Error encountered while uploading a video to youtube
In the light of Umesh's , Sowmya's and other blogs on this topic, the message should have read,
"Duh, did you mean to put that video on the DVD?
Or were you actually trying to upload it to youtube !!!. Hey, that file is too big for us. We like them 100Mb or smaller (thats 1 followed by 8 zeroes).
If you do not know how to take large videos and make them smaller, follow this link.
And please try again. We like folks who try"
Guys, want to suggest some cool messages for this error?

Nice try Sunil. It not only tells you the problem but also gives solutions. Was too long. I think it should be short and sweet. No one bothers to read long text stuff.
Gimme some time and will come up with something. Till then lets wait for copy from others...
Are you offering gift certificates for this one? :-)
@Sunil: Just a word on the way you link up words on web pages.
Its a good practice to have the word/s you link up on web pages to have something to do with the target page. Thats when it becomes sematically right.
eg: In this post you have linked the word "Link" but the target page is google. Search engines normally index pages under words which point to that page. In this case, search engines understand that the word "Link" has something to do with "Google". The same is applicable for linking words like "Click here" etc. You can validate my point by doing a search on google for the word "here". You get "download adobe reader" or "download flash player" as the result. You know the reason now.
So in this case you should have actually said, "If you dont know how to do it, learn how to make large videos and make them smaller" and linked up the phrase "how to make large videos and make them smaller". You then point the link to a page where it actually talks about how to do it or to a google search result page.
Please make this as a practice which will make your links semantically right and also the web a better place to find things.
PS: Please refer to Sowmya's post on Copy Writing in the Web 2.0 era to see the way she has linked up the phrases.
Also please refer to My comment on Vinod's Need to ‘Undo’ on web applications where i have linked up the articles titles. I didnt say "Click here" to read it. :)
Oh btw i once saw this on some site
"Click here to go there" :-)
This was just supposed to tbe a placeholder. Will be more careful next time...
Oh ok.
I just marod the funda. thats all :-)
@Umesh, Link fixed :)
@Sunil i think you still didnt get it right. I was not talking about the url to targeted to. But the term you linked up.
Does the word "link" have anything to do with "cucusoft.com"? does cucusoft talk about how to "link" up things?
You should have ideally linked up the phrase "convert dvd files" to that site.
Or are you saying you got my point but just fixed the url? Call me dumb then :-)
