I am working diligently on my Italy trip report and have managed to upload photos. In my photo files are a couple of short videos taken while on this trip. Can they be uploaded in place of a photo?

We have a couple of other videos on the board. How big is the video? I may have to upload it for you because I think the limit to upload via the software is 2 megs.

Marta,

I will check it out on Wednesday and email you back. Off the top of my head, I just don't remember. It is very short though.

I think Marta will have to upload it for you because the code for uploading in the Trip Reports Manager only allows a few filetypes, jpg and bmp I think.

Let me know when you upload it, Marta. I'll probably need to make a few entries in the database that are normally made by the upload process.

Just to make certain we are talking about the same thing. I know we support video on SlowTrips. I was thinking the video could be uploaded to slow trips and it could be linked from a trip report. This is separate from the photos uploaded for display on the trip report.

Chris, I was thinking it would be linked under photo album. Here's a sample url for a video on Slow Trips

Do you think that would work?

That would work too, Marta, and probably would be a better location for the video.

From The upload page

User File Limits
Allowable Image Types: jpg,jpeg,png,gif
mpeg,mpg,avi,asf,wmv,mov

Maximum File Size: 5000k file size limit.
ZIP file uploads allowed (65.00mb limit).

The upload page shows that all sorts of movie formats are allowed. What surprised me was the file limit size. A 5Mbyte jpeg! I was used to a 150KByte limit. Then I realised that the large size would be needed for movies.
