Why not setup a repository in git to keep the images etc. there?

...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! :-)
