Client needs to upload large video files

[quote author="BrianDHall" date="1255932296"]I would definately go with a mix of AJAX or AJAX/Flash uploader, then you should still be able to handle the uploaded file with codeigniter. Be sure to be careful of session lifetime (if a session times out during a file upload you might be taken be surprise on why certain files don't upload quite right), script max execution time, and of course setting the max uploadable file size to large enough to handle the file.

The main reason I prefer ajax/flash uploader combinations is they provide the user with the sort of feedback they need, like file size of chosen file, upload speed, and how long until completion. Without this info the user will tend to run into problems with script timeouts on the user side, or wondering "what on earth is going on..." when it might be hours before a file finishes uploading.[/quote]

My friend uses this JQuery plugin for his http://pixavid.com site and it seems an ideal solution. I am going to give it a try on my latest CI project.
