Can I post a movie in the Moodle program?

No, not usually.
There is a maximum size for each file that is posted in Moodle. (Currently the limit is 8M.) Almost all movies and audio clips are larger than this file size. However, a link to the movie or audio clip can be displayed in Moodle. This allows easy access for your students to the resource. If the movie is on a site like YouTube or Hulu, just copy the web address and use the information provided in the previous wiki to create a link to the movie site. If the movie or audio clip is one that you created or someone created for you, you need to put that movie on some server, make sure that it will play in a browser from that server, and then obtain the URL (web address) and then add it to your course site as a link.
