Ahh, that explains it. Normally the upload limit is a mere 2MB for most servers!
May I propose though, with this size videos, shouldn't you be considering Vimeo or Youtube? Hosting large video files on non-video services has several disadvantages:
- For all devices without fast internet, the video will likely stutter (frequently buffering), especially if you have only high quality / low compression video file (which I am guessing).
- When a device starts loading the video, it will download the entire video, even if the visitor only watches 3 seconds. This can be very detrimental for a mobile device.
- All devices will have to load the quality you uploaded, even for small low-quality screens.
- Video services on the other hand (like youtube and vimeo), will create multiple quality versions of your videos, perfectly adapted to each device screen quality and internet connection, and the user can choose.
Although 3rd party video services are clearly superior for video hosting, you can of course host locally if you really need to. Our servers are actually set to allow
512MB uploads, but the obstacle is that we use Cloudflare for security and CDN, and they cap uploads at
100MB [ref]. For now, you would have to optimize/resize your videos to within 100MB or consider a 3rd party video service. Or if you won't be frequently uploading 100+ MB files, I could perhaps assist in getting these transferred to server another way?
