Hey guys,

I just finished making my 2 year Surgerversary video. It wound up being much longer - 1 1/2 hours long - than I expected.

I didn't know if I should upload the video as one long video or break it up into 20 - 30 minute segments in a playlist.

So I thought I'd ask you guys what you preferred?

Thanks for taking my poll.

I will definitely be watching your video, no matter how you break it up. But please please please, if you break it into multiple segments, make a playlist of it. I usually watch youtube videos on my Roku and finding and clicking through multiple videos on that interface is a PAIN!

I personally cannot sit there that long. 10-20 is good. Thats movie length, and I can barely sit through that unless it is extremely gripping.

Thanks Jamie, I too like a playlist - sorta like the way a jukebox works. I play my movies the same way. Load up several on my computer and just let'em run all day. I use movies the way some people use the radio - as something in the background to casually listen to. Unless it's one I haven't seen before - then I have to sit still and watch.

living55, thanks for the info. My intention was not really for someone to sit through the whole thing, but have it play in the background sorta like the radio while working around the house - since there's really not much to keep your eyes busy.

10 minutes each

Thanks, Qtpie28

I would have watched the whole thing in a single video.

Thanks heynowkc,

My plan was to post it as 1 video and also to break it up into 6 or 8 short videos. But my computer crashes when it tries to make 1 long video. So I"m creating 15 minute videos and putting them in a play list. It's taking about 2 hours per 15 minute video to encode and upload to Youtube.

Finally got everything uploaded.

Here is a link for those that like their videos in a playlist.

Below are all the videos, for those that would like to stay watch them without going to Youtube.

I will watch all of these as soon as I get home today. I already watched the part 1 & 2 before the others were updated. Thanks for posting. It's great to hear your stories!
