Did you try to upload a .mp4 file and you got an error that looks a lot like this?

@Image can't be blank@
@Image size can't be blank@
@Image width can't be blank@
@Image height can't be blank@
@Image mime type (video/mp4) is invalid@
@Image duration can't be blank@
@Image orig sha512 hash can't be blank@

That's because Philomena only supports "WebM":https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebM video, and transcoding is extremely hardware-intensive unlessto ydou on thave a graphics-caerver side.

*So how do I upload videos, then?*
If you have a .mp4 file, you can search online for many online conversion tools, such as "Convertio":https://convertio.co/mp4-webm/ or "CloudConvert":https://cloudconvert.com/mp4-to-webm. The default settings should be good enough, *but you will need to change the audio codec* (see below).

If your file is too large to upload to an online conversion tool, "Handbrake":https://handbrake.fr/ is a powerful encoding tool that's available on all platforms. (It's a frontend for @ffmpeg@, so if you're familiar with that software Handbrake should be fairly straightforward).

Please use the following settings when transcoding:
*Video codec:* @vp9@ (sometimes called @libvpx-vp9@)
*Audio codec:* @vorbis@ (@opus@ is the default, but not all browsers support it yet, so your video might not have sound!)

Please post below if you have any questions!
