Currently many failed conversions from Youtube
May 18th, 2012
I just wanted to let you know that Youtube is currently blocking a massive amount of videos to get converted by the Media Converter conversion servers.
If you get multiple “Conversion failed” errors please do not retry immediately. This wont make the situation any better. Youtube blocks IP addresses that are requesting too many videos per hour. As you can imagine there are tens of thousands per day from the conversion servers. I hope the situation calms down during the next 24 hours.
Thank you for your understanding!

Yeah, well here is how we can avoid this problem. Look below the Like/Dislike Bar of a YouTube video. If it has anything written under there that involves a song or TV station, that video will most likely get the copyright message.
has the situation calms down? cause it’s already june
