--Start Howto--
Of course, the biggest part of any video website is, well, the videos! But sometimes, some people stuff-up the upload process somehow, and all they end up with half-finished videos with half the crap, and bad ratings. So, in the intrest of protecting other Youtubers, I prent you with, a Howto on uploading a video!

Requirements:
A Youtube account
A video file (AVI, WMV recommended, MOV not recommended)

Reccomendations:
A very fast internet connection

Method:
1. If you haven't already, sign into your Youtube account
2. Click upload on the frontpage
3. Fill in the required fields (title, description, category and tags)
4. Fill in the optional settings (privacy settings, date and location, sharing options)
5. Click 'Upload a video...'
6. Browse for a video to upload then click 'Upload video'
7. Wait (NOTE: Don't panic if its uploading slower than your download speed, this is normal)
8. Once its finished uploading, you'll need to wait 10-30 mins while Youtube converts the video into a .flv file

But after that you're done!
