Dear moderators,\nWe all sometimes suffer sometimes from the 1GB upload limit. If we want to bring that higher, without having to host trillions of Terabytes, accepting some quality loss but not too much, what would be an acceptable upload limit?\nAny input appreciated,\nPascal.Login to Reply","permalink":"https:\/\/make.wordpress.org\/tv\/2019\/10\/01\/video-upload-limit\/","unixtime":1569920707,"unixtimeModified":1569920707,"entryHeaderMeta":"","linkPages":"","footerEntryMeta":"","tagsRaw":"","tagsArray":[],"loginRedirectURL":"https:\/\/login.wordpress.org\/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fmake.wordpress.org%2Ftv%2F2019%2F10%2F01%2Fvideo-upload-limit%2F&locale=en_US","hasPrevPost":false,"prevPostTitle":"","prevPostURL":"","hasNextPost":false,"nextPostTitle":"","nextPostURL":"","commentsOpen":true,"is_xpost":false,"editURL":null,"postActions":"Post ActionsLogin to ReplyScrollShortlink","comments":["type":"comment","id":"1701","postID":"8771","postTitleRaw":"Video upload limit","cssClasses":"comment byuser comment-author-casiepa bypostauthor even thread-odd thread-alt depth-1","parentID":"0","contentRaw":"4GB ?","contentFiltered":"4GB ?\n","permalink":"https:\/\/make.wordpress.org\/tv\/2019\/10\/01\/video-upload-limit\/#comment-1701","unixtime":1569920719,"loginRedirectURL":"https:\/\/login.wordpress.org\/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fmake.wordpress.org%2Ftv%2F2019%2F10%2F01%2Fvideo-upload-limit%2F%23comment-1701&locale=en_US","approved":true,"isTrashed":false,"prevDeleted":"","editURL":null,"depth":1,"commentDropdownActions":"","commentFooterActions":"Login to Reply","commentTrashedActions":"Untrash","mentions":[],"mentionContext":"","commentCreated":"1569920719","hasChildren":false,"userLogin":"casiepa","userNicename":"casiepa","type":"comment","id":"1702","postID":"8771","postTitleRaw":"Video upload limit","cssClasses":"comment byuser comment-author-tacticalreviewsblog odd alt thread-even depth-1","parentID":"0","contentRaw":"I'd second Pascal's 4GB for the following reasons, but also add the stipulation that the maximum resolution be Full HD 1080p (no 4k etc):\n1.
