Comment: Converting the mp3 to ogg is no problem, but I believe that you want the mp4 video uploaded, or? I believe that wikipedia/wikimedia has a restriction which prevents such big uploads. (moreover convertings a mp4 file to ogg will even increase the file size!) mabdul 09:22, 6 July 2012 (UTC)- Comment: The Youtube video has a size of 125 MB, but we can only upload files, which have a size less than 100 MB.

- Comment: As it seems we are now able to upload files up to 500mb, see Commons:Commons:Maximum file size. I will read the possibilities and then starting to convert the file. As this is a rather big file (and the converting/upload needs it's time), I won't finish with this task within a day. I will update this thread for the case that I'm ready to upload or any problem occur. mabdul 10:42, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
- Oh by the way: I'm using (of course) the original file which has ~1400mb not loosing too much of 'image information' through multiple converting actions. mabdul 10:46, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
- Didn't know about the existence of chunked uploads. Armbrust, B.Ed. WrestleMania XXVIII The Undertaker 20–0 10:51, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
- Just a head-up: I will convert the video over the night and if I get a good result, I can upload it tomorrow morning... hopefully ... mabdul 21:26, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
- Mmmh, using 3 different browsers (with always getting different problems), I stopped to upload the video again (after ~8 attempts) with the great error message: "Unknown error: "internal_api_error_UploadChunkFileException".". I will ping avs if I see him online (IRC) next time, because original he said he would do it... mabdul 02:17, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
- I left a talkback yesterday at avs' talk page and a few minutes ago I left a helpme request at Wikipedia:Help desk#Need help at FFU!. Regards, mabdul 10:08, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
- And a new help request at Commons:Commons:Help desk#Need help with a very big upload at WP:FFU. mabdul (public) 08:08, 14 July 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikignome (talk • contribs)
- Comment: Would it not be easier to just file a Bugzilla request for commons:Help:Server-side upload? Armbrust, B.Ed. WrestleMania XXVIII The Undertaker 20–0 09:00, 14 July 2012 (UTC)
- I normally try to avoid that kind of uploads, but in this case I will upload a better converted file to my public available dropbox then and requesting such an upload. This might take again two days :-/ mabdul 11:36, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
- A short update: I have converted the video again and uploaded to my public Dropbox folder. Tomorrow I will fill a bugzilla entry. mabdul 22:14, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
