 * I too have been having problems uploading. In my case I was able to upload pictures
   using the browser uploader, but when I try to upload a video it doesn’t show 
   up in the media browser. I had to use the browser uploader because the flash 
   uploader didn’t work at all. But this was to be expected since I am using Ubuntu
   9.04 64bit and the Flash 10 plug-in won’t install on the 64bit system. Question:
   can’t I just ftp the video to the proper place, and where is that?

 * It’s possible that the video file size may exceed the maximum upload size defined
   by default in php.ini.

 * ‘Yep. You sure can. The most efficient route, may be to just create a new directory
   in your WordPress installation named “video” (or whatever you want it to be named),
   and then upload your videos to that directory via ftp client. Just make sure 
   your embed path points to that folder when you post an uploaded video. I do that
   with my .flv’s and my .mp3’s, and it seems to work just fine.

 * jbrown75n – If you need to do things with flash support setup WINE and install
   IE or Firefox for Windows plus Flash. Most of my computers are Linux and that
   is what I have on all of them. You can also try installing IEs4Linux which bypasses
   the WINE install and flassh is part of the package.
 * I agree with Clayton. FTP’ing the way he gave is much easier. Especially if you
   have a large number. The Uploader is just complicating it but is excellent for
   most people who tend not to use ftp.
