Quick tips on filenames - why your files show unexpected percentages - % - and may not work in some browsers!

We notice some members use 'exotic' characters when naming their files

The most common being a space between words which describe the file. Now you might not think a space is particularly important - but online it can wreck havok with your files!

The filenames which you set on your computer for ease of use and remembering, when uploading the file to your Amazon account, the name is carried over. Which you then use as the core reference for creating your players etc

However, this can have adverse effects to your finished video.

Filenames on the internet should only contain alpha numeric characters. Browsers will interpret the filename and if it is not alpha-numeric there's no guarantee the file will show (or your video will play)

Instead of using a space between words, use an underscore

And try not to use foreign or accented characters, or any other punctuation.

This will make sure that all your players work correctly.
