Before uploading films to the North East Movies website please read the guidelines below.

The maximum file size you can upload is 100MB.

There is no limit on the number of files you can upload at this time.

North East Movies accepts video files from almost any digital camera, camcorder or mobile phone. These include: AVI, MOV, WMV, ASF, MPG, 3GP and MP4.

The file you upload will be automatically converted into an Adobe Flash video file to ensure reliable streaming from our servers. It will also be converted into formats suitable for download to iPod Video, Sony PSP and mobile phone.

If possible, we suggest uploading the original source file. However, we recommend the specifications below for maximum quality and reasonable file size:

• MPEG4 (mp3 or mp4 audio) at 2 mbps
• 640x480 resolution
• 4:3 frame

The file you upload will be automatically converted into an Adobe Flash video file to ensure reliable streaming from our servers. It will also be converted into formats suitable for download to iPod Video, Sony PSP and mobile phone.

Advanced Upload is for content creators who wish to optimize and upload additional files specifically for iPod Video and Sony PSP. In this case no conversion or compression is performed by North East Movies, allowing you to control the quality settings of the files made available for download to these two devices. Please note that automated conversion will still be used to produce the Flash video file for the website and mobile video file made available for download.

You can upload any original film to North East Movies as long as it adheres to our Terms and Conditions.

When you have uploaded your film it will be reviewed by a member of the North East Movies team. We aim to review your film within 72 hours, usually it is much quicker than this but occasionally during periods of high activity it may take slightly longer. If approved, your film will be published to the website. If there is any problem with your film, you will be contacted via email.

If your film contains adult themes or language it may be necessary for us to place a click through screen before your film, making users aware of the content and requesting them to confirm they are 18 or over prior to allowing access to view or download.
