About the video: https://nrkbeta.no/2009/12/18/bergensbanen-eng/

I would like to upload a video, in high definition, over seven hours long, to Wikimedia Commons. The file size of 11.11 GB exceeds the apparent hard limit of 4 GB. The video has educational value and is suitably licensed for inclusion on Wikimedia Commons.

I have converted the video to WebM and made it available online here: https://storage.cloud.google.com/hareflash/Bergensbanen_full-length.webm (now taken offline)

Hello @Harej, thank you for filling this task. However, since filesize is stored as 32 bits unsigned integer, it is not possible to upload a file larger than 4 GB in any way, even server-side (see T191804 and T191802 for discussions to extend this limit). You have to either split it to fit into the 4 GB limit or make it smaller.
