*you can also edit the php.ini max upload setting on most servers the default is 20MB - the max file size allowed has to do with your server settings and not c5

You need to look for and increase a number of limits:

- php maximum upload size

- web server maximum upload size

- php execution time limit

- web server execution time limit

- maximum size of temporary files


Because video files are big, they can soon run up against all of these limits.

On a typical shared host, the only way round it may be as @nextGen says, to FTP to the server before importing.

If you have a dedicated server, then you should be able to configure it for bigger files as @SheldonB suggests.

An alternative would be to host your videos on youtube or similar, and link them in to play from your c5 site.

I think it's a good idea to use YouTube.
Is there a player for YouTube which can play an entire playlist?

Thank you for choosing to spend time answering my questions.

I would only be searching through the addons and asking questions of developers like you will be. I can't recommend such from personal experience.

Youtube video is easy, default 'block' is in C5 list.

Remember to optimise video for the web.
