i worked on a social networking site that also had video uploading and sharing. we implemented a real time uploading system that displayed a progress bar/feedback mechanism that:
- displayed a visual horizontal progress bar along with a % indicator that updated as the upload progressed - a real-time estimate of when your upload would be done - it would change appearance once the upload was completed it was done as a pop up window so the window could be minimize allowing you to upload your video in the background while you continued to use the site. as long as your didn't surf away from the site itself or close the browser, the session wasn't detached. this mechanism seemed to work well and it conveyed plenty of useful information.
