Youtube question re: "vid still being processed"

Does it make any difference if I play a newly uploaded video WHILE it is still being "processed?" The line at the top says the vid quality will improve when vid has been fullt processed."

But the vid quality does NOT improve -- it stays crappy. Is that because it might be better NOT to play it WHILE it is still being "processed?"

Please advise.

Also, how long will it take for the vid quality to "improve" (because processing will be complete)? Minutes? Hours?

Was it crappy before you uploaded it? If you start with a
crappy quality video it won't get any better.

I haven't had my videos get crappier. You should probably wait until it's finished being processed though, it might be ok when it's finished. It can sometimes take a little while to process, will depend on the size of the video. Shouldn't be hours though.

I just uploaded another one + it got a LOT crappier (even sound got crappier).

Never had this problem before.

BTW, here's what the message says...

"This video is still being processed. Video quality may improve once processing is complete."

Uploaded it about an hour ago. Still crappy. Am I allowed to post a link here so someone could take a look? Vid has nothing to do with anything anyone here would buy -- so this is not some ruse to promote something on this forum!

Just want some advice on fixing this.

Aha! Here's a way to (maybe?) see if the vid is still "being processed."

I clicked on the "choose thumbnail" tab -- and there are STILL no thumbnails to choose from! -- so... the vid must not be fully processed yet!

That's a handy little youtube tip -- yes?

If you click on your name and then 'my videos' is it showing in there? I know once one of mine said it was still processing but it took such a long time and so I searched for it and found it and it was all done and working fine, yet back on my upload page it said it was still processing.

Yup -- thumbnail choices are now visible -- and video DID improve (sound too) -- I'll give it another hour + see if it gets (even) better.

So I guess it just takes longer than I thought.

Thanks

Just for good measure, here is another problem I had with Youtube:

Uploaded a 5 min. video, processing finished but the replay would stop after 01:20.
After a while, it stopped at 01:46. About 24 hours later, it played the entire video without stopping.

I guess there must have been something going on in the background even though the video had allegedly already been fully processed.

It certainly is far from instantaneous.
