Dumb question??

I have read all the posts here on inserting video within an app (not URL) but still can't figure it out... Pardon my ignorance=) My video file is 111mb and I want to insert it into my files section of my BT server... Do I need to upload the video first to my hosting website (go daddy)? I click upload button and then it says invalid request after a couple mins.... audio and images have been uploaded fine....

Yes you should upload to your server first. However before that I recommend using Handbrake to bring the mb down. Check this post and video http://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=8D84DD7737A6BF917C71E47 I recently used those settings and cut the size by half! ps. there is no such thing as a dumb question :)

You might need to use FTP to upload a file of that size to your web host as mysps has recommended. Most webhosts limit the upload size via php, and that may be why you were getting the invalid request.
