File size well over 200MG
Tue, 06/16/2009 - 18:27
Hi all --
we are just beginning to use Kaltura on our Drupal site, so forgive me if this question has already been asked/answered elsewhere.
I have a file edited on a mac and saved as an mp4 at roughly 730MG. When I tried to upload this to Kaltura, I was unable to select the mp4 file, so assumed the issue was in the file type. I then saved the file as a wmv type file, but the size of the file was not affected. My next attempt to browse for the file in the File Upload interface was successful. I selected the file and clicked upload, but received the message that the file was too large.
The video I want to upload is of an hour-long event that was recorded several weeks ago. I want to post the entire piece, as we initially streamed it (we were using ustream at the time, having not implemented Kaltura yet). I would prefer to not have to go back through the footage, cut it into smaller files, upload, and re-edit.
Are there any other solutions to this? Is there any way that I might be able to upload it as a stream, even though it is not a current stream? (In other words, should I replay the movie on my camera while wired for streaming -- will this work to mimic a stream on Kaltura?)
Hopefully this is clear -- if not, please let me know and will try to clarify further.
Thanks for your help!

Hi Eva,
File size limit is 200MB for the self serve packages. You may upgrade your package and upload bigger files (and get other exciting feature as well). If upgrading your package is something you would like to pursue, please private message me.
Thanks!

Alternatively you could compress the video locally to an FLV that's under 200MB. Or split the video in half (to that you retain some quality), and create a new remix with both the videos playing one after the other, so that when users play the remix via the KDP they will never notice that it's actually two different clips.
Hello Eva,
You should check your php.ini file which is the main PHP configuration file. The php.ini file contains the default size limits for memory usage, upload file size, and post memory size of your PHP scripts. You might need root access to change these values.
