    My video gets uploaded and can be viewed, but an hour later the Upload page still says it's being transcoded; and when I tire of this and click on some other Web page, it warns me that my details have still not been saved. Sure enough, they're not present with the video; so I re-enter them. Either this is an outright bug =or= the process takes a VERY long time to finish even after the video itself is finished & available. If the former, it would be nice to have it fixed; if the latter, perhaps the upload page should show how much longer it has to go and where in the process it is. (However, I will never have more than a very few videos, so these suggestions should probably should not given much weight.)

    Some of the transcoding does take awhile especially with large files.
    One of the odd issues is that when an upload fails the info entered does not come back. SO in the past when making an entry/upload , especially those with serious details and links. I copy it and save to drafts in a "scratch" email draft copy. That way when & if it fails I will not have to re-enter all the details again just copy and paste. I do this with tags title etc, almost as a force of habit so as save time and work if there is a power loss or a bug in the upload process on the vimeo end or on my end of the uploading.

    Also i noted that if you upload a video and want to replace it the info tags title etc will remain even if the video is replaced.

    Also note you must leave the window "as is" (having other windows to go to and not have the upload window "on top" so if you click a link you will interrupt your upload ) until the upload process bar is done and click finish upload to have the information you entered as part of the vimeo url if you do not click finish upload the title etc will not appear.

    Thanks for info. Why doesn't the Upload window inform the user of this? (Rhetorical question.)
