I'm having problem #8, but with re-uploading a file that I had previously uploaded. I would prefer to not delete the file and start again, but I don't know how else to get around this issue.

i have uploaded a video twice. both times it never starts to convert. ive been stuck on a one minute wait for conversion for a couple of hours.

vimeo.com/3441105

The video I uploaded has been waiting for one minute for conversion for a few hours. vimeo.com/3440329

I have also been waiting for the video to convert for one minute... for a few hours. vimeo.com/3439432

I tried uploading the same video twice (then it was just stuck at finishing... for hours) so I closed and started uploading again, and now it just goes to the failed page vimeo.com/3443480
i didn't do anything different. same compression settings as other vids, and nothing new... any ideas why this is happening?

Hi How are you ?

I upload a video but its only 1:46 .

when its work its to slow ???? why

I have been trying for two times to upload a video and the two times i have failed. I don´t know the reason why this is happening i have been uploading videos other times with the same procedure and i didn´t have any problem.....

Well just uploaded an HD video (around 200MB), went through the finishing process....went to the video and got the message that the video had an issue and couldn't be uploaded.

Resolution was 1280X720 in Divx format (uploaded one last week with no issue). An average bitrate of 5000 kpbs with 320 mp3 sound.

vimeo.com/3443024

Yeah I've noticed the uploading completely freezing, my first video went through alright but i tried a second one and it froze both times once at 50% and the second at 60%...close but no cigar. I'll try again later tonight when traffic dies down a bit hopefully.

I have tried uploading numerous times (from both PC and Mac) and have been unsuccessful. I updated my flash player, tried both normal uploading and even trying the basic uploading page....nothing works. It just freezes after a few megabytes has been uploaded. I have tried on both IE and Firefox...nothing. It quite frustrating and I even have the Vimeo Plus. The compression is the same (used the one from vimeo.com/2051588 - actually used the droplet he provides).

Please help!

ok, so i wasn't the only one having trouble uploading!

I have three videos that have been converting for 5 hours and now say that they will be converted in one minutes for the past 90 minutes.

here are the 3 videos

vimeo.com/jodi/videos

uploaded this video and it has been saying it will convert in one minute for over an hour?

vimeo.com/3440780

Upload usually stops at 2%. Now I´ve done it, but audio is out of sync and flash conversion is not good.

where´s the old vimeo? the vimeo I knew?? Is vimeo only good for 'plus' users now?

uploaded a video, and the audio is all skippy and jumpy. in the original .mov file, the audio is fine....also tried the vid on 3 seperate browsers..all have the same issue...whats going on?

Hi Daniel, (can't find my original post)

you replied:

Hi Aliya,

Have you tried uploading from IE or the basic uploader?
"

Problem is, I'm downloading from a mac, and only have access to mac (im in Japan), so no explorer. I have tried the basic uploader, with the same result. However, I neglected to mention that there was one time (out of maybe, 20) that the download did complete, but then when I tried to play the video, it appeared as a black screen.

any further help you could give would be appreciated.

thanks,

aliya

I've posted the same video in HD (960x540, .m4v, ~130MB)) 3 times and it has frozen at 99% everytime. I've just successfully posted it at 640x360 (runtime is 3.39, filesize ~43 MB).

Of interest is that the tags I submitted indicate that 3-4 videos with certain tags exists (eg. CAML), whereas there is only 1 video - the new version I've uploaded and awaiting processing) - does this mean the 'failed' versions are still residing as incomplete files on vimeos servers somewhere? Or are the tags registered in a datbase that points to failed uploads?
Very frustrating.
I have previously managed to upload HD video, but never this one!

I uploaded a normal AVI video.
vimeo.com/3379570

5 Days from now, and still not working.
It just says that it is uploading .. ??

Thats pretty long .
How am I going to submit the video to my school on time?

vimeo.com/3434404 is really out of sync. I tried to reconvert & re-upload several times but did not work.

What we can do about it?

Hi, I try to upload video, the load bar arrive at 98/99% in a few seconds and does'nt finish upload. Wath's the problem?
Thanks

Hi,

Several problems:

1) The last second, or even half second, is shaved off the video after upload... I am a musician and I keep the original video pretty 'tight' to save bandwidth / space etc. But after uploading, the last half second is missing from the video, giving a very strange ending to my musical piece!

2) I have uploaded the same video now a couple of times, and once uploaded (sometimes it got stuck with the word 'finishing') it stopped playing at exactly 03:00, with blocks of pink colour. Now, the newly uploaded version freezes with 5 seconds to go, again with a pink blocks on the screen.

The original video is a wmv file, and the codec information is as below (I hope the formatting works out OK).

FILE_NAME 01 - MSR - LAK.wmv
FILE_SIZE 84,247,613
CONT_AUDIO_STREAM_COUNT 1
CONT_BASETYPE ASF (.WMA/.WMV)
CONT_TOTAL_BITRATE 0
VIDEO_BITRATE 1915
VIDEO_CODEC_NAME WMP v9 (VC-1 Simple/Main)
VIDEO_CODEC_STATUS Codec Status Undetermined
VIDEO_CODEC_TYPE WMV3
VIDEO_DURATION 5:31.441
VIDEO_SAR 1.250
VIDEO_SIZE_X 720
VIDEO_SIZE_Y 576
AUDIO_BITRATE 160
AUDIO_BITRATE_TYPE CBR
AUDIO_CHANNEL_COUNT 2
AUDIO_CODEC 0x0161 (WMA v2)
AUDIO_CODEC_STATUS Codec Status Undetermined
AUDIO_MPEG_STREAM_ID 0x01
AUDIO_SAMPLE_RATE 44100

Ok this is weird. I've never encountered this before but. I uploaded my video fine. Converted fine. But when I go to play the video it stays at a black screen and plays scrambled audio and plays the video really fast. Like it jumps from 0 to however much has loaded in a second.

Hi, i ve sent a message last week. Uploading works a few minutes or a few seconds and after it stops. I've updated flash player, firefox, tried all the basics uploaders, nothing happens, and my connection is steady. All my settings are the same.
Thanks

Hi, I'm having problems with upload a HD video.
Whatever format I upload in at 1280x720 it will reach 100% then say "Finishing" then do nothing, no matter how long it's left. I've mainly tried 3ivX (as .avi) with various settings (which work in 640x370), but also divx (as .avi) & MPEG2. I've tried with sound & without. I've tried the basic uploader it and gets to 99% saying not long left then stops. I'm using Firefox3 and have also tried IE7.
Any ideas? Thanks,
Jeff

i've had great success with uploading hd and sd videos in the past. but now, the upload moves at a very slow pace. The video I'm uploading now is a 300MB HD file and it says that the upload time is 25 hours. I have left it alone because I need the file uploaded. It still says that it's going to take 2 hours even though it's at 14 percent. It's been uploading now for 5 hours.

The upload use to move at around 1MB per minute or so. now, 1MB of upload takes around 10 mintues.

Nothing has changed with my internet connection and i believe my flash is current. I've followed the recommend upload instructions (and like i've said, had great sucess in the past). I've tried Safari and Firefox and received the same result.

I uploaded a video. The audio plays fine but the video is too fast.
