Ghosty---the problem has been ongoing for the last two weeks. I shut my computer off every night, then start it again in the morning. As far as I know, I haven't changed anything in my procedure. I make the video with my digital camera and save it to a place I can find it on my computer. I open Youtube, click on "my channel", click upload, and fill in the description as it uploads (which generally takes less than two minutes). I specify that it is not intended for children and that I want it to be public, not private. then I click "publish". at this point, the upload goes to either 30% or 50% and then just hangs there.
