uploading a video to kickstarter

[BenB]

I think there is definitely something wacko about Kickstarter. Every site I've uploaded too was a piece of cake just resizing and encoding in QT 7 Player, for years. Please let us know what their tech support finds as a solution. I'd love to do a test encode and upload it to a private URL for testing, myself. Yep, has to be on Kickstarter's end. This H.264 stuff is simply not that complicated.

I've really given up - I've never had a problem uploading a vide before. kickstarter is looking into it. Will let ya know Ben - thanks for listening

[BenB]

Please do let me know what Kickstarter tech support says. Ask if they can use a QT ".mov" or prefer a QT ".m4v" file. You've got me really curious now.

will do

well - kickstarter got back to me - they said to keep the file under 250mb and there shouldn't be a problem. But the problem is under 250mb it doesn't look so good - the video is just under 5 minutes.
They say there file limit size is 500mb - so who knows....
after a week though I give up and will upload the inferior file.

Hey Ben
Final word from kickstarter was "yes the limit is 500 mb - but yer safe with 250mb."
So... I couldn't get it above 250mb - so that's what I'm going to post and put a link to another file at vimeo.
Wish this was not the case.... but - ya know how that goes.
