You did not specify a blog address or reason for posting when you created this topic.

This support forum is for WordPress.com hosted blogs only. If you have a self-hosted WordPress blog you need to seek help at the WordPress.org forums, not here.

If you don't understand the difference, you may find this information helpful.

Hey, I'm using this doc to help post videos to a WP page:

http://support.wordpress.com/videos/

Great article, but something is wrong. Everything works up to the point where the video is uploaded and I'm looking in the "Media Library". The pop-up window shows that it is a quicktime video, but the only fields I get are the basics (title, description, etc...).

I get no "Display", "Rating", or "Preview", and when I "Insert into Post", it only creates a link to the file.

Has anyone seen this before? Maybe the "Processing Phase" isn't happening. If not, is there a way to force this after the fact?

Thanks!!
