RE: Video Upload Server Timeout/Reset

Christian-

 

I haven’t seen (maybe I missed it) any feedback from Bryon on this…so here is something from my perspective.  We do not have a video compression guide, per se.  For me, it is about testing and application.  What are you using to complete your compressions?  What data rate/keyframes/codec…as well as how long is the video?  What is the application for which this is being applied.  That is how I typically determine compression/size.

 

We should touch base.  Missed you at eduWEB…however, you would have hated the venue.  (I did).  It was a Trump facility…and old.  It was smoky (they can still smoke in casinos until October and the only dining option other than a steakhouse was a crappy café and Hooters.  (I ate at Hooters twice on this trip…because the café sucked!!!)  Good conference this year though.  Did you keep up on the blogs?

 

Catch you later.

 

Darren

Hi, Bryon,
Given the concerns that both you and Darren expressed about our video file size, I wanted to find a guide for video compression for web deployment that is both well-compressed and nice looking.

Have you such a guide?

Also, is there any way I can ftp to the James Tower servers?
I’m going to have more videos (some may be over 10 mb if I can’t find my way around that).
Yours,
Christian

Hi Christian,
 
AdmissionsGenie doesn’t have any file size restrictions for uploading at this point.

Hi, Bryon,
Thanks so much for doing this. Is there a file size ceiling for which I need to watch out?
Yours,
Christian

Christian-
 
I am a little late to the table in participating in this discussion…however, to Bryon’s point have you tried to size the video down?  9MB is really, for a video of this length, fairly sizeable.  I would recommend either shortening the video or considering different compression settings.

Hi, Bryon,
I’m trying to load a video which I’m attaching (sorry, it’s big). I’ve tried on both Firefox (multiple times) and Safari.
Here are the errors I’m getting:

Firefox
The connection was reset

The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
    *   The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
          moments.
    *   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
          connection.
    *   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
          that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

Safari
Safari can’t open the page.
Safari could not open the page “https://admissions.creighton.edu/Admin/FileManager/tabid/269/ctl/Edit/mid/730/ftype/File/rtab/269/Default.aspx?dest=video%5c” because the server is not responding.

Is the video too big? Is there a size limit?

Yours,
Christian
