I've been waiting hours for YouTube to process my video. Does it get backed up sometimes or do I need to try uploading again? I'm used to free Vimeo letting me wait a long time but not YouTube.

The last few times I tried to upload to youtube it was a real mess. Something kept "failing" each time.

So I purchased a "plus" membership at vimeo and things really go well. They have a desktop uploader that I've been using and it goes real slick each time without even having to log onto vimeo.

I think theres a similar service in beta on youtube, but you need to have java to use it.
