Hi Mike I was looking at the link and on the top it says that the max file size is 50 Mb this is about ome minute of video. Am I correct? If so it should be clear so that people do not come up with long video.

Hi,

It is and is not correct :) It all depends on how you encode your footage in the end. For example a decent quality flash file will be around 1mb for a minute. If you don't have software to compress your video enough that will be an issue. The format and quality you choose to encode your video to is the key.

Matt pinged me about this and we will double the size and also get a video guide up about compression to help.

As you can see from my Avatar I have my wrench out already!


Take it easy and thanks for the post.

Mike does it mean that we do not have to through youtube? We can upload directly from our PC?

The video was very clear, should have run it, sorry

No problem. I am sure someone else will want to know the same thing. No need to apologize.

Looking forward to your entry
