you in because you forgot your info.. This always works.
The great thing is at a college there are lots of computers...
Ill go there with any where from 3 to 6 videos to upload and use 4 computers to have 4 videos uploading at the same time, Iv uploaded 70GB in about an hour a task that would take a week on my home WiFi
HERE IS THE IMPORTANT STUFF !!!!!!!
A thumb drive can not hold a file larger than 4GB in its "factory" configuration or format = (
fat32)
To get your thumb drive to hold a file as large as you want you have to re-configure it to
ExFAT - this is a easy normal thing to do; it takes less than 2 minutes.
History lesson - when thumb drives were first made no one thought there would ne a need to hold a file larger than 4 GB FAT32, jump ahead a few years ExFAT was created to fix this initial over sight.
WATCH THESE VIDEOS TO RE-FORMAT YOT THUMB DRIVE TO ExFAT
Mac:
PC:
You should be all set after that point to put larger files / videos on your thumb drive ONE LAST IMPORTANT THING When uploading the video to youtube:
FIRST: Copy the video file from your thumb drive on to the computer that you are using. So the file that you are uploading is on the computers Hard Drive not your Thumb Drive
By doing this the computer will upload directly from its Hard Drive to YouTube which is Fast versus the computer having to pull the data from your thumb drive through itself and then upload the info to youtube which is Slower.
last little tip
I like to delete every thing off the colleges computers after i am done uploading.
Any questions just ask Im happy to help
