There are several limitations that can keep you from uploading huge files. You (as coppermine admin) should use FTP-upload plus batch-add to upload videos, as this is the only method to circumvent browser timeouts.
For details, read the upload troubleshooting section of the docs and do exactly as suggested there. Don't post debug_output unless requested.
