Fish video Test embed

Yes, you can upload MPG files to Scrapbook. (You have to click on the 'Full Size' link on the picture page to play it; it's about 2.8Mb, and LJ doesn't serve it terribly fast.

It's supposed to be 25 seconds, right? That's what Winamp says, but it only plays about 2.

About 8 sec on my Mediaplayer. The first time I tried it didn't download the whole thing, I think.

Given the hassle, it appears worth to get a YouTube account, which serves videos much faster and more easily - I have no idea what format you need to upload them in, though, but the embedding works a treat.

I agree it isn't a satisfactory solution -- I just wanted to try it out because ritaxis asked about it.

If I had videos worth posting, I might well try YouTube.
