Boosting computer performance?

liquidcool24

So like a week ago I made a youtube and was gonna post a video when I see that It's gonna take 600min.(For the noobs who can't do math, that 10 hours) Is there someway I can boost upload speed long enough to get the video posted?

Note:My computer runs windows XP.

I meant something I don't have to pay money for.

best option, upgrade your internet
If there not giving you what u pay for, sue 'em :)

Best bet would be to compress/encode the video so it is smaller.

Either you have one huge ass video of you have one slow ass internet connection lol. Like optical said, make the video smaller, or you can upgrade your internet. Software cannot increase your upload speed in most cases.

To speed up the computer: use windows readyboost (I tripled my RAM)
To speed up your Internet: move house closer to your exchange or see if a company offer a better speed.
To speed up the upload: compress the file (this may reduce the quality.

Software can't increase your Internet speed. Most consumers get a faster Down Stream (Download) and a slower Up Stream (Upload). The only way to make It faster is to request for a faster upload connection. You may pay more than what you pay for right now.

Yeah, my router connection has to go through two feet of concrete before its gets out of the house. The video is about 1.3GB. If I compressed it any smaller, it would look crappy.

1.3 GB ? You really need to compress that video file. Yes, it will look crappy, but at least It doesn't go over a GB. While YouTube already does the compression during the "Processing" phase, I still recommend compressing it. That way, It will be uploaded faster and process faster.

What I said on my post. Go talk to your ISP if you can get a Upload Speed increase. However, your Internet bills may be added on.

1.3 GB? How long is the video?

My 6 minute COD video was around 500 MB, and that was at 720p. So you really need to do some compressing.

optical

1.3gb and 7 minutes? Sounds near raw to me. Probably best to search for some guides online for compressing it and reducing its resolution.
