If you upload in a quality close to UTube's display it will encode quickly. If you upload some massive file, you are basically wasting time. Before they did the HD, I'd encode vids @ 512K iirc and they would be done very quickly. Plus they upload fast.
In other news, gay ass Warner Bros and the RIAA stripped out the audio on a ton of my vids as I had music in them. WTF. Like anyone is going to steal music tracks by ripping them out of RC vids w. talking and engine noises in the background. F'ing lame ass DRM.
I wanna go pirate some Warner music since they are being so fraking lame.
