Help me test my latest project

I uploaded a nice 75MB mov file and it seems to have worked.

One suggestion I would make, and you may already have this planned, is an upload progress bar or somehting similar. The only way I could check that my file was uploading was to look at my outgoing connection through my firewall.
 
Yup, already on the to do list.

I'm not sure your .mov has encoded properly - I'll have a look tomorrow.

Thanks for your help. :)

Yeah, I couldn't get the upload to play. I wasn't sure if it hadn't worked or if it was just the wirelarse I'm on tonight being slow.

Fixed your .mov, we were missing an audio codec. Very useful test file, thankyou :).
 
I tried to upload a 2.2 GiB .avi to see if breaking the 2 GiB maximum would break it. I don't know what it did as it just said "uploading" for about 6 hours. I'll try again before I go to bed tonight if you want me to test it again.
 
If you're uploading from the US, you might not be getting a fantastic transfer rate. It could be simply timing out. Was your browser still sending out data when you gave up?

I'm assuming people will use the FTP upload for the really big stuff :).
 
You can if you like but anything over the 2GB limit won't actually generate an error, it'll just dump you back to the main page. Perhaps that's what happened but the button should have reverted to its previous status instead of staying as 'uploading...'

Could you perhaps try a 1.5GB file? That would be a more useful test as the system would then have to deal with it without imploding ;).
 
Doesn't seem to allow upload using Opera.

Thanks. Is there an error message?

BillytheImpaler, I'm guessing it was you that uploaded that 500MB Star Trek spoof. The CPU is still maxed out encoding it. I guess I'm going to need a dedicated encoding box if I'm to allow files this large ;).
 
I did upload that, sir. That is a movie that is officially distributed on BitTorrent so I didn't think the creators would mind much. :)

Though it maxed out the CPU, it did end up coming out perfect. I think your software is working nicely.
 
I think we've screwed up the aspect ratio a bit though ;). I'm going to do something about that later - I need to add something to my perl script to grab the dimensions of the original from the ffmpeg output then calculate the proper dimensions for the new file.
 
Aspect ratios sorted (I think :p). Thumbnails/links for forums/websites added. Various other bugs fixed. Around 30% complete now I'd say. Thanks again everyone for your help with testing :).
