That will depend on the hosting place. Every place has a different limit. You can see about some of them here.

As far as LVI goes - no limit, but the longer your vid is, the harder you will have to work to keep it interresting the whole way through. If you can't do that, you won't win an award, simply put . lol.

Very true! I was thinking in MBs not minutes... For vid length, my own personal preference is around 3 minutes long. To me, anything that runs much over 4 begins to "feel" too long unless it's really extraordinary. And anything over 5 is almost impossible to keep exciting and enthralling all of the way through. Not that it can't be done, of course. It just gets much harder to do, in my opinion.

Thanks guys. I just had a funny feeling that there was a limit to the size.
