File extensions

[Amy SF]

I filmed a very brief video (2 seconds) with my iPhone 6 and tried to upload it to VeggieViews, but apparently VeggieViews doesn't accept the .MOV file extension. Isn't this a common file extension? Why isn't it allowed? Can the software be tweaked to allow it? Is there any other way of uploading the video to VeggieViews?

I've just added 'mov' to the list of allowed extensions, so please try again now. I'm not sure how well it'll work, but there's only one way to find out for sure!

I tried again to post that 2 second video. It uploaded, but didn't post.

Seems to work for me!

Edit: It's possible you can't see it on a phone? Anyway, it's attached to this post.

Nope, not seeing it on my phone. Just a black page.

Same for me.

You have to download them?
That's too much of a pain!

I tried uploading the video the same way I do for still photos. The video uploaded, but there's no way to actually post it to a thread.

That's a problem with your phone's browser, not really a VV problem, but yeah. You made the video with your phone? If so, you'd think it was able to see it on a web page ...! I'll investigate if there's another way ...

Only way I found so far ...

Again, your browser is being unhelpful ...

Btw, I can see and download the file on my android phone, although it doesn't actually know how to play it. Perhaps it could if I had the right app.

On my PC with google chrome, a file downloads, if I open it, I see a short video of a small fountain with water running down stairs?

Congratulations. That's the video I wanted everyone to see in the chat thread.
