Work-arounds for uploading large files
I am aware that the video upload facility says not to upload files longer than a minute.
I've got a case here of an 720p mp4 file which is 57 seconds, weighing in at 71MB.
Does anyone else have issues with files this size with the webm upload facility? (yes I know it's an mp4 and it prefers webm, but I'd expect at least an error or something if it outright rejected it.)
As all that happens in my case is that it takes a while then appears to silently time out without changing page - I suspect this may be due to my somewhat mediocre (< 2MB/s average) upload bandwidth.
I guess I could try either chopping the file up into shorter duration chunks, and/or transcoding it to lower resolution (possibly throwing them into a pool), though neither are exactly a desireable situation.
(If it is a silent time-out, I wonder if there is anything that can be done to detect this client-side - firefox is not indicating a time-out error in this case, if that is what is going on. I would fuck around with cURL to see if that revealed anything, but I suspect I'd probably screw up a few times and consequently get locked out for "suspicious requests".)
