Hi folks,
Has any thought been given to organized uploads of >100 MB videos?
Being forced to reduce video quality dramatically can be kind of a
downer for contributors, and it would be great if we had a better
interface or something for decent-sized videos coming through an
approved outreach project.
This also applies to the prospects of increasing university course video
projects:

Do you expect many >100MB uploads on WLM 2012?
Uploads larger than 100MB are already possible (for instance, dmcdevit
is doing one tomorrow), but they need the involvement of someone with
shell access.
Which hasn't been too problematic, given that uploading through HTTP
isn't the most reliable way to do it.
Upload by url is a viable solution for approved outreach projects, it's
likely to be available on 1.20 deployment (not going to happen on 1.19,
as domain limitation (r109562) was reverted). But won't for a random user.
You can advertise that upload of larger files is possible, and direct
your users to an email address. We can manage it when it comes.
