Yet another technological question.

Anyone know anything about uploading big video files, or if there is a site that condenses them or hosts them or something. I've got something good to show y'all (though my really good one-question interview with Al Franken somehow got deleted) but when I try to upload it, the message reads 'the file is too large'.

I dunno. How do I check that?

looks like you got yourself hooked up.

Where are you trying to upload it?

I just figured out a way around uploading it to my site, but I would like to upload videos in the future.

You should also think about converting it to a quicktime file. I think the windows movie maker software lets you do that.

And there's a site "http://www.onfuego.com/" that specifically designed for posting movies. Eventually it will become a pay site (for people posting their videos), but for now it's free.

K,

Your web host likely has bandwith limitations (like 1-2 GB/month or something). If 10 people download a 10 MB Video, you're probably going to go bust. Don't keep it on your site.

On the other hand, you've got lots of friends out here who are more than happy to host the movie for you. I went through that this morning. (Thirteen thousand people have downloaded a 1 MB movie from my site between midnight and right now.)

Drop me an email if you'd like to spread out the hosting duties a little bit.

("Gasp! He just put his email address on a web site! The fool!" Hee hee. It's great to have an email service that filters out all the spam for me.)

Yahoo! I love free money and free girls, and that "XXX" just make it all the more enticing!

I am so happy!
