I'm new here and I want to know about the links area when I'm entering my video. Can you please tell me about the Link and Bitrate area?

hi and welcome,

there are three types of links: indirect, direct and local. if you have your video uploaded to a server other than the local server on this website, you can link it with an indirect or direct link. indirect means a link that will bring you to another webpage where you can click on a link to download the video. direct means a link that is linked directly (hence the name) to the file.

if you want to upload your video to the website's server, you don't need to enter a link in the video in the enter new video process. just skip that step and click the upload video link in the member's menu after you have finished the enter new video process.

forgot to mention,
the link area would give the url of the video (for a direct link) or the page (for an indirect link) you want to link to.

bitrate is the bitrate (bits/second) at which you compressed the video. when you chose the codec to compress your video, you should be able to configure the bitrate. just enter what bitrate you had when you compressed the video.
