8GB video upload problem - solution

[Jim Michaels]

in the php.ini,
post_max_size=8M
is the default and file size is 2M. so guess what the post_max_size should
be if the file size is 10MB... 40M.
that's called encode bloat.

sorry to multipost - my news client lost the original post and I didn't have
anything to reply to, and I wanted to provide this.

If you're sending 40MB of data for a 10MB file you have your form set up
incorrectly or your browser is broken.

Base64 encoding multiples a file's size by 4/3. 2M will become about
2.66MB.
