I was uploading a massive video file to youtube for the past few days, it is 80 gigabytes, length 1:30:40

now it's finished but I'm concerned it might have been damaged in the upload process? I was stupid for doing this but when it was 70 percent done, I tried downloading stuff, and I had a ton of programs open, and Firefox froze up and almost crashed. After my PC didn't respond at all for the next 15 minutes, I gave in and exited everything I had open besides Firefox, and Firefox still wouldn't respond. After another 20 minutes or so, it finally un-froze itself and seemed to resume uploading. Task Manager told me the upload speed went down to 0.00 mbps while it was frozen, but shot back up to 7 mbps once it resumed

When the file reached 100 percent uploading, it got stuck at 59 percent in the processing, it was stuck at 59 percent for 5 hours, I gave up and figured I had to re-upload. I closed Firefox, and came back hours later to my PC and found the video was uploaded to my channel and seemed OK.

But should I re-upload it though? was it damaged?

80 gig? is that 1 hour 30 mins 40 seconds?
you want to process it into flv/mkv 2000kbps-3000kbps @1080p for youtube. and you will likely find the file is less than 3 gigs to upload.

80gig is bigger than a 4k blueray and utterly pointless to upload, as youtube will convert it into a similar format that i already described and will dump about 90% of the upload with next to zero quality loss.

use an app like handbreak to convert it.

I don't think I asked "how to make big files smaller"
I am well versed in the art of video rendering / conversion, I've been using Vegas Pro for years. it is 1 hour 30 minutes 40 seconds (youtube says 41 seconds though) and yes, 80 gigabytes.
also, 80 gb is well within the limit set by youtube at 125 gb

even though this has nothing to do with the thread, if you must know, I rendered the video game gameplay at 2714x1526 at 235 average mbps and this still wasn't as much quality as I wanted, because I did see a very noticeable amount of compression artifact. there's 3 rounds of compression I forced the footage to go through, first through nvidia shadowplay, then through sony vegas pro, then through youtube, so the final video on youtube is miles behind the actual raw footage as far as quality but I guess I did the best I could.

I skimmed through the video, and I didn't find any problems....

I do plan to watch the whole thing, but damn, could damage to the final video really be hiding in a very specific part of it?

Oh and Also, how exactly will I know if some part of the video was damaged? would it be obvious?

it was a legit question, as i just do 1080p 3000kbps and its good enough for me due to the fact youtube compresses the video anyway. so it seemed overkill... but hey if thats what you need its what you need...

The problem here is that Youtube will take your 235mbps video and convert it down to around 10mbps, since they are not going to send an 80GB file to everyone who watches your video. There's no point in uploading a file at that bitrate, since they will throw away over 90% of the detail anyway. Uploading at a higher bitrate than Youtube converts to is a good idea, but you probably won't see much benefit in the final output from anything more than around 20-25mbps at that resolution. You would only have to upload around a 10 or 15GB file, and could have it done overnight, instead of having it bog down your internet connection for a few days while you're using the computer.
