The maximum file size per file is 100mb. The cookies are necessary as we had to integrate the video system into the forum system.

Regarding video recording software, I would recommend camtasia studio by www.techsmith.com. I havent experimented with other recording software so I dont know of any other ones that are as good. Try the trial first as you will get all the functionality.

The Camtasia price is a little stiff. The software I've been playing with provides conversion to animated gif, so the file size is much smaller (so far, less than a meg). However, I see you don't allow gif uploads. Any particular reason? You do allow gif uploads to the blogs, but only up to a half meg. Any reason for that, or can it be increased?

Hi Db,

.gif files wont work on the video site. I will ask my coder to see if this extension can be added. I also increased the attachment size for .gif files to 5mb.

If file size isn't important, then perhaps adding gifs to the list is not important. But for anyone who's interested in minimum file sizes, it's worth looking in to.

Thanks for expanding the gif attachment size.
