That's an enormous file. Unless you have a fast connection it would take hours, if not the better part of a day to upload. You might just be choking out. YT used to have a limit of 9 minutes until you had a certain number of subscribers, not sure if that is true anymore. A lot of guys are probably (I would hope) compressing their videos before uploading. YT uses flash. I don't know of a free flash video encoder, but there might be one. I think there are free Mpeg4 or other good video compressors available for free. That will knock your file down to probably 100MB+-. The upload will happen much faster and most likely be successful.
I don't do it this way (I use premiere and export flash), so you need to a little homework to make sure YT accept MP4 uploads or whatever you decide to use, but something like this might make a world of difference for you.
