Movie file size per second limits?

Cika · 03-03-2009, 09:22 PM

Hello, I am a raider and movie maker in the US guild EXODUS. In the past, around sunwell time, we tried to upload a Kil'Jaeden(was 5th worldwide kill, second video on the site) video to this site and the video was NOT approved.

Reason being: File size per length was to large.
Video size: 707mb
Video Length: 13:17
mb/s: .89

Also note: around this time method and sk were also uploading videos with similar ratios, and getting approved.

I was wondering if this limit still exists, and what it is. Because I see guilds like method for example, uploading a freya kill that is

Video Size: 442mb
Video Length: 5:00
mb/s: 1.48

This screams of special treatment, and it irritates me because I plan on uploading videos when new content comes out, and quite frankly I don't want to waste my time creating and rendering a 15 minute video to have it denied for a bogus reason.

So could someone please clarify this "limit" to me.

Give one of the admins a poke with a private message either on this forum of via the wcm website mail system. I know I had similar issues back when I first started out. If I think back it was a simple mistake by the person who reviewed my Void Reaver movie and mistakenly thought the compression was not enough.

Also I think allowances are sometimes made for first to publish content so long as it is of sufficient quality to merit the status.

The current file-size limit is about 25mb/minute, on rare movies we can accept as much as 50mb/minute but never close to 1mb/sec.
