I don't think this BB has the ability to upload a video clip to it, because of general upload restrictions, relating to the size of the uploaded file.
Best technique .. is to upload to free video upload website of your choice (e.g. - YouTube, Putfile, Rapidshare) .. then post the URL link to it, on here ..
It saves the bandwidth on this site from being eaten up excessively, thataway .. video files can be sizeable ..

No attachments can be uploaded onto Pprune. All the images you see are hosted on 3rd party sites and then linked to the post using the buttons above. To publicise a video you'll need to join YouTube, upload it, and then post the link.

I am not 100%, but would it be possible to upload the video to another server, and then just add the code to the thread to run a video, i am not to sure if HTML is enabled on this BB, but if it is, then it could be done that way, there are loads and loads of places to upload to.

Thank you. I have managed to upload the video clip into photobucket but what icon from this posting page do I click into? You only get either "insert an image" or "insert a link", not insert a Video.

Because you can't; as explained several times here (posts 2 & 3).
The best you can do now is post a link to your Photobucket video clip upload (Insert Link).

TaAll you have to do, is open a new window for the website where your video is stored .. highlight, copy and paste the video address in the address bar (URL) .. then return to the PPRuNe page .. click on "insert a link", and paste the address you copied ..
When you preview the page, the link should be working, and you should be able to click on it .. whereby it will open a new window with the video in it .. :ok:

And the clip has to stay in 'your' Photobucket for it to be accessible? If it is deleted, the link doesn't work, correct?:confused:
