Media file size exceeds 64MB. What to do?

  • I just upgraded to 3.0.5.

    I need to upload a flash video to my site. The video size i currently 250MB or 84MB.
    I’m uploading an iMovie project.
    WP says that the max file size should be 64MB.
    What to do?
    Should I change the video size to super small to be able to upload? Not good hah.
    Or should I upload the video through my FTP. In that case where there exactly. I need the URL for the video to be able to insert that to my flash video code.

  • you may need to change the max upload size in the php.ini
    on some hosts, they let users edit this file
    others, you have to contact host

    The file limit is imposed by your host, not by wordpress

    You could check with them to see if you can raise the limits

    However, a file upload in the ‘hood of 250MB will almost always fail through a website/browser inteface

    Use ftp, it’s your best bet. Put it wherever you want really… I have a directory in my root just called assets. But the name is only important for you. but the url to your file is just wherever you put it… in my example above (assets folder in root) the url would be
    domain.com/assets/file.type
