Create the directory "/files/incoming" if it doesn't already exist. Make sure it's writable. Upload your file there. Then go to the File Manager and click the "Upload Multiple" link in the upper right, and then click the "Add Incoming" tab.

That's sure one whopper of a video file. I wouldn't want to host it on my C5 site. I'd be looking for a video hosting service. I don't do YouTube, but I thought it supported high res videos as well as HD. If YouTube doesn't cut it, what about Vimeo?

Actually, it's the smallest of six software demo AVI files that I uploaded to YouTube, but which lost a lot of resolution in their process. What I was trying to do is see how well the c5 video player does in comparison, starting with the most extreme example and then go down from there. I think my problem may ultimately be a relatively poor original that I would up with because I kept having tech problems with the different capture utilities I tried. I've been searching for a "how to" guide with a recommended start-to-finish method that uses the simpler free ones, but editing and rendering seems to decrease the quality no matter what I try.

Were you suggesting embedding Vimeo code on a page? The YouTube block did not include a full-screen option, so I tried using their embed code in a content block but no player appeared at all. Thanks!

Have you tried iPlayerHD.com?

Hello jcarls,

You may want to also tryhttp://vimeo.com/, they do allow HD quality videos.

I hope this helps,

I've had good success with SmugMug. They are in the top league for for video transmission for consumer/small business -- large bandwidth, resolution up to 1080p, many codecs and generally hiccup-free transmission. The yearly cost for a mid range plan is around $60.
