What is "Crunching" of videos and how can I recover from it?
-
Video fails to load and starts “Crunching”. Then I have to reload it entirely again. Working in Nepal we frequently lose power beyond the life of our UPS battery. When we lose connectivity while uploading using the multi-file uploader, the graphic says “crunching” and there does not seem to be any way to recover the videos, or parts of them that were uploaded. They are nowhere to be found in the Media Library. Help, 3 or more hours of upload lost.

Crunching is part of the upload process. It’s not done until that bar reaches 100%.
There is valuable meta data throughout the video file, besides just the frames themselves, so if the video only partially uploads, it is discarded as it will not play properly.

Thanks, Mac! That is good to know, but it sounds like the WordPress server then discards everything and I have to do a whole new upload from the beginning? If that is the case, I am much less motivated to upload videos from here in Nepal. I would have thought that the 100% files they uploaded before starting crunching would have some identifier that the new attempt would link up with and then just have to fill in the blanks. Too simple, huh?
I appreciate you responding. I was thinking there was a black hole out there.
