Game video update 10/1

It's been a frustrating 2 1/2 weeks. Both YouTube and Vimeo (I signed up for a 1-month subscription) have rejected the latest game videos. The only reasons would be: 1) length (35-40 minutes), 2) poor connection (my iMac is ancient by current standards), or 3) music copyright.

I've always been aware of the way YouTube deals with music copyright. That's why I use music that is available free online. That always does the trick, and YouTube doesn't reject our previous videos. But for some reason, I think this is the current problem. Why?

I'm currently loading a shorter (highlights only) video that has no music on it. Right now, Vimeo is allowing the upload beautifully. It's up to 10% already after just 5 minutes, just gobbling it up. I'll try this on YouTube later; I can't test YT right now because I'm loading football videos for work.

If it is music that suddenly has become the problem, it's fine. As long as I don't have to cut videos to 15 minutes or less. That's a pain in the okole, having more videos to load, more risk of disconnections.
