...yes, really :-)

I do apologize for gumming-up the wiki with these oversized image
files. They really don't belong on the wiki. Perhaps Camille and I can
work with you to find a replacement tool for storing all of our source
media! Or rather, perhaps we can take the lead on that task and
coordinate with you -- I don't want to take more of your time than
necessary.

As a quick fix, I'd suggest moving it up to 10MB. Even though the wiki
is serving as our defacto repository for source media for design team
stuff, I think it's reasonable to have reservations about throwing
anything larger up than 10MB without having a really good reason,
first :-)

I'm puzzled myself! A 3.8MB file and a ~ 6MB file worked. But a couple
of 4.1MB files and a ~7MB file did not, so it's not like I'm seeing a
direct correlation with file size. Maybe there's something about the
complexity of the encoding...bit depth...something that makes the
internal processing stop.

Great! :-)
