Hi There,
We are really struggling with getting our mp4's to appear appropriately. They are fuzzy in the window view within the blog and completely illegible when viewed full screen. Do yo have any suggestions?
Thanks

emladenov on "Uploaded Video File Does Not Show in Library"

emladenov — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 03:44:55 +0000

Hi, I just added videopress support to my blog today. I uploaded an MP4 file, which is showing as 864 MB on my computer (i.e., below the 1 GB upload limit). At the end of the upload, I received an error message, and the file does not show in the library now, but the space counter on top of the library page indicates I have used those 864 MB now. I now have 2 issues: 1) How do I upload that file - since it is less than 1 GB, it should upload, so not sure why I'm getting the error message; 2) How can I clean up my used space - I don't want to be "penalized" with 864 MB for space that I cannot use since the file is not showing up.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Emil

Hi Nico,

Thank you for your patience with this. Please keep me updated on your progress to see if changing Internet connections helps. Feel free to respond via the Support email as well.

Hi Erica,

I understand your thinking.

I have uploaded a .MOV a .AVI and .MP4 from other sources with no problems.

None of my Panasonic .MP4 ever finished processing.

I will be back in the UK in two weeks with a fast broadband. Let's sort this out then,

Thank you,
Nico M

Hi Nico,

VideoPress is able to process your MP4 files. When I tried uploading one of your videos to my own test account, everything uploaded and was processed correctly.

A slow internet connection can affect your VideoPress uploads. Were you able to re-try uploading the MP4 file you sent to us in your Support ticket? Was it able to load properly?

Have you encountered this issue recently with any .avi or .mov files or have you only been uploading MP4 files of late?

Just a bump! Monday. Hope the NYC storm wasn't too bad.

I really really need your system to process the Panasonic Camera .MP4 files. It is obvious that the Videopress system cannot handle them, and that they ARE OK because you yourself could play them in your player.

This is crucial for me, without these working I will have to cancel Videopress as the majority of my videos are in this format.

Thank you in advance.

Respect,
Nico Morrison

Erica, Got yr update, I've tried uploading a few slices from my Panasonic camera & none of them get processed. I too can play them locally.

If I convert them using Quick Media Converter to what they call "Youtube HD Upload format" then they get processed fine byVideopress.

Something in your processing chain does not like my camera files, other files I can upload fine.

I have just uploaded another slice IMGA0014(00h00m00s-00h00m01s) which does not seem to be being processed.

FYI My upload speeds here in the Himalayan mountains are very slow but that does not seem to impact on anything, I just have to be very patient. I'll be back in the UK in a few weeks & then can work faster.

Thank you for the excellent support. I DO need Videopress to work with my camera files otherwise there's not much point in my paying for it ...

Wow! Support ... great :)

paul_leake_kailash_ray_interviews_1_300h00m00s-00h00m12s.mp4 - The file that works was shot with a Cisco FLIP HD camera and uploaded to flip.com, from which I downloaded it. So it's either a native FLIP camera .mp4 or as re-encoded by flip.com who knows?

imga0009.mp4 - Not working, a direct upload from my Panasonic HM-TA1 camera (UK bought) set to 720p. It and several others (deleted sorry) were all in that format. First time I've had a problem with my camera files, though I convert to .flv so I do not know if they work with Youtube.

I am about to upload a small slice from my camera but set to full HD 1080p, just a couple of seconds, maybe that'll work.

I have a slicer do if you want a file attached to an email 2-3MB, I'm happy to email to you.

Thanks for the support, without my .mp4 camera files working I'm stymied ..

Nico Morrison

I see two MP4s on your Media Library, one of them is playing normally for me. As to the second one, it could have been an encoding error, could you try re-uploading?

nicomorr on "Videopress hanging in processing stage with .mp4 files."

nicomorr — Tue, 23 Aug 2011 07:55:32 +0000

Dear Support,

I just upgraded to Videopress + additional 5GB space.

Works great with .mov & .avi files.

The .mp4 files from my Panasonic HD camera hang somehow, processing never completes.

The same files upload to Youtube just fine & I am baffled as most of my videos are in .mp4 format.

The .mp4 files I tried to upload are listed in my media library but you will see that processing never completed.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Using the Gigya embed codes, it probably can be. see http://wpbtips.wordpress.com and look for the Gigya category.

Hello. I think I understand the restrictions on uploading your own videos without the VideoPress upgrades but what if the video is already being hosted on an outside server and I just want to embed it on my blog?

I want to embed this file http://www.archive.org/download/embryo_RockHudson/EMBRYO_512kb.mp4 on my blog http://RockHudsonBlog.com

Can it be done without the video upgrade?

Wrong forum dude. We can't use plugins or upload themes here. You wasted all that typing.

You have to upload the files somewhere else in order to play them on the blog, but you CAN do it.

It is easier to just convert them and then upload them here. I uploaded mine at the Internet Archive, which deleted them, and Odeo, which seems to have stopped working since the company invented Twitter and got busy with that instead.

jpatterson1221 — Mon, 10 May 2010 05:11:23 +0000

You dont? I did not know that. It wouldnt previously let me upload the files because it wasnt one of the approved file format I thought it would be easier (less techy) for me to just get the space upgrade, which minus having to convert my itunes files to mp3 format was easier then im guessing the other way is. Unless of course I am wrong, which, obviously, wouldnt be the first time today.

It's not just according to the Support docs, it's a flash limitation (applies to other players too).

I suppose they allow you to upload them because you can at least link to them (same situation with PDFs). But users can easily be mislead by this. What's more, many users are misled into thinking you need the space upgrade in order to play music in your blog.

jpatterson1221 — Mon, 10 May 2010 05:02:57 +0000

I am not exactly sure either, but I just tested out with an MP3 file, and it works perfectly. Thank yall so much!!!

raincoaster on "mp4 File not Found"

raincoaster — Mon, 10 May 2010 04:54:34 +0000

Ah, pana is right: it's not a soundfile. The audio player works only with mp3 files, according to the support docs. Which of course makes me wonder why they allow you to upload files you cannot use:

* Please note that if you copy and paste the above code into your visual editor, it will result in errors because there are a few HTML tags within the brackets that are needed so that we can actually display the code (as opposed to the audio player).
    * There should be a space between audio and http.
    * Only mp3 audio files can be played on the WordPress audio player. This is a Flash limitation.
    * The audio player expects the file to be encoded at 44.1kHz
    * The audio player can be used in text widgets.

well that explains a lot, I seriously thought I was just an idiot, apparently it is just too late here, and a sign that I should not be working on this. Thank you!!!!!!

It could well just be the underscore in the name. Try renaming the file on your computer to something that doesn't contain any punctuation, etc, and reuploading it. See if it then works.

The audio player plays mp3s only.

jpatterson1221 on "mp4 File not Found"

jpatterson1221 — Mon, 10 May 2010 04:45:12 +0000

So I searched and thought I followed the directions for uploading a MP4 music file correctly. I upgraded to the Space upgrade, so that I would be able to upload these into my blog, but have been unsuccessful. After uploading the file successfully from my computer, I did select none, so that it would insert the audio player into my blog, but everytime I attempt to play the file on the preview screen, or after the blog has been published, it shows file not found. I read several threads where it appeared they were resolved, but I am not the most tech saavy of them, and apparently it went above my head. Any help, especially in lamens terms, would be most appreciated. I have left one attempted audio file on a post:
http://jpatterson1221.wordpress.com/2010/05/02/why-_______-is-my-future-husband
and this is the file URL listed in my gallery:
