How to upload videos to Nicovideo.jp
February 2, 2008
Nicovideo.jp is as many of you know the equivalent of youtube, but for Japan. It has comments scrolling over video and is more anonymous, just like many japanese want it to be. It also allows for longer video and higher quality than youtube, which is nice since youtube can’t even do 16:9 videos right!
This post will describe how to upload videos to nicovideo.jp!
-
Step 1: Make a nicovideo.jp account
-
Step 2: Go to smilevideo.jp and log in with your nicovideo.jp account information. The top box is your email and the bottom one is your password. You will be taken to a page that looks somewhat like this:
-
Step 3: Press the link called “動画の新規アップロード” which I have outlined in red. You will be taken to a page which has an EULA and settings for your video. You can now chose a video (DivX/XviD/MPEG1/MPEG2/WMV max 100Mb and FLV max 40Mb), if it’s 4:3 (fullscreen) or 16:9 (widescreen).
-
Step 4: Press the bottom button when you are done doing that and press OK to confirm that you want to upload the video. Wait a bit until the video is uploaded.
-
Step 5: You will be taken to an encoding queue after you’re done uploading the video. There are 139 people in the queue as I’m waiting:
-
Step 6: Chose a frame to represent your video, enter a title and a description and a category in the drop down box and then click the button.
You’re done!
Please upload a lot of moe videos, but be sure to not upload duplicates, ok?

When I press the upload button and then ok, the website seems to be “sending request to smile video” indefinately with no sign of upload progress. Do you know what the problem could be?

Are you sure that it is not uploading the video? It usually takes a really long time for large files.
I have also had some problems with certain web-browsers, such as Safari, that have trouble uploading files through web-forms. Maybe you can try another browser?

Are you sure that you are logging in with first your EMAIL (xxx@xxx.xxx) and then your password?
A lot of people try to log in with their username, which does not work.
Smilevideo.jp was also down some hours last weekend.

It is really strange that it doesn’t work. What the heck.

so it worked this time :) thank you for your guide
but i still have one question… how do i add tags to my video? atm its only アニメ

Click the red link next to the tags and then write in the tags you want. Separate them with spaces to add more than one at once. You can lock some tags by clicking the “star” to the right of them in the list. When you are done adding tags, click the bigger button below.

Can you tell me which catagory is which, like when submitting it to a category, because my Nico Nico Douga account got suspended, and I think it’s because I uploaded a video to the wrong category…

It might be easier for you if you change the language to Spanish. English-speaking people can usually guess which categories are which: http://moemania.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/nicocatspain.png

Can anyone tell me if there’s a problem with my upload?
Progress bar at the bottom of the screen is loading fairly quickly, but it stays at full and doesn’t load any further.
Is it still loading,? Or has the page crashed?
Sorry bout this, I’m still a newbie when it comes to Nico Video……
Thanks in advance!!

-_-” Uh… ok.
It just sent me back to the SMILE VIDEO main page ……
no message or anything, it just switched……

Never mind! It is working fine now!
October 25th, 2008 at 5:57 pm
You usually just have to wait until it’s done, haha :)
I wonder what people are uploading though~
