It should work since there are no size limits of any kind. What error do you get?

that's what i thought at the very beginning. i tried numerous times but still failed for the clips over 2mb . normally it shows the file and "add to post" after you hit "add this attachment". but after upload completed, it shows nothing . it's back to the same screen that looks like i hit the "add reply" button .

I have the same problems as well and mine are MPEGS. It does that same thing that Alohalc stated.

I just found a php setting which limits file uploads to 5 MB -- are your files larger than this? There's another setting which I've mentioned that limits how long a script can run, I believe it's set to 120 seconds. So if your file is say 10 MB and your connection is slow, that upload won't complete before the 120 sec limit and you'd get an error that way. It can be so many things! Let me know.
