Usually within 20 minutes the videos are processed and ready. Most of my videos are ready in less than 5 minutes. I upload videos in mpeg or wmv formats. Their FAQ section or somewhere on the upload page they tell you what video formats they accept. Make sure the camstasia outputs the video in a format compatible with the formats they accept.

Yep... something is wrong... Try it it in several formats.... you probably want to do this anyway since YouTube will treat them as different videos and more SERP Juice.

It should be about 10 minutes.

I had this same problem, Produce your video as a .mov (quicktime) and it will process in 5 mins.
