"Preparing video for YouTube has failed" error message
I have uploaded 200+ garmin virb elite videos to YouTube (pjammcycling.com). I have been experiencing a high frequency of error messages when attempting to post to YouTube. My standard process is (a) import the video from my virb, (b) edit the video, (c) right click on the edited file and select upload (note - with the latest software modification it is referred to as "share"), (d) click "share" (upload). With a good upload, the program goes through 2 steps: (1) "preparing video", then (2) actually uploading the video. I am getting these error messages at the first step, i.e., "preparing video", so this is not a YouTube issue. I get the same error message when trying to "export" to my hard drive ("there was an error exporting the video". These are NOT huge videos - ranging from 20 seconds to 5 minutes. I am getting about a 50% failure rate on the desktop and about 30% on the Laptop. I have Windows 7 on my high quality desktop and laptops (both Dell). My videos all include gps overlays. I called Garmin help line and they suggested I post here. Any help would be great. The VIRB is of course a great "camera", but of little use if it's data cannot be uploaded. Thank you for any productive assistance you can provide.
