  5. I added a video, but it is no longer here. What happened?
    Your video could have been deleted because it was not educational or because you infringed copyrights or other terms of use. Educational videos are those that teach such as tutorials or lectures. We do our best to notify all members whose videos are deleted. Please email us any time to inquire about your video.

  8. What is the best format for uploading?
    MPEG4 (Divx, Xvid) format at a resolution of 320x240 with an MP3 audio compression works well. If you do this there is less chance of an error taking place when your video is compressed to the FLV format.

  9. How long will my video take to upload?
    Depending on your connection speed and the size of the video, it can take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours to upload a video. Generally, if you have a high-speed Internet connection you can expect the upload to take somewhere between 1-5 minutes for every 1MB. However, the experience is different for every user because of the variation in connection speeds.
