Share on Ovi Failing the Video Upload Test
In my last post, I took a screencast of my VMware session where I was running Google Chrome to show off how you can drag a tab off the main Chrome window and have it create it’s own window. The capture file was about 14 seconds of video and about 608k total, 1280×800 encoded in H.264 at 5 frames a second. Not a particularly big file.
Being a dogfood kind of guy, I uploaded the movie to Share on Ovi. I got a warning that it might take a long time because of excessive server load or somesuch. Meanwhile, I uploaded my video to YouTube and it was done encoding within a couple of minutes. Guess which version I featured on my blog.
I hope they’re beefing up their server capacity or something, because taking more than a few minutes to transcode a video that small just doesn’t seem acceptable to me.

Sounds weird; I’ve uploaded a few audio files, as well as a few videos in the last week that were created on E71 and N95 devices and they were much longer than and larger than your clips and those posted just fine. Might just be a momentary issue with the server on their end.

I thought it was weird, too. Hopefully it is (or was) a temporary thing. Maybe it didn’t like the oddly-formatted file?
