Post your youTube storm video here

[Mike Hollingshead]

Well since I can't change the title of that other thread I started I'll just make a new thread for this. It'd be cool to have a thread with some of our youTube video links. I know there are many on here that put footage on there.

After viewing youTube quite a bit for the first time yesterday(had viewed some before but not much) I figured I'd have to toss something on there.

So here is what I have on there. It's almost 10 minutes long, but very cut up from trying to fit parts of several chases on there.

Here is the promo for my Eastern fury collection of tornado videos. I plan on soon adding a compilation of my own tornado video set to music.

I would suggest entering the term "tornado" in the youtube search engine, then clicking on most recent. There is a lot of great stuff out there by chasers and the general public.

The Storms of 2006 is rapidly approaching completion and it is looking great! We have over 50 contributors, 10 chapters and a full 2 hours of video packed into the DVD. This is one that everyone that contributed should be proud of!

This is an early trailer that I just posted on YouTube:

Here's a small sample!

Hi Mike

I explored YouTube in October for the first time and must say it's a very cool and addicting thing. There are so many stunning and amazing videos of severe weather events from around the globe that I now must check it nearly on a daily basis. My very interest is in big hail. The most frequently search term I therefore use is "hail storm" and then I sort by "Date added" to get the most recent ones.
I share the best ones (with big hail) with my swiss chaser community, if you want to browse them:
http://www.meteoradar.ch/forum/showthread.php?id=3656 (scroll down to the 12th of october to get to the YouTube videos)

Of course I'm also interested in other severe weather videos. The most spectacular and best ones I put here:
http://www.meteoradar.ch/forum/showthread.php?id=4407

I'm sorry if I missed the meaning of this thread, because I have no own video on YouTube. But I thought you might be interested. If you are curious about my own chaser videos, you can find two of them here:

I decided to throw the Throckmorton, TX Tornado from April 7th, 2002 up on youtube.

I've got a couple things up as well...

A couple short, not very impressive clips...

I also made a little trailer thing for my not yet finished DVD. It's nothing special either, but figured I would add something to the thread since I did have some videos posted.

I don't have any videos up at youtube, but I have done some time lapse animations of webcam images on August 20-21 2006. I list the best ones(in my opinion) I've done:

Problems uploading video to YouTube

I've got ten storm chase music video sample clips listed on google video:

http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=robert+prentice

However, I've been unable to upload any of them onto YouTube. I've tried various file sizes (725 KB to 13 MB), formats (mpg, wmv), and computers but to no avail. Their page page says "uploading", but the upload never completes. I've tried uploading for 12 hours straight, but to no avail. Their customer support is virtually non-existent. Very frustrating. Anyone else had a similar problem with YouTube?

YouTube was recently bought out by Google, so perhaps this will be a moot point soon?

 

[Andy Wehrle]

I've had a similar problem. Am I right to guess what happens is the upload starts but then gets hung up somewhere (the red bar stops moving to the right) and would just stay there forever if you didn't intervene? You're right about their customer support, they either ignore me or send me a copy of the same generic FAQ that's already on their website.

What software/encoding are you using? I'm using Pinnacle Studio Version 9.4, 320x240, I tried .WMV but ran into that problem a lot and so far I've had better results with .mpg.

You've seen a "red bar" during your uploads? I can't even get that far! I've never made it past the "Uploading..." text message embedded within the gray box. The upload never completes and I must intervene. My web browser initiallysays "transferring" and then says "done" about 5-15 seconds into the upload.

I'm using Roxio Movie Maker (circa 2003). I've tried MPG and WMV files and neither will upload to YouTube. I've had no problem uploading to Google Video.

YouTube Video

One of my video clips is posted on YouTube. Here's the URL:

[Andy Wehrle]

Bobby, my only possible solution would be to try Studio if you have it, and/or make your videos as close as possible to the specifications recommended by Youtube. They have given me a lot of trouble and each of my videos has taken several tries to upload properly.

By the way I don't have any storm stuff on there yet, just a bunch of railfan stuff, but that should eventually change.

I was finally able to post all ten of my video clips onto YouTube (and Yahoo) by using Microsoft Internet Explorer instead of Mozilla Firefox. Strange!

Thanks for all the suggestions.
