[Moodle] Videos in moodle - file sizes - VLC player?

[Michael Greenhill]

The setting in apache.conf overrides that of php.ini, but at the cost of
(slightly) increased processing time per page. So, if you have the value for
max_upload_size in php.ini set to 12mb and the value for it in apache.conf
set to 20mb, you'll be able to upload a 20mb file. 

That's assuming you don't have the max_upload_size defined elsewhere, eg in
a .htaccess file :) 

While you're changing settings in php.ini, set error_reporting to "E_ALL ^
E_NOTICE", and display_errors to "off".

VLC is a free video player that seems to handle many codecs. I don't
know if its available for Windows.

There are a couple of places to look if you want to increase the maximum
upload file size. I can only speak for Linux so your files might be
somewhere else.

File 				Line to find/edit
=============================================================
/etc/moodle/apache.conf		php_value upload_max_filesize
/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini	upload_max_filesize
==============================================================

Hope this helps

Laurie
