Description
"VID_1234.mp4 exceeds the maximum upload size for this site."
That's what you see on most hosts when trying to upload a video, even one only a few seconds long. This is a dead end that could be so much more helpful. Just a link to a codex page on how to bump upload_max_filesize and post_max_size or install a video plugin would be welcome, but this seems a place where we should aspire to greater smoothness.

This is a case where WordPress should use plupload's chunking features to upload files in mutliple chunks which are smaller than, or equal to, the maximum upload size.
upload_max_filesize
andpost_max_size
can both be set in.htaccess
. This only works for PHP 5.3+, but it would mean a smoother experience for the vast majority of people.
