Thank you to everyone with your knowledge and tips. Keeping my fingers crossed!
Thank you so much for the detailed info. That will be very helpful. Since the camera is not mirrorless, would that change anything?
I will be in Mexico at the time of the eclipse, and want to make sure I have the correct setting for picture taking. Thank you in advance for your recommendations.
For the last two weeks, I have had one continuing problem with uploading MP4 videos. Customer Service has been very responsive but there is still no fix after trying all of their suggestions so far. Basically, only the smallest of my videos have loaded. I got another suggestion this morning that I will try 🤞🤞🤞 P.S. Have not had problems loading pictures, just videos. Most recent album had about 190 pictures with no snags.
gmBrandon - I thought I submitted my reply to you yesterday, but now I don't see it here. If you didn't see it either, let me know and I will re-write the info again.
gmBrandon - After several suggestions from flickr (check/delete plug-ins, extensions, ad blockers), I continued to have the same problem as recently as yesterday. Tried multiple times as I did each day. Then it finally just worked with no additional changes. A flickr rep this morning said that they had encountered issues on their side that could have caused the problem. In any case, we'll see what happens when I finish working on the next album that has many more MP4s.
steved3604 - thank you for the additional information. Your explanation was very clear - now I understand the relationship between MP4 and codec. Appreciate it. Thank you.
gmbrandon - I sent flickr one of the videos that didn't load, but she said she was able to load it without a problem. She said that this confirms that the video is ok. Then she asked me to check on plug-ins and ad blockers. Don't know how to do that so I asked her to send me instructions so I can check that out. She also asked for a screenprint of the error, which I did. And I also let her know that just 2 days ago I loaded another album with videos without any problem at all. I'll send any additional updates as soon as I can.
gmbrandon, I saw the same info on flickr. It's the 1st time I have not been able to submit MP4 videos. I have contacted flickr but am still waiting for a response. I guess I don't understand the H.264 part of this.
Bubbee, thank you for the suggestions. Will check those out, too.
kymarto - thank you. I will try that out.
Thank you for that info, George. I checked it out but I was unable to find how to convert from MP4 to H.264 format, vs. actually 'editing' a video. I have contacted flickr, too, but I am still waiting for a reply. If you do come across any other simple way to make that conversion, please let me know.
Flickr no longer accepts mp4. Flickr recommends to convert to h.264. Have been unabe to find a simple way to do that on PC with windows11. Any suggestions? I did try a couple of apps on PC, but they were not easy to figure out. Thanks for any simple options. Thank you.
