So for 4 days now, I've tried uploading to YouTube with the program: 'Power Director 9'. Each time, I can edit fine, but once I get to the producing stage, where I upload to YouTube (after it processes the video of course) it always says I have an incorrect username/password. I've checked my channel in the browser, to make sure I'm entering them in correctly, and I always am! I even tried typing it in, key for key, very slowly, same thing! I've even tried changing my password, and entering it in with the new one, and it still doesn't work! Is anyone else having this problem?

If anyone could shed some light on this, or tell me how to fix it, or both, it would be very much appreciated.

You should contact Cyberlink Support.

I had trouble with uploading to Youtube in PD 9, Cyberlink sent me a new Youtube DLL that fixed the problem.

Hi Firenoah13,

I don’t know if this will apply to your issue, as Cyberlink has stated that part of the problem is that Youtube is always changing it’s API without pre-notifying CL (though I don’t pretend know exactly what all that means.)

I have had the same issue in the past with PD’s uploader, as I also wanted to add my video to the DirectorZone Video Gallery
I entered my correct “User Name” and correct “Password”, and each time the upload failed.

Then on my fourth try, instead of entering my actual channel “user name”, this time I entered the full email address that my Youtube channel is tied to, into the “User Name” box, and then entered my password.
This time my video uploaded fine to Youtube, and an embed also showed up fine on my DirectorZone account.

Don’t know if this will work for you too. Just sharing what I’ve experienced a few times way back in the PD9 days.

API = Application Programming Interface. This is a set of standardised routines that can be called from one program to access the functionality of another. For anyone interested there's further info here. Regards,
