- blackfox9867 years agoExplorer | Level 3I have tested with very short videos and longer ones. The issue does not seem to be related to file size.
I am trying to upload via Camera Upload, but it gives an error like the file is corrupted. I am able to manually upload the videos, which is my current workaround.

Any other ideas?
