Hey guys, i was just pondering new faster ways uploading to the site, unfortunately i didn't come up with any but i did have a good idea which might save you uploading bloody massive files. ok so youtube.com is basically the best quality you are going to get right? so if you have already gone through the pain of uploading that 2.5GB video file to youtube that for some reason won't upload to youngdirectors then you may as well use the file that youtube converted and is what you actually see when you watch a video. Most web videos are compressed into the FLV format which is a very small file size, so an easy way to upload video on your youtube account to your youngdirectors account is:
1 download Firefox (web browser)
www.mozilla.com/firefox2 install video downloading add-on for firefox
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/30063 read the instruction to the new add-on to find out how to download videos (you will automatically go to this when you have restarted firefox after the instalation)
4 go to youtube and go to your video (make sure you have clicked the HQ button) then basically click the litlle arrow in the image and select the video.
5 whens its done downloading you can upload it here in probably less the time it would have taken if you were to upload the original film.
Both Firefox and the media downloading add-on are available for PC & MAC
