Is anyone else having trouble getting Posterous to successfully convert their application video? We've tried uploading .m4v, .mp4, .mov (h264) and .wmv with no luck (we've waited over a day for the conversion to happen, and all have either failed or are still "in progress").
Obviously, the video is still playable if you click the download link, but it feels like that's a pretty bad experience and I'd love to have it in the flash player like the example videos (for example: http://dsiroker-private.posterous.com/private/FCAGetIemw).

We've been seeing the same behavior for mp4 with various codecs pretty much all day. Perhaps a new all-time record in YC application submissions? YouTube lets you do private uploads also, by the way.

Just had the same problem. .mov wouldn't work but .avi did the trick.
Thanks for the hint Tzunamitom

.mov was not working yesterday for me, but .avi seemed to work ok (5 min conversion time).

tens of minutes for .mpg conversion
