Sitefinity 8.2 - unable to upload 35MB MP4 to a video library

Wondering if someone could help me figure out why I am unable to upload a large video file.
Using Sitefinity 8.2

Issue: unable to upload an .MP4 video file into a video library.
The video file size is 34,574 KB

To allow large request, our web.config has these settings:

    <system.web>
      <httpRuntime maxRequestLength="6048000" executionTimeout="7200" maxUrlLength="102400" maxQueryStringLength="102400" 

requestValidationType="Telerik.Sitefinity.Security.Claims.CustomRequestValidator, Telerik.Sitefinity" />
    </system.web>

Attempted the following in the Sitefinity backend Administration -> Settings:
1. Libraries menu
- "The size of a chunk in bytes when upload media data", value: 100971520

2. System menu -> FilesModule
- MaxFileSize: set to 204800000

Any other settings I should be increasing?

Thank you for your time.

I finally figured this one out.  It has nothing to do with Sitefinity.  There was a 30MB request limit enforced by Microsoft's UrlScan on the web server. 

To increase the 30MB limit to allow 100MB for example, go to folder:
C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\urlscan

Edit file UrlScan.ini with notepad.
...then change:
MaxAllowedContentLength=30000000
..to:
MaxAllowedContentLength=100000000
