Video Sizes!

[element059]

Hello,

I am using coppermine as a video gallery and am also using it as a photo album on my website. I have set the max width of videos to be "400". However, quicktime video sizes appear to be small and do not pay attention to the size variable and WMV files are just whatever size they want to be. Why are the video files not paying attention to the size variable?

Quicktime Error Example:

WMV Error Example:

Many thanks,

- Laurence

There is no setting for a maximum width of a video.  You are thinking of the max width/height for pictures.  If you want to set the display size, that would be in the file's property settings.  Click the edit files button next to the album, find the video, put in the size.

This has also been discussed in many posts.  Please search before posting.

Coppermine doesn't "know" the dimensions of a video file, that's why you have to specify the dimensions as suggested by kegobeer. The image libraries coppermine can work with (ImageMagick or GD) are just what the name suggests: image libraries - they can't process video files. To coppermine, videos are just "another document", and it only triggers that the browsers attempts to display a mdeia player app within the browser, that's all.
