Launi, it is possible to increase the file size for uploads, however, it's often not easily done (it's technical) and it may not give you what you want. The reason for this is that videos which are on our cameras are often not in a good format for the web. They need to be compressed to a smaller file size and converted into a different file format. I would highly suggest you use YouTube or Viddler. Upload your videos to their services, then grab the embed codes for your blog post. Let them handle the hosting and bandwidth (and provide an extra gateway for traffic, too).

Is there a way to add the videos from my own camera? No matter what I’ve tried, it says the file is too big.

Craig, you need to use a media plugin, such as PodPress or Longtail. Another possibility is the Kaltura plugin/service. If you google them you’ll find plenty of info.

Awesome post. I’m installing my first WP blog and this was really helpful. Do you have any tips on embedding a video file? Rather than embedding a video that is posted on YouTube? Thank you!

Chris, try doing it without reverting back to the visual tab. Just stay in the html tab. If that doesn’t work, then try a plugin for video like EasyTube.

By the way, this seems to be a “Mac problem.” I’ve seen it before.

Hi – this is great – but it just doesn’t work for me!

I paste the code in, I can even see the yellow ‘flash’ box in the visual window but as soon as I save it – the code/yellow box visual disappears. I’ve done it over and over again – same thing. Tried two different browsers just incase (Safari and Firefox on a Mac) but no go. Below is the code – it’s not from You Tube but from another site, but should work fine and I actually got this code from another blogger who had used it to embed to her site….

Thanks

Chris
