Uploading Videos to the Website

Hello Dave,

I followed your guidance on being able to post videos on the forum and converted my videos to YouTube files but when I tried to post a video using the YouTube link as requested on this site I received a message saying that I needed to post a valid link although I was using the link address provided by YT. I hope that makes sense. Any ideas?

Uploading Videos to the Website

Hello Dave,

Thank you for the information. I see now I was in the wrong place. My files are MP4 so they should load. I'll give it a try later.

Hi Gregg
Go to Media Gallery and select Upload New Media.
The preferred method indicates you use a Utube saved file. So you need to create a Utube account and save your videos there, then select the saved file and link to it on this site. I use MP4 when saving to Utube. You can add description details to your post.
Works everytime for me

As far as I know you click the box with the + sign in it as you would for photos and files which is what I did. I selected the video I had made and clicked open. The video started to load the same as when you load pictures but when it got to the end of loading a window opened telling me that the video file was the wrong format and stopped. If I can find out what format the video should be in I could possibly convert a copy of the file to the correct format for the purposes of this site.

I know how to add pictures, files and videos to a new post but can anyone tell me what the video file format should be? I have some videos I made a while back. When I tried to load one to this site I was told that it was in the wrong format and the video failed to load.
