Video section improvements

I've been working hard on the videos section to improve the video quality and get the videos working on Apple devices. This has involved re-encoding all of the videos on the website to convert them into a different format.

The re-encoding has rotated some of videos to display the correct way up and also standardized the aspect ratio to wide-screen 16:9. Some of these videos will now appear with black borders on the sides so that they still fill the viewing area.

Some of the older videos (over around 4 years old) could not be correctly encoded and will not currently display. I'll to to recover as many of these as possible over the next few days.

If you have any problems with missing or corrupt videos please let me know and if possible I'll recover them for you from the source files.

The benefit of all this is that you should see a slight improvement in video quality and that videos should now display on Apple devices such as iPads and iPhones and modern Android devices.

Alas not working for iPhone 4, I only get black screens


I've tested the videos on iPhone 4 and they work ok for me. Are you still having a problem with this? It could be a network/bandwidth issue causing the videos to take a long time to load. Which video are you trying to look at when this happens?

I've increased the upload limit today. You should now be able to upload files of upto 50mb. Just make sure you wait a minute or so for the file to process and the page to redirect once the upload bar reaches 100%.
