If a user uploads a binary item to a multimedia schema in Tridion is there a limit on the size of the file that may be selected?

As an implementation choice, some event system code can limit upload size and even give authors feedback. See an "semantic" multimedia example from @DominicCronin. I'm also a fan of basic Custom URLs and Custom Pages to guide authors on what's reasonable for a given content type, since it depends on the setup as Nuno explains.– Alvin ReyesCommented Nov 25, 2013 at 22:29

There are some limits...
- WebDav limits uploads (by default) to 4 MB (see the documentation for details on how to change this).
- IIS may block by default uploads of files over 30MB (not sure if this still applies, can't find references in the documentation).
- HTTPUpload will (again, by default) limit upload sizes to 10MB for publishing packages.
All these values can be modified, Tridion itself doesn't have a "hard" limit to file sizes, but you should know that large files have an impact on the underlying infrastructure (network, deployers, databases).

IIS limits are still relevant. It has been listed in the "Known issues" section for the CME for several releases (sdllivecontent.sdl.com/LiveContent/content/en-US/…) Commented Nov 29, 2013 at 8:47
