Video uploading proplem

Can anyone please fix the video uploading glitch already:cry: i used WMV, MOV, and MP4 format and i tested the same file on 2 different websites and it works just fine , so i't's not from our side just saying :)

oh and just to let you know this is a very old glitch and it's random (once i uploaded a video file and got the same "Video encode failed" PM for 3 times 2 files in AVI format and the last one i used WMV and it worked the third time around ) so i guess it's a random glitch.

i've tried to upload a video file for like (8 times during the last 4 days ) but still not working.

I try to upload my videos in WMV format and it always says Failed to Decode whenever it finishes. Can anyone tell me about the issue and how do I solve it.

P.S: i posted this thread long time ago and no one seems to care about it.

So that means that I can't upload any videos in any possiable. Anyway I contact Gamespot so that I can inform them of this problem.

What Video Format do you use for uploading your videos.

I've been having the same problems these last few days and I'm using the exact same settings as I always use. It used to fail infrequently but randomly. Now I'm getting encode failed messages on everything.

I don't even get encode error messages, the blasted things just never display which is totally bizarre considering at least one I upped last month (and deleted in hopes of re-upping properly, fat chance) showed up in search. I've tried MP4, WMV and AVI but none seem to take properly despite YouTube having no qualms. It isn't an issue of filesize, either. It's just bizarre. I get no thumbnail but the description and all posts, just no video.

I'll try and dig up another couple of codec/format combinations but unless I get some assistance I'm just going to give up. It's not worth the headache to annoy people with clips from Field Goal if it's going to be so stubborn. I wish I could remember what I used for my videos that actually worked... see if the uploader chokes on them now, too...

Using Firefox 9.0.1, IE 8. Ideas apart from the aforementioned codec/format juggling or animal/human sacrifices? The later is unfeasible as the carpeting would stain too easily.

No new progress on my end- the new combinations failed like the others did. What's kind of funny is that the video shows up as a searchable item though on my video page my only working option is the delete button. It's weeeird. Link for Taito Memories II Gekan- Field Goal it yields in search. Pulls an invalid video error.

Under the supposition that this is never going to be corrected, is there a way to display videos linked from Youtube in blog entries? If not, no big, I can upload a placeholder image and just link it that way. It's a bit ridiculous, but hey, it's a solution.

Sadly only GS staff can display YouTube videos in their blog posts.

I'm hoping the lack of action on this is because the techies are already working on a replacement to the current video system. Although this is just a theroy because I've seen new video players on GameSpot recently, but a new video player isn't a new encoder, I hope it's part of a larger project.

. Embedding external videos only staff (and maybe ex-staff I guess? =\) can do though to my knowledge, as the necessary tags (namely the embed/iframe tags) are not allowed for normal users.robbristow

Is there anyone taking care of this issue? I'ts about time -- past time actually -- for it to get fixed.

I still can't upload videos. "Video encode failed" is all I get.

Are you sure? can you please tell us how we can do it:P

It's easy, you just need to copy the embed code into a blog/forum and hit post. Make sure you don't hit the preview button that seems to mess it up for some reason.

Edit before even posting: i just rewrote my reply AGAIN because when i hit the Submit button i got an error, see what i mean, work your way around spotters!:(

Thing is GS doesn't want us to post videos like that, unless it is uploaded to GS. Wish it was possible to post youtube videos in our blogs, but no. :( horgen123

You can post youtube videos in your blog. Just check out my profile.

This problem been here for like months now , what they are waiting for? to be on the 6 o'clock news! to finally do something! i don't feel GS respect its users anymore.

we posted angry blogs to complain(me and my freinds like 100's of times ) ,only one replied (sarcastically/but politely ): you can report it to GameSpot's technical support forums , we reported to the tech, they totally ignored us!! i mean C'MON ALREADY with , we're looking at it, or give us some time etc i mean how long to fix the site's most important basics? , we have blogs issues, pics, vids, glitchy Inbox (and yet once again it's finally working after like 6 hours of waiting to read or send PM's, and this happens alot!!! ) and same as with Fuse, i mean don't you think it's time to get us a new and more capable tech's?

i'm so angry and so disappointed , we are gamers, we help building this community , by posting blogs, posts, guides and recording Game-paly vids to help other members , i know it's been a year since someone gave a damn about us members , and please don't even say you care because you don't!! me and a few of my friends here complained alot and posted our asses off , to report issues and give suggestions , but nothing!! so really what is it? you lost your last ounce of respect to us members? and that you don't care anymore? if that's the case, so please and for the love of all gods say it already! and let us move on with our lives and forget all about it. what a sham.

i'm not going to report anything anymore, i have no faith left.

and one last thing..actually it's a funny story, you like funny stories right? the last year or so i worked hard , on recording trophy guides (for GoW 1,2, 3 , Ghost of Sparta, Chains of Olympus, Uncharted 2, White Knight Chronicles 2 , MGS3, MGS Peace Walker and some few other games ) and the best and fastest way to Plat those games, and i even spent over 400+ on WKC and recorded like tons of videos , on how to kill Bosses, get rare drops, find rare temp quests, and how to level your town to max with great high stats, another 150+ on FF VII CC guide to unlock everything, and about 300+ on Persona 3, and when i finally decided to to finally do it, i asked around the spot on how to upload saves (just to include with the PSP guides ) while trying to upload my first MGS Peace walker vid, i found out that we can't upload vids to the site anymore.

so thank you for wasting my time , and i gotta say i'm kinda relieved, because i just realized, why did i even bothered!? replaying through all these games, and put like hundreds of hundreds of hours, to post in a site that doesn't even care!

I can't play any videos on Gamespot and haven't been able to for weeks now. :!: Like everyone says, I can watch videos all day long on other sites just NOT Gamespot.

iframe tags get eaten... What did you do? horgen123

But his reply to mine was when we could not do it... I think. horgen123

This is ridiculous Gamespot. I don't know why you can't just fix the problem and end it already. It doesn't make anything easier to just blow it off and procrastinate. Just fix the uploading problem.

Been trying again and again, and in different formats to uplaod a video. I dont even get "Video encode failed". It just says PLEASE WAIT...........
Its been hours and my video is only 17 seconds long. :( Good old GlitchSpot.
