Uploading video attachment at DVinfo.net

Craig Seeman · January 20th, 2009, 12:33 AM

I tried uploading small video attachments. Under 6MB. I've tried MOV and WMV and frame size 480x360 and smaller. In each case I get an error message regarding the size even though I followed the file size (both MB and Frame).

Is this not working? Is there a format, frame and file size that does work?

Give me a day Craig. We'll try to get something going on this.

Thanks. I'm thinking some of us could post tutorials which may well answer some of the frequent questions as well as ones that are hard to explain.

I was able to do a one minute "tutorial" at 960x600 as an H.264 .mov file and the size was only 6.5MB and it looked great. So at the 47MB and change listed for .mov I could do an intolerably long over 7 minute tutorial. A minute or two is certainly appropriate to answer a forum post in most cases.

This would be a killer feature.

Any progress on this? I have some EX tutorials that I think would clear things up for some people. They're under 10MB. I can encode to any modern codec H.264 .mov, .mp4, WMV9. I'd love to upload but still get the file too big error messages so apparently video upload is still not supported.

Giving this a bump in case Chris hadn't noticed.
I'd love to be able to upload small video clip tutorials under 10 MB.

The short tutorials/Video answers is a GREAT idea! Since I've been mucking about with video, I've leaned how to record stuff at work on the computer to video shorts for tasks such as software packaging/distribution, tools usage, etc., that have proved invaluable. I look forward to seeing what the masters of this craft start posting as answers!

Thanks,
Matt
