LifeNRA Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 I don't think you can! The RT servers will not allow a file that big. Your going to have to upload it to a hosting site. Now if this video is on another web site. All you need to do is copy and paste the address in a post. People will then just click on it to open the video. If it is a direct link to that video, then you can left click and choose "Save Target As". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckee Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Alright. So i probably wont be downloading any videos onto here since Photobucket is waaaay to slow.:( Photobucket isn't slow at all. I've been using photobucket for years, and have plenty of videos and pictures on there. It always takes a while to download a large video, but once it's loaded, you're good to go.

Plus i'm still trying to figure out how to compile a movie on windows movie maker and upload it to photobucket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure in movie maker, but in studio you have options to save the file(movie) in different formats through settings. You obviously cannot use full dv quality for uploads. Without looking, think I use the mpeg2 setting at svcd quality, uploads go a bit quicker and quality loss is not too terribly bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to upload a movie from movie maker to photobucket, but the file was saved as one that photobucket would accept. Not sure how to change the movie maker file thing. I tried, but i didnt find anything. Doesnt mean it's not possible, cause i'm not to great with that kind of stuff:o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lungbuster12point06 Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 If you are trying to upload to photobucket or youtube(which btw has a larger limit on megs...100megs and 10 mins. footage) you want to render the clip in wmv medium quality format or if it is a small clip you can try wmv high quality, but it really don't seem to matter too much when it gets converted to flash format it still gets compressed and pixelated............the only way you can play a video in windows media is by first uploading directly to a server........I have several on my website that play this way, but it takes alot of space and bandwidth. Good luck! Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
