Hello Karl

 

Welcome to Extreme Tech Support - Free PC Help

 

I'd upload them to Photobucket and then put the video image link in your posts.

 

Example:

This is not strictly a video file but you get my drift.

tried that but it says only 5 minutes, and when i did upload it, it wasnt there, none of it, i tried a picture and i got the url for the pic but the vid didnt upload?

You need to put the direct link in like this Van Halen vid mate.

 

You need to upload it to the Video section.

 

You also need to name the video file and the file size is limited to 100mb

You could wrap url tags around it to make it look pretty.

the footage is 870mb, i did it in videos, it says its uploaded but theres nothing there.

What is the file extension Karl?

Mine is obviously a utube video that I converted to .wmv although it shows as .flv in the link.

 

The file size is way too big anyway mate.

[karl111]

what do you mean file extention, the file size is too big, so how do people get footage up then?

[maynardvdm]

Short films that is 870mb, ive see full movies that is less than that. the file extensin is *.avi or *.mpeg or *.mp4. You can try to convert it to a different format.

[Guest Wolfeymole]

You say you have a short clip, well 870mb is not short.

 

Is that figure the accumulation of all the clips?

 

A file extension is like I mentioned .wmv or .flv

You can try this site or youtube

Hello Karl

 

If you just want to copy a few files up to a location on the Web for use by friends or other forum members then 870MB is often too big for most sites. It is also typically too big for most users to want to view online but that's up to you guys.

 

Probably the largest free service for copying that data up to the Internet is Rapidshare but they too won't allow a single file of that size. If it has to be a single file then Megaupload allows 500MB but not 870 unless you have a paid account.

There is also Netload but again the free accounts don't allow a singe file of that size

Without splitting the file size I'm not sure of any site that allows a free account to upload such a large file (they also typically will delete the file after a certain period of inactivity - unless you use a Paid Account)

 

You could use a free program called HJSPLIT to split the file into a couple of pieces and then upload it. Users would have to download the parts though and recombine them using HJSPLIT
