I haven't uploaded a lot compared to some of the posters in this thread, but I spent a lot of time uploading 3 vids today between capturing images, thumbnails, noting file sizes, durations, resolutions, file types, uploading images to 1 host and the vids to another and then copying all that into this thread. Is it appreciated - I don't know. Who really cares if the vid is .wmv or .avi, or if it is 512x416 or 496x400. In downloading, I only want to know what the filesize is. There are a lot of downloads of my files, but not a lot of thank you replies.
Tube sites have revolutionized video posting. The vid is uploaded to their server with any pertinent data added in the title. One only has to supply some tags to aid in searching. A rudimentary thumbnail is provided via a mouseover. Browser addons like Firefox's "Downloadhelper" provide the capability to downlaod the vids. A lot more can be accomplished with this kind of streamlined uploading.
I'm going to take a respite from posting here for the near future. I hope the admins will consider lessening some of the posting requirements for vids and make this forum a more competitive alternative to the tube sites.
Finally, I'd like to thank the regular posters in this thread for your contributions. I know what is involved and appreciate your efforts.
