    Default uploading videos

    being something of a ludite, and somewhat disinclined to make videos and post them i never had tried. Recently a new member was talking about left handed, mono-dexterous shaving, so i went to all the effort of using my phone as a mirror, and recorded myself shaving in this style, it was tricky due to the lack of size of "mirror", the fact that it was quite dark because i had to stand the phone inside the bathroom cupboard, and the lag between me doing something and the phone processing it and showing me.
    so after all that i had a reasonable video of the process, it was a bit shakey at the start while i got used to the camera image, but at the end i was content enough.
    i tried to attach it to a reply to the thread so that i could show the new feller what i do, and it wouldn't attach, i left it a few days and tried at work on an actual computer rather than my phone, whereupon i got a message that the file was too large. do i have to put the damn thing on youtube, then link that?
    the original file is about 7 mins of mp4 footage, can i use a file converter to make it smaller, or do i have to post my phone to the new guy to show him, which frankly would be inconvenient.
    any ideas?

    I think your going to have to upload it to you tube and then link it. It's not all that hard to do and then you may find your a closet video artist :<0)
    Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

    We don't have the infrastructure to host and serve a lot of videos, so we don't because it makes no sense trying to do stuff we can't do well enough.
    As 10Pups said it's best to upload it to one of the sites that are specialized in that (e.g. youtube, vimeo, etc.) and then post the link here. It'll work far better than if it were hosted here.
