I'm trying to upload an .mp4 file to embed in my article. I have made it low quality so that it is under 10M and have made the size 640pxX480px but am getting an unexpected error during upload.

Am I doing something wrong, missing something or is there a problem with uploading .mo4 files?

Thanks,
Mike

Why not throw it up on Youtube or Vimeo and just embed it? Make those sites pay for the bandwidth :)

I tried that; I paste the embed code from YouTube into the article in html format and when I go to design mode it says it can't find it.

I'd report that as a bug. I know I (and a lot of other people) have had issues with the file upload utility. On top of that there seems to be a hamster issue tonight, takes me 3-4 times to post comments.
