I have an mp4 format video with duration of around 2 minutes and file size is about 60 MB. Whenever I tried to post, it gives me an error of "File entity is too large" and for another video with more duration the error was "Payload too large".

I tried to check in About section but couldn't find anything about the duration or file size limits. Can some one please help me out?

You could cut it up in smaller parts to both check the size limit, and being able to post it all.

Hi, firstly thanks for your suggestion.

That's something I am planning to do and I did with one minute of video earlier which worked. But, I just thought to know the exact duration or size limits of upload so that

1. I can make target the entire video file size to that size limit
2. If I can't then I would chop the videos in smaller parts to post

By any chance, do you know if this information documented or available somewhere in the site about the upload specific size limits?

The file upload limit is 20mb.

I do tend to find this fairly limiting for videos. From someone with some experience sharing videos here, you have two major options:

1. Use catbox.moe to upload instead; it works well.
2. Re-compress or resize the video.

60mb for 2min suggests to me that it's fairly big or high bitrate.

Take a looks at some of my recent posts for reference - https://fedinsfw.app/u/BlueWindsBreeze - all videos are below 20mb (usually exactly on the mark) - my most recent one is about 5:30, and 19.9mb at 510x910 resolution. Lower than the source quality? Sure, but it still looks fine.

I also have a 1280x720 video, 1:55 in length, again just under 20mb. Resizing and re-encoding is more an art than a science, but ffmpeg has fairly sensible defaults, and it'll often come up with a version that's half the size of the source without significantly degrading quality.

Hopefully some of that was helpful, beyond the factual first sentence which directly answers the question. :D

Hi BlueWindsBreeze, thank you for all the useful info, it really answered my questions.

I also enjoyed checking your profile, and about Manjaro KDE (Beauty with brains...🤓). Wishing you continued growth and more great posts! 😁

No, sorry.

Please do post your findings though!

No worries. I noticed whatever BlueWindsBreeze mentioned in the previous discussion seems to be accurate information. There is no duration limit as long as the maximum file size limit is 20 MB equal and below
