   Does anyone know how to change the size of the video files allowed for upload and in what directory I would do that? I called my hosting company and they told me they did not support making that kind of change.
   Thanks

   If you are on a shared hosting provider there's a good chance you will not be able to change it yourself. From the book "WordPress Bible" Part 1 page 22 says:

   For optimal WordPress performance, edit your php.ini file (usually located at /etc/php.ini on Linux servers) and set (edit) the configurations to match those shown here:
   memory_limit = 8M
   upload_max_filesize = 8M
   display_errors = Off
   If you don't know where your php.ini configuration file is, you can create a small PHP configuration file on your site. Call it phpinfo.php, type <?php phpinfo()?>, and save the file. Load it into your browser and you should see a descriptive configuration page describing your PHP setup, as shown in Figure 2.1. The location of the PHP configuration file is listed under Loaded Configuration File.

   Here's an old article I found on it as well: http://andrewapeterson.com/2008/04/maximum-file-size-for-uploads-in-wordpress-25-1and1-web-hosting/

   Thanks I will check the article out. I called Go Daddy (my hosting service) but was told that for that change I was on my own. Thanks again for the info!
   Regards
