Re how long it can take to upload video. As with most things to do with computing, it depends on where you or what start with. Probably also what type of Computer you have. I use a fairly modern Mac and tend to use unedited film from my Still Digital Camera that does Video (a Lumix). Depending on the length of clip, I have been known to set the upload going and then go to bed to find it finished not long before I got up. I have recently restricted my clips to between 2 and 3 minutes and even these can take over an hour or so to upload to Utube. I do have a Virgin Media Broad Band connection. Hope this helps a bit.
