Google Video Uploader, cont'd

After three days of being sidetracked, the standalone uploader login problem was fixed as of yesterday evening. I started the upload of the Columbus Day Parade video before going to bed last night, and it just finished a few minutes ago.

I think it sat idle much of the night, as it wasn't even halfway when I got up this morning.

It can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few days before large/long videos come online there. This one, the largest I've ever uploaded, is just under two gigabytes, and the video of the parade is 50 minutes long.

For anyone who's interested, though, the title is "Columbus Day Parade Worcester 10-12-08". If you search Google Video for it and find it before I do, maybe I can buy you a coffee sometime.

Update: Well, here's the Columbus Day Parade video... I'm really disappointed, though. It's got breakup and the quality is terrible. I had forgotten how terrible the quality is on Google Video, and why I'd been using YouTube since this past May... it was because YouTube now has a "high quality" option over there, and it really is nice.

Now, ...you'd think that since Google owns YouTube that Google Video would be AT LEAST as good.

Go figure.
