Uploaded videos "being optimized"
As of right now, theyre still being optimized and I should check back in a few minutes except its already been over twelve hours!
Is this normal? If so, how long will I have to wait?
WTF!!
Could be their encoder froze or ran out of disk space again: http://forums.streetfire.net/showthread.php?t=1602 , http://forums.streetfire.net/showthread.php?t=1840 We have three encoding servers, and one of them filled up. Our home-brew encoding software hadn't anticipated that so it caused a healthy number of videos to sit int he que indeffinatly. We fixed it last week and I beleive the que was largely cleaned out on Friday.
Now the good news is we're buying a new ProCoder server cluster ($15K...ACK!....and people wonder why I don't mod my car anymore) and this should have a better encoding managment features.
Anyhow, check your video and give me a heads up if it's still being optimized, because if it is, then there was a problem with your codec and I'll have to manually transcribe it.
