In a previous wall post regarding whether or not TG should require all score performance videos to be uploaded to TG directly, some questions came up regarding multiple file uploads, marathons, etc.

Instead of posting a response to those in that thread I would like to answer them here separately so they can be found more easily.

1.) You can upload more than one file for your score submission.

On the submission form you will see this button:When you click this button in your submission form, it will open a dialog window where you are supposed to select which file(s) to upload - just pick all the files you want to upload right there (up to five.)

You will then upload multiple videos.

We will change the wording on the button to "Choose File(s)" so it is less confusing.

Also Maximum Video Size has been raised to 10GB per file. We will update that text too.

What this means is that you have a total of 50 GIGABYTES worth of submission upload space.

2.) Marathons.

Since TG can accept multiple files, it is possible to take one long single marathon video performance and cut it into up to 5 separate pieces that are less than 10 GB each and then upload them all at once in your submission, using the method described above.

You should be able to compress most marathons to fit within 50 GB. I've personally seen 24 hour long videos compressed to under 10GB.

This kind of feat can be accomplished by reducing your video resolution or increasing your compression settings, or both.

A great piece of software that can allow you to split your videos and compress them to any general size you are trying to achieve is https://videoconverter.iskysoft.com/ - it is super handy and worth every penny.

3.) Limited connections.

While there is nothing that TG can do to fix situations where a user has a poor connection, the strongest recommendation is for that user to compress what they want to upload as much as possible before trying to upload. I think I saw in the other thread discussion someone say they had a 2hr 9min video that was 17GB in size - this is a perfect example where further compression could greatly help as that file size could have been brought way down to under 3GB or less with the right tool and that would have made the upload more manageable on a slower connection.

Hope this helps.
