Could someone tell me how to post a video? I'm not the most computer competent. Thanks.
Saru
Is it a paranormal related video ? If so you could submit it to our video gallery and then post a link to refer everyone to it.

The multimedia gallery can be found Here.

Alternatively you'll need to find some web space to upload it to. That can be a problem, most free hosts don't allow the use of the web space for bandwidth intensive purposes such as video or image hosting.
jenk
Great! thanks alot!
jenk
um. I don't think it fits any of your albums, excpet for Miscellaneous but I don't see that as an option when I go to upload. Should I just go for the one which fits it best?
Saru
Yeah just put it in any of them, i'll move it to the most suitable album when I add it, or create a new album for it if one is needed.
jenk
er. I seem to be having more problems. When I try to upload it says

The page cannot be displayed
The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser settings.

I tried it three times.

What should I do?
Saru
I've just tested the uploader and it's working fine, could be a problem with your browser or perhaps the site was down when you tried to do it before.

The system is definately working, several uploads have been made over the last couple of weeks.
jenk
I tried again and it still gives me the same thing. As I said I'm pretty bad with computers. Would you try to put it on if I E-mailed it to you (after I figure out how to put it on E-mail)?
Saru
Yeah sure, my e-mail address is

webmaster@unexplained-mysteries.com
jenk
ok..... I can't seem to attach it.... I'm going to try later. Sorry.
TooFarGone
Try to email it to me, and i can attach it for you.
jenk
ok. I tried email again and it still failed. I sent a few pics and videos over to some friends on msn so I think I can send it that way. Is there anyone who has msn messenger who will do this for me? Sorry about this.
TooFarGone
I do, I'll try it.
jenk
Thanks for trying to help me out jeremy_rumbolt. Would someone else be willing to try? Jeremy_rumbolt recieved my video over msn messenger but he could not post it either.
Saru
What error did he get ? It's strange that you are both having problems uploading the video, because it's working for me and seems to be working for other people aswell. I can find nothing wrong with the uploader whatsoever.

What format is your video, and how large is it ?
jenk
It's 4.11 mb

I don't know how to check format. Sorry.

I could send it to you if you gave me your msn messenger.
Saru
The format is the file extension - for example .mov .mpeg .rm etc.

I'll PM you my MSN Messanger details in just a second.
Saru
Ok that's the file uploaded and working.

For reference, the problem seemed to be related to the amount of time taken to upload larger video files. Smaller files upload ok, but larger one's may time out if they take longer than a certain time period to upload.

To fix this, i've increased the timeout value, which should now allow file sizes up to 30mb or more to be uploaded without problems on a 512k or higher broadband connection.

Hey, i wanted tp upload a video too, but my browser locks up everytime i click 'browse'. Could i send it to you so it could be up loaded?
Saru
Sure, send it as an e-mail attachment to

webmaster@unexplained-mysteries.com

Your browser locking up sounds like it could be a Firefox problem.
Janiel
No, it was doing it on IE too. I'll try uploading it one more time, if that fails then i'll send it to you original.gif
Saru
Ok there it is uploaded, the link is Here.
Janiel
Thank you, SaRu. clap.gif
