Upload problems

Tuesday 01/07/09

I seem to be experiencing a few problems over the last 24 hours in regards to actually uploading the video onto the www.bigstar.tv website. The first time I tried uploading the footage at home last night (Monday) every time I attempted to write a description for the video after the upload was successful, the next page refused to load and so the video hasn’t been recognised on the website at all.

I tried again during today’s morning lesson, but this time it froze at 70%. Though I blame this more on the inefficiency and slow internet speed of the College MAC computers.

Strangely last night I attempted to upload the footage three more times, all of which failed, giving me the message 'Error with upload' each time the counter hit 100% with no other explanation provided to inform me why the upload keeps failing. The file size is far below 500MB (210), the film is between 3-15 minutes in length (8) and file format is MP4, specified as a valid format on the website.

This may well be an error on the side of the website itself, but it's irritating non the else as the final entry date draws nearer.
