My video is 503mb! Arrrgg in the Vimeo General Discussion Forum

I guess there is no way to convince anyone to let me post it? Heck, I would even let them take away my 500mb limit the next week!

Think I have any shot at it?

I agree, there should be like a choice if you'd rather sacrifice your next week's space.

Just re-encode your video at a slightly smaller data rate. 10-50kbps should do it (depending on the length of your video) and you should lose virtually zero visual quality.

I had the same problem once, you'd think you could get away with it, but nope, Vimeo knows when the video is 499MB and when it is 501MB, maybe even 500.01MB. I just had to edit it again, and take out a few seconds of the video.

Yeah, that stinks. I just hate to have to re-encode the video. It is like 10 min long and in HD so it takes FOREVER. Oh well. Thanks for the replies!!!
