Let Jerry play with your video.

Upload wmv video to photobucket or similar site.

Jerry can download and play with it until he finds the AARP bug.

Jerry's answer will help all of us in the future.


p.s. Tip:  Uploads  to AARP work better during the day . . . during the week. . .

Try an old wmv that worked in the past.  Just change the name and upload.

HI willynilly7,

yes... arrp seems to still have that issue about uploading videos... I believe it the

way thier converter program works and there not able to properly convert it... don't

why it hasn't been fixed yet... but anyway a work around.....

 

what i suggest is get your self a little freeware video converter and convert your

wmv file to flv format... then up load... that will work.... go to download.com they have

several freeware you can choose from

The aarp site has so many glitches within its groups, and I doubt they even care.. they havent cared so far, and it seems to do no good in contacting them... personally i doubt they even try or read complaints concerning software issues... they like everyone else dont want to deal with senior issues, and  in my opinion they look at seniors as needing supervision, and guidance, but they dont follow through when the chips are down.... there are many people in these groups who are not even seniors,  I do not consider people in thier 50s as seniors, and the only reason aarp does is to recruit more people to join..its a money thing
