Forum:Filesize Restriction

Hello. I've gotten OGG audio files enabled on my wiki along with standard image filetypes, with a maximum filesize of 10mb. (I think this is normal, if not it may have been increased without my being notified)

Unfortunately, the largest files I'm aware of are up to 12 or maybe even 15mb - I haven't checked quite that far ahead - and as a site owner I'm aware of how precious bandwidth can be. Therefore I'd like to hear if anyone has any free, preferably simple methods of compressing OGG files to a more fitting filesize? If not I may have to request an increase, but I'm hesitant to do so if there's another simple method of resolving it. - Xelrog T. Apocalypse 04:09, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

If I can add something to this, I also keep getting a 'Not Allowed' message when I try to use the OGG player application that I've gotten activated on my Wiki, even for working files. They'll work half the time, but the other half of the time, this message will appear and the file simply won't play. Does anyone know what the cause of this might be? - Xelrog T.

 * Are... bumps allowed? I didn't spot any forum rules on the page, and I could very much use a bit of advice. - Xelrog T. Apocalypse 21:59, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Bumps are allowed, but it seems that there isn't anyone with answers. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 22:24, 24 April 2009 (UTC)


 * So... what... should I just request the size limit increase? To be honest, the wiki isn't exactly massive yet, which is why I'm hesitant to add to the burden if I don't have to. -.-


 * By the way, I did end up resolving the 'Not allowed' issue. I still don't know what the problem is, but I've always had it - I forgot that I used to have it set to the Quicktime player rather than the Monaco one and had reset my cache since then. Switched it back to QT and they're playing fine, now. ^^ - Xelrog T. Apocalypse 22:30, 24 April 2009 (UTC)


 * If you still need a filesize bump, I recommend requesting it via Special:Contact. 15:05, 27 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I already did... but, unfortunately, the maximum size limit for any wiki is 10mb, so I'm at an impass. I may end up having to split the files in halves. ;/ - Xelrog T. Apocalypse 19:40, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
