Problems uploading large files

I have had moodle running since xmas and have been developing my knowledge in its operation.  Mostly everything has gone well including the upgrade.  However I have not had any success uploading large files 8Meg+.  I want to be able to use video tutorials which are real audio encoded files.  A 2.5 minute file is larger than the 8Meg size (and even that I have not successfully uploaded, only small files) and I want to upload files that could be as large as 15-18Meg.  I have a perl script that I have used to upload large files so I know the problem is not with my server... it must be php related.  I have tried upping the limits as indicated in the installation manual, have changed it in the php.conf file and php.ini file.  Not sure where else I can go.

Question is... has anyone successfully uploaded large files like this... if so we need to talk.

Thanks to anyone who has ideas.

You have changed the Apache settings too, yes? You didn't mention it so I thought I'd check.

Next question - do you *really* want to load 15-18Meg video files into Moodle? Are you *sure* you don't want to set up a proper streaming server (and there are open-source options available - for example www.videolan.org) and simply put links to the material in Moodle. Slightly more cumbersome but on the other hand it might work smile
