Why does app crash when uploading video with Phonegap?

I'm using this example Upload Video Phonegap to upload videos into a server which is a php script. I use exactly this code :

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Capture Video</title>

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="cordova.js"> </script>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="json2.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">

// Called when capture operation is finished
//
function captureSuccess(mediaFiles) {
    var i, len;
    for (i = 0, len = mediaFiles.length; i < len; i += 1) {
        uploadFile(mediaFiles[i]);
    }
}

// Called if something bad happens.
//
function captureError(error) {
    var msg = 'An error occurred during capture: ' + error.code;
    navigator.notification.alert(msg, null, 'Uh oh!');
}

// A button will call this function
//
function captureVideo() {
    // Launch device video recording application,
    // allowing user to capture up to 2 video clips
    navigator.device.capture.captureVideo(captureSuccess, captureError, {limit: 2});
}

// Upload files to server
function uploadFile(mediaFile) {
    var ft = new FileTransfer(),
        path = mediaFile.fullPath,
        name = mediaFile.name;

    ft.upload(path,
        "http://my.domain.com/upload.php",
        function(result) {
            console.log('Upload success: ' + result.responseCode);
            console.log(result.bytesSent + ' bytes sent');
        },
        function(error) {
            console.log('Error uploading file ' + path + ': ' + error.code);
        },
        { fileName: name });
}

</script>
</head>
<body>
    <button onclick="captureVideo();">Capture Video</button> <br>
</body>
</html>

Once I stop the video and I click to "Save", the app freezes and crashes just after. What can be wrong ? I have tested it on several devices because maybe some devices can't support it but still. Even if I stop the video 1 second after or 10 seconds after, the app crashes. What is weird is that the video is in the Gallery after the app crashes.

The PHP script works well because I can send it photos and it works well so I don't think the problem comes from it.

Any advice please ?

Ok I just made the changes in this answer : Phonegap video capture crashes and the app doesn't crash anymore and I can see with wireshark that something is sent to the server even if the vid isn't well received but that's an other issue.

EDIT :

Better use this function : 

function uploadFile(mediaFile) {
    var ft = new FileTransfer(),
        path = mediaFile.fullPath,
        name = mediaFile.name;
    var options = new FileUploadOptions();
    options.mimeType = "video/mpeg";
    options.fileName = name;
    options.chunkedMode = true;

    ft.upload(path,
        "http://192.154.23.51/upload.php",
        function(result) {
            console.log('Upload success: ' + result.responseCode);
            console.log(result.bytesSent + ' bytes sent');
        },
        function(error) {
            console.log('Error uploading file ' + path + ': ' + error.code);
        },
        options);
}

I can now receive succesfully the video.
