    I am trying to upload a video as a post. The video is less then two minutes long. I edited the video in imovie and the format is .m4v. I click “post” – “add new” – “upload video” – after I select the video from my computer and click “upload” nothing happens. Why is this happening? Can someone explain to me how I can upload a video. Thanks.

    Just upload the video via FTP into a folder like myvideos. Switch the editor to html and insert the code of your video url. Could be that the format of your video requires an additional plugin like, Embedded Video. Upload into plugin folder and activate.

    Ok, So do I upload the video via my Domain Host or wordpress? Should I activate the Embedded Video plugin? I am somewhat new to this so if you could walk me through the steps I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

    Easiest would be, if you have no FTP, you upload your videos at youtube. When entering the youtube url into a wordpress post, it displays your video instantly. Make sure you enter the code, e.g. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMCf7SNUb-Q , when your wordpress editor is in the html mode.
