Unable to upload vidclip?

[Senshi1]

Hello

I've got a vid clip I'm trying to upload in the video section, but it keeps saying "fatal error" and something about memory. I've compressed the clip down to 4.7mb to comply with the 5mb limit, so could somebody possibly tell me what's wrong please?

Cheers

Right-click the file and select "Properties". What is/are the size value(s) in the parentheses? Are they closer to or above 5 MB? If so it is still too big. Often a file is larger than it may appear. If the parenthetical size still appears to be in the correct range perhaps I can get it from you and try to upload it myself.

Thanks for the advice! I checked the properties, and though the size they gave me was a few hundred bytes bigger, it was still <5mb. 🙁 I can compress it down to <4mb, but tbh, I've tested that, and the sound goes really tinny and bad-quality.

Perhaps if you split the file and uploaded it that way it might work.

I'll send you a PM with me email, then. Send it to that email if you can and I will attempt an upload. Note that the closer the filesize is to 5 MB, even if it isn't quite over the limit, the less likely the upload is to succeed.
