Uploading Video Fails (HTTP Server Busy Error)

[BigJeff]

Hi,

I have beem trying to upload video files, but whenever I try I get an HTTP Server Busy error a little while after the loading process starts.

I am using the same method as for photos (that works), just selecting a .wmv file instead of jpeg.

Any ideas what is happening?

How big is the file? It might be bigger than the max filesize.

First file was 25MB, so I swapped to a 7MB and had the same error.

The file space quoted under my login in the upload page is a little mysterious, but if the personal limit is 100MB then I have space to spare for either file.

It's taking too long... We have a server timeout set to maximize the forum usage. There are definitely some limitations with the photo gallery, but we're kind of married to it, since we have so many images in it, it's virtually impossible to switch to something better...

Quite frankly... Your best bet for posting videos is to put it on youtube or some other video service, and share it (or embed it in posts) using the "Insert Video" button, or the yt tags.

Like this video is embedded using the "Insert Video" button in the icon bar at the top of the editor.

OK, thanks for the advice.

Will have to wait a little while, currently working with a "work" PC and most video sites are blocked.
