Hi George,
>> but the video exceeds the 2mb limit set in our Moodle 1.9.12
I just noticed this comment you made. Did you mean 2mb or 2gb? My site is set at a 500mb limit for file uploading. Why is yours set at 2mb? It is a setting that you or your administrator can change.
Although we use Youtube, we could have loaded all 240 videos/semester into our school Moodle site. The problem is not the upload limit, the problem is rather:
- Moodle does not stream video, like Youtube/Vimeo or a local add-on server such as Red5, Wowza or Flash Media Server. So you have to wait one or two minutes for a large video file to completely load before viewing it.
- Also, Moodle is picky about some video formats, while Youtube will take anything. We use a variety of digital cameras, iPhones, iPads to record videos, so we like the convenience and hassle-free uploading of Youtube.
