How are you uploading? Via the YouTube website, or through other programs like YouTube advertiser or TubeMogul?
If it is on the website, I would have thought that it gives you some more info on why it is having an error. If you are using a program to upload though, the errors they give are not always very specific, and even when I am uploading videos sometimes and get an error, it is hard to tell what the problem is.
Generally, I find that my errors stem from:
- My tags being too long or having too many tags. Try to cut the tags down, maybe even put just one tag, see if it uploads and if it does, add more tags.
- TItle might be inappropriate, containg words like "sexy" or "porn" sometimes results in my getting errors when uploading.
Hope this helps!
