Do you have a youtube account? You can upload your videos there, and they accept larger files than photobucket.

www.youtube.com

How come you're not able to upload them on your Fluffies home page or diary Karen? Is the video file too large?

Confused I'm not sure, I'm like you too, not very good with technology, but it doesn't sound like it should be too big. Maybe there was a problem with the youtube server at the time that you were trying to upload, because I've seen videos on there that were much longer than that and very good quality. Right click on the file and check the properties and see what the size is, that way I'll have a better idea if it really is too big.

Chances are Karen, that is much much much too big for either youtube and photobucket. They both actually have the same file size and time limit. 100mb and 10 minutes long. If I take footage on my 6m Pixels camera, a 7 minutes clip would be 450mb. so you can see that's too big..

The way you can check on the file size is to go to the file, right click on the file, then go to 'properties'... a new window will pop up, and it should tell you exactly how big the files are. It'll probably be much bigger than 100mb.

I'm not sure how to shrink videos unfortunately. sorry. Sad
