Darn it, if I just had my WMM Guide finished, I could point people right to it! Oh well...

Sorry about that. Anyway, what part is not working? Are you able to get your vid to render? That's the File - Save As Movie part. Then you tell it to save on your computer, then pick the setting size (I always recommend 512 kbps which is under the Other Settings thing), then it makes you wait for a bit as it does its rendering thing, then finally it should give you the option to watch your movie now that it's finished.

Are you able to get through all of those steps? If so, and you have a WMV file that you can watch through your own Windows Media Player, it should be able to be uploaded. Now, I've never used YouTube, but I do know Putfile and sometimes it will go through the whole uploading process and just never give you a link. I have no idea why but it's very annoying!

If you happen to have more than one browser on your computer, like Internet Explorer and Firefox or whatever, then I suggest trying to upload using the other one. I couldn't get the usually very reliable Firefox to upload to Putfile but I was able to get IE to do it last time. And some times it goes the other way. If you don't have a second browser, then try one of the other hosting places: http://lostvideo.net/hosting_guide.php and maybe you'll have better luck!

Sorry not to be more helpful!

thanx for the help! I figured it out and i submitted the video but now i have one more question. I have alot of questions being a newbie and all, haha, but i was just wondering once your video is submitted does it take a while for it to actually be posted on the website? I'm just wanting to make sure i did it right cuz i swear this whole process has taken me forever!! *lol* but i can't wait to make more vids.
