Hi, I have never uploaded any video files because it is rather big, compared to video files. Now that I am into unlimited hosting, I just wanted to test this feature out. I tried to upload a .mpg video file that is about 2.65MB in size. The uploading was a breeze but how do I display the video? Do I need additional software?
You may want to look at the ogghandler extension, it works for sure with free formats like ogg theora, not sure for others though. It's used on wikipedia, so stable enough.
Cheers, Laurent

In my experiences I am always better off uploading video to YouTube, Vimeo or others and then just using extensions to display them.

Hi Dave, thanks for your response. Problem is the video files are copyrighted and I am just archiving it for my own usage.

There are several media converters if you google. You can also try downloading the Adobe Media Encoder as a 30 trial. I believe this will convert formats.
