File size

[Tony Cooper]

I'm really confused on how to put a movie up on the web so that
someone can link and open.

I have a movie that is just over 3 minutes long. Saving it to Video
for broadband at 540 kps results in a .wmv file of 12,812 kb. I've
tried to upload this to my Earthlink host several times, and it just
won't upload.

The only think I can think of is that the file's too big.

Are there suggested file sizes for .wmv's?

If the file is too large, can it be compressed?

=====================================
12.5 MB shouldn't be an issue for a fast connection.

There are lots of sites available for uploading
video files...here are some examples:

YouTube (free video sharing site)
http://www.youtube.com/index
(100MB limit per video)

Putfile.com (free video sharing site)
http://www.putfile.com/
(25MB limit per video)

ZippyVideos (free video sharing site)
http://www.zippyvideos.com/
(20MB limit per video for free accounts
and 10MB for anonymous uploads)

There you go. I linked to this site and the .wmv went up without a
problem. Dunno why Earthlink wouldn't take it.

It's a clumsy video that I made last August just after I purchased my
first video camera, but it's kinda cute:

Thanks for the assist.

Excellent! You're welcome and thank you for
the update.

I guess that's your son...he's a real showman.
Hang on to that video...it'll be a hoot when he's
grown.

FWIW...I'm not up on all the legal issues but I
suspect it may a good idea to be careful
about uploading copyrighted music.

Cheers.

Hi Tony
The video wouldn't load for me for some reason so I couldn't check it out
but the problem with uploading to your EarthLink provider may simply have
been a filesize limit. I know that before I updated (and of course paid more
money) for my hosting service I had a 5mb filesize limit which is why some
of the videos on my website aren't very high quality. To get around this I
had to render my movies special for my website using the "Best fit to
filesize" option in Movie Maker set to 5mb.
