General help

Joseph, using v1.9 is likely to be an advantage here, for files this large anyway. You can upload them directly to the moodledata folder and access them via a link in the Moodle. I can't exactly recall the method, but you don't need to use a script, if you have access to the Moodle tree. You don't really have to fiddle with core code or settings either. Not being a dev, I did exactly this for a number of really large videos that I couldn't upload otherwise and from memory, a couple of the respondents above helped me do this when I was new to Moodle. See how easy it is to forget? Don't use it, you lose it!
