I imagine you mean the total of all your video is 20 GB, and that the indvidual files are smaller (?) Please keep in mind that currently commons has a hard limit of 4 GB as the max file size (By hard I mean hard coded into the code. There might be a possibility to stretch that to 5 GB by making some code changes to MW, but beyond that :S ). So all the individual files you upload in the end must be 4 GB or less. --------- If you're comfortable with the command line (and aren't on metered internet ;), one way to do conversion is to upload the file to your tool labs account, and convert using ffmpeg at tool labs. Obviously this is only a viable approach if you feel fairly comfortable with the cli. -- -bawolff _______________________________________________ Multimedia mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/multimedia
