VideoPress
When researching the ability to post videos to this website I find that I need a CDN solution
to overcome the inherrent slow speeds that a non-commercial website hosting can offer.
State of the art CDN
Leverage one of the most advanced content delivery networks in the world.

The use on a Wordpress website
Even Wordpress who advertise the capabilties of their platform promote the use of VideoPress as
the standard Wordpress hosting is not up to task to provide buffer-free video presentation. Even the
use of You Tube, Facebook and other Social platforms would be a better solution than to just posting
a media file to the media library.
What the Videopress help says:
VideoPress is compatible with various video formats, including MP4 (.mp4, .m4v), QuickTime movies (.mov),
Windows Media Video (.wmv), Audio Video Interleave (.avi), MPEG (.mpg), Ogg (.ogv), 3GPP (.3gp), and 3GPP2
(.3g2). For optimal results and better compatibility with other WordPress editor blocks (aside from the
Video block), refer to our Recommended Video Settings.
VideoPress converts your uploaded video file into the MP4 format. Our MP4 files are encoded with H.264 video
and AAC audio lossy compression codecs.
VideoPress performs effectively for files up to 1GB. Keep in mind that as the file size increases, there’s a
higher chance of the upload process failing. Many networks have a timeout limit, typically when a
file size exceeds 1.4GB. Videos that are smaller or compressed also load more quickly for your visitors.
While the maximum upload size is 6GB, plugin-enabled sites have a limit of 2GB. However, on plugin-enabled
sites, you can still upload larger files using SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol).
Videos over three hours will be converted to standard resolution but won’t be available in higher-resolution
formats.
All files are optimized for progressive loading, enabling viewers to play your video while it downloads
