    I desperately need to upload my movie file which is 125MB and is a DAT. file to a video server and it needs to have the embedded code so i can dd it to my site. I have been looking around for sites that accept over 100MB for upload and havnt found much luck,

    Does anyone know of any sites?

    What about working with your problem? You can lower the resolution/quality of your video (or is that not an option for you?)

    i dont think it is the size but the file format. try changing it to something more common such as .MPG .WMV .AVI or .MP4 those always work great for me

    Thanks everyone for your suggestions, I have thought about making the file smaller but becuase the client gave me a DAT file and i dont do video editing although i have macromedia director and i tried to import it but it couldnt import the file type, anyone knows ways around this, possible programs i can compress the file size down with?

    Ok Good News I managed to compress the file to 25MG and now the file is in quicktime, perfect but When i uploaded it to youtube it rejected it saying the video was too long? I now have to find another video sharing service that accepts over 10 mins? Any ideas?

    Convert it into lower quality and then upload it .

    Size is something different from length .

    Youtube only accepts files under 10 min. Over 10 muinutes is for their "premium" account or whatever.

    Other sites are: dailymotion.com, ifilm.com, metacafe.com, video.yahoo.com, video.google.com, etc.

    but I don't know about their limitations.
