How can I add more allowed file extensions?

[Flo2005]

I have a question about 3gp...

We have a lot of wmv videos on our server. The user only should view the wmv format!

Now I want to add a function that users can download these videos also in 3gp e.g. for their mobilephones.

I donīt know (donīt believe) if itīs possible to convert these videos automatically on the fly when the user will download this video in 3gp.

So I think I convert every video myself and load it to my server. So how can I add a button - Download as 3gp -

Iīll be happy when somebody has a nice idea or a better way for spending time (over 700 videos to convert)

download url wont work?

[Flo2005]

The download works, but users can only download this file what they seeing on details.php... e.g. the wmv video...

I'm sorry but i searched everything i could think of.  My problem seems to be a bit different.  When i try to upload a movie file, like an AVI  it seems like its going to upload.  I get no error message.  then nothing uploads.  The only thing i'm able to upload are images.  Everything seems to be fine.  I even tried to upload a file i know i didnt have an extention for and i did get an error so i know that works.  I'm uploading movie files way under my upload limit so i know thats not the problem.  Could someone help me with this?

are you sure that that filesize is less then upload_max_filesize set in php.ini ? (check phpinfo)

[Hailer]

if you have 1.72 you find phpinfo in the CP.
there should be then a value for max uploaded file size

I am on 1.7.1

However, I did go to the control panel and adjust the max size to allow the video i am trying to upload, but it still returns with "please select an image file."

99% is that your files are bigger then upload_max_filesize value in php.ini

@ m3tallica and all other wmv-friends,

WMV as new valid file extensions

Oustanding..thanks, works perfectly...thanks for the advice

[Mindraider]

Great post. Thanks!

[Freak Show]

Hey, your instructions worked beautifully for the wmv's.

But I was hoping for something that would somehow produce a thumbnail through the autothumb process that's actually derived from the video itself. So lets say the video is of a beach, I need a beach to show up as the thumbnail. Can someone tell me how to do that? Pretty please?

[CeJay]

you will have to do that yourself either with a certain kind of editing software or by playing the video and taking a screenshot
