Problems uploading video?

We've all been having problems uploading video to our blogs. One thing I've not tried before worked today - filmed this on my iPad, then selected the option to email it. This compressed the video, I downloaded the email to my laptop, and it has uploaded quite easily. Worth a try, all of you, as another way to upload your videos to your blog.
