Where To Post?
« on: March 30, 2002, 09:34:57 AM »
I have made a really short movie but i only managed to get it down to 1.98MB as a zip file 2.2MB unzipped.I tried to get myself some webspace (12mb) but i cant upload squat on it.Its obviously a crap fee site to try to get people paying for more space.I have my own webspace but now the software i use to upload my web pages has expired and i cant be bothered with it!!stupid 30 day trials! :D

well here i am! made quite a few pretty good movies that are useless as no one else can see them!.kind of kills the whole point of making them.

So does anyone know a simpleway to post an avi movie?
(I have films from 1.9mb to 60MB or so.)

please help now if not yesterday!!!!! :D.

BAH i dont know how to do it!!! i just compressed a film to a poultry 640kb and i STILL cant put it anywhere!

hazed, I looked for a while for a free site and found none that were statisfactory. If you want I'll post your movie to my site. You can email the file to me (less than 5MB) or when I set up an FTP server for larger files.

Perhaps when HTC get their T3 they'll consider giving everyone 10-20MB of space on their server for posting movies etc....

How about it Hitech, practical?

What are you suggesting BenDover? What does changing your registry have to do with free web space?

thanks for the offer AKiron. ive compressed and compressed a tiny clip down to 133,600kb!! it has sound which has become severely distorted and the film looks HORRIBLE!! :) but it was really just a joke for all the allied guys to laugh at! :)

its not really worth taking up yourspace with AKiron,but when i make a film i think worthy i'll contact you if thats ok? thanks again.

how did you get the space ? as far as i know i have 10-50mb(so long ago i started my account im not sure the amount!) on my ISP but I have no idea how to use it.I tried looking at it but i cant see how its done.I tried to set up a free web site on one of the online servers but that only seems to allow Jpg's to be uploaded,  although the way its done is absolutely simple! best thing for me thats for sure :D just use their browse button find your pic and viola! its up on the site.Great idea, much the same as http://www.webshots.com.

as for hightech allowing a little more for attachments, that would REALY help. even doubling the size to 200,000 would help tremendously.the quality is still poor for films compressed to this size but they are veiwable and still fun.
it would be great if we posted the heavily compressed clips as an advert for the larger movie and people could email the full version to each other to veiw.I think i can accept well over 2MB on my email so its possible.

bendover regedit? I know what it is but what has this got to do with this thread? are you mad mate? :D

only thing i can think you are suggesting is removing AHFilm or something?
well if you are i have no intention of doing that!.Its a great tool for us to make movies, its just 'some' of us cant post them.Not HTC's fault.

hazed, just email it/them to me anytime, no problem have plenty of space and bandwidth.

I too have free space from my isp but the server is slow and unreliable so I pay for space. Hey, I can write it off as a business expense. :D

AKiron i saw on your website some of your flash mission breifings!. really good stuff! I saw there was a 'how to make mission breifings' file but it wont open for me.

Id love to make similar intros for my movies rather than a briefing but could flash be used for what id like to do?

some great work for your squad there.Anyway if you could let me know where to go to get this sort of programme to make intro's like those I'd be very gratefull.


thnx

hazed, the briefings tutorial was in MS Word format. I converted it to html (don't know why I didn't do that originally). Here's the link: Flash Briefings

There is a new version of Flash out/due out that will play videos but Flash 4&5 have very limited capability in that regard.

sorry i couldn't explain, i was in a rush

that software you use to upload files
[list=1]
  • un-install it
  • look for it's settings in the registry
  • delete them
  • download it again, unless you have the install file already
  • install
  • now you should have another 30 days
  • repeat in 30 days:)
  • [/list=1]

    well it works with photoshop
