[Moodle] Videos in moodle - file sizes - VLC player?

[James Poulos]

If you are having trouble changing the file upload size, you need to
modify the php.ini file first before Moodle will allow a bigger size.
The values you need to change are:
post_max_size =
and
upload_max_filesize =

I have mine set to 32M.
Once this is done you will be able to set a higher default value in
Moodle.

Thanks,
James
