Video file question

[Outdoorsfellar]

My Moultrie Delta experience has done a complete turnaround. It's fun as fuck. I love being able to have videos sent . There's always a catch though. I can share the videos on FB, but not here. When I try, I get this popup ...

I've tried different compressors, converters to no avail. I even tried my laptop. Then, the extension message is blocked, so I can't see what extensions are allowed. Any ideas ?

Maybe upload to YouTube then share the link?

@Outdoorsfellar do you like the camera now? Was it a firmware update? Currently looking at adding a couple to my arsenal but after reading several early reviews I’m thinking I may be better off waiting for the Tactacams to become in stock again at the shop I work at. How’s the battery life? Thanks

My experince on this forum is to use one the listed apps in the media icon dropdown:

I'm driving right now so can't answer competey. Should mention that the videos are in MP4 format.

I think they have to be hosted somewhere else, that the site does not act as a host for videos that is. Links to videos is all I think that will work.

Yep. I think the forum only supports upload of image files. Video files are too large and would blow out the server's space if they were to host them like pics. Best bet is to host them on YT or some other video hosting site and then link to them here.

Ok, thanks. I did think about Utube, so ....

It's probably too early to tell for sure, but so far so good. They sent me a replacement Delta which replaced the original Delta that replaced my X6000. I kinda like my Delta's day time pics better than my Tactacam. As much as we were displeased with the Delta, I've had no problems....yet. There's no firmware update yet they told me one is coming, they just don't know when.

Ok.... the Delta's videos are only 15 sec. No other option for that. Surprisingly, Youtube downloads them very quickly.

I've been having yotes come thru recently & was able to get one on video . This is right behind my neighbor's house where I have one of my popups in the corner of the yard ....

Then, I lowered the cam yesterday with hopes of getting a better video of them, but better chance of the IRs spooking , but along came Mr Cam Ham. He was all over & a # of cams caught him.

Correct and correct. They need to be hosted somewhere else due to the massive amounts of storage space we would require to host videos.

Thanks again. I now remember , years ago when I posted videos, it was thru photobucket , & I forgot about using that since it's not around & I've never messed with videos since then.
