Creative COW Video Uploads

A couple tips on uploading your videos to the COW server:

1) Keep your video file size under 50MB. We do not accept uploads of videos larger than 50MB at this time.

2) Keep your video width under 900 pixels. We do not accept uploads of videos larger than 900 pixels wide at this time.

3) Use flv, m4v, mov, or mp4 files so we don't re-encode the file which can increase the file size. We do not compress or re-encode files that are uploaded in these formats so that playback will be just as you expect and as clear as it was when it was uploaded. Other formats will be converted to flv format.

4) If you are using flv format everything should be pretty straight forward.

5) For m4v, mov, or mp4 make sure you are using H.264.

6) Audio only formats are converted to flv format and will play through the player.
