The reason it didn't show up right away is because the video is being reviewed and transcoded for inclusion on the site. It'll take a bit. The contact link is going up right now. Hello Stellar_dust,

Sounds like your video uploaded correctly. The reason it didn’t show up right away is because the video is being reviewed and transcoded for inclusion on the site. It’ll take a bit. The contact link is going up right now.

I submitted a video excerpt to the website the weekend after the book came out, and although the page has reverted back to "Have the book? Get an assignment!" my video isn't there, and I never got an email or anything telling me it didn't fit requirements, was unapproved, etc. Should I resubmit? If so, how? (username is stellardust at makemeamerica.com, and if it helps, this was my assignment: Page 187, (Insert: Stephen Speaks for Me), paragraph 5, sentences 1-6 Starts with "Let," ends with "Deb.")

Sorry!! I guess I just got too excited by the whole thing. Thanks!

I can get as far as selecting my file and hitting the "upload" button, but then nothing happens. Wish there were contact information on the site somewhere so that I could figure out what the problem is (do I need a certain type of movie file? does the file have to be a certain size? etc.) Great site – just wondering how to successfully upload a video to the “videobook” section.

I’ve had a difficult time getting “Köln” in there. Neither "Cologne" not "Köln, Germany" or "50676, Germany" worked. Finally I succeeded if I select “Inside US” and enter “Koeln”. Also, UTF-8 support has gone away. :-( It was in there before! Other than that, great great page! I love it! Flash-less, yet gorgeous. Great functionality and gimmicks. A++!
