I noticed you guys using PutFile - How long can you keep the videos up on that site. I went through their FAQ and I couldn't find anything about it. (Maybe I wasn't looking hard enough.)

It takes some looking to find but it's listed in the FAQ of the site. Here is what they have listedo n there site:

How long will my files stay online for?
Granted that you do not violate our TOS, your media will stay online for the duration of its activity plus six months. This means that as long as your video or image receives one view every six months it will stay online forever.

As to why we are using putfile now will be explained more once 4.0 goes live but I discovered this place a week or so ago and we in the council so far think it's definitely a great tool to use.

the only bad thing about putfile is the file must be under 10MB, but it basically COMPLETELY hosts your video for FREE by doing so.

It's basically exactly what we were in LVI 1.0, only now there's unlimited bandwidth! WOOT!

So USE IT

I never want to hear the word "yousendit" ever used again! Unless, of course, you're hosting a file bigger than 30MB... (1-30MB videos can be hosted on Rapidshare: http://rapidshare.de/, which is ALMOST as good as Putfile. [last download +30 days])

Also, make sure you don't send in videos with rapidshare unless absolutely necessary, because it only lets people download once every hour

(thus, judging gets interrupted

)

LMAO Aislynn

YOU aren't the one who's the problem

posting a link once every twelve hours for you to download with isn't the problem, it's the possibility of having to deal with renewing every video submitted to the site every week because some people are foolish enough to post their videos with links that only last for seven days then need renewal, when they could just be using one of TWO incredibly more useful links to harness their video power!

I can't seem to get PutFile to work at all...

It's the same thing with Yahoo's and ABC's online video players. Streaming media is pure murder for my computer. I either get the Blue Screen of Death or it just freezes up completely and I have to reboot.

And here I was, hoping I'd finally get to see all those vids I missed during the BT era... *sniff* Just my luck...

Oy! Poor Hobbes... one more begging for YSI links...

Okay, lets make this work

what is your internet connection Starchaser? Is it something fast...?

And how much space do you have on your hard drive?

And do you have any problems with downloading 1GB of video files at a time...?

If your answers to those questions are Broadband, Lots, and no, then start making a list of every video you want to see, and I'll get them for you in one care package

OR I can upload the entire collection, but that might take a little while, since it's about... oh... 1.4 GB

Actually... that's not that much! Want it?

Okay, there was a question about being able to capture the streaming video from the site onto your own computer. I asked the pros at the help forum at Putfile, and here's what they said:
http://forums.putfile.com/viewtopic.php?t=1694
which led me to here

http://forums.putfile.com/viewtopic.php?t=1689
which said we can basically only use the WM Recorder to get our videos. SO that leads me to here:
http://www.wmrecorder.com/?src=Putfile3
where you can try out the free trail. Or buy the product.
OR, if you're feeling like stepping outside the law, you can go here:
http://w2.isohunt.com/torrents.php?ihq=wm+recorder&ext=&op=and&nr
which has a copy of the full version up for download. (the 10.1 version. no, it's not REALLY Infected

)
OR, if you don't want to use torrents, PM me, and I'll see what I can do

Thanks for the Master File links, Hobbes!

You put them on YSI...??

I just hope I can get enough space cleared up on my HD before those links expire... LOL

About downloading streaming media...
A few of us over at Lost Media were having the same problem with the ABC video player and we got some helpful info here:

Haven't tried this myself yet, though... But if I can't get it to work you can expect a PM from me.

Again... I wouldn't try it...

the Putfile guys don't "recommend" it, so I'm just sticking to the one thing they do recommend

I got it working great, and I wrote a walkthrough so anyone can get it working too. PM me and I'll send it over yousendit or something
