Trying to upload video & is saying it's to big but other videos are on site working fine. I don't think it is to big.

I am trying to upload to kodiklip.com > resources > videos... any ideas what could be the problem? The video isn't very long so I think it should go up no problem.

Thanks, Kate

I have only been using wordpress for like 2 weeks so still trying to figure everything out!

Hi Kate,

What is the file size?

Also is the extension valid?

Sam :)

Video length and filesize are not directly related since there are many different resolutions and compression methods. So a 4K video of 5 seconds would probably be a larger file than a standard definition video of 5 minutes. Just to give you an example.

I forgot to post back on here because I figured it out. For some reason the video must have been altered in some way on the drive. When I got the video from its original source and downloaded it, it worked fine. Still have no clue why it prompted that error message in the first place - but it is up now! Thanks for the response though!
