Yeah. If that's kilobits rather than kilobytes, I guess it would take about 4-5 hours to upload each gigabyte.
And I'd imagine that anyone who is very concerned with maximum quality in high resolution is going to want to do it themselves. Or, as Adrian says, people who want to play with compression effects. But for most standard web video purposes, I'd imagine people are going to be distributing approx 10 minute videos - and uploading h264 versions that are already compressed to a few hundred meg or even smaller. And then they'd put in their own personalised settings into Heywatch to transcode to a number of different formats - so this way they spend 15+ mins exporting one file, then 30-45 mins uploading it - then the rest is taken care of for them - instead of spending hours exporting & uploading each extra format.
