admin/settings/flashvideo shows a default of upload_max_filesize=2M
however, if an user exceeds this limit there's no error message and the upload just hangs.
The drupal's uploading bar never ends and also users do not know that windows round the real size so the limit can be as lower as 1.85M

There should be both an error message on a failed upload and a text on the video upload form stating what the size limit is.

Title: No error when file is beyond size limit » Add text or help msg about size limit

Apparently this is a long time issue, as found on this thread: http://drupal.org/node/30520

For this module's issue then the text or help message could be still shown.

Since this appears to be an issue with Drupal core, as you mentioned, please feel free to post follow-ups in that issue queue. Closing the issue for FlashVideo module.
