http://www.lostvideo.net/hosting_guide.php

Announcing the new official hosting guide. Notice how YSI is no longer a valued friend of ours? Ah well, plenty of other sites out there nowadays willing to host your videos for their profit!

And a sidenote: you all can still host on Megaupload, Rapidshare, and YSI after the vids have been sent in for judging. It';s just a pain in the ass to vote with those hinderances is all.

Anyway, enjoy.

Wow you're such a brilliant writer Hobbes. My favourite character is Putfile.

Yeh, I think it's a good idea to finally get rid of YSI. Looking forward to trying out some of these new programs too.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but has anyone found a way to DL from YouTube? I like to DL all the contest entries and for the Feb contest there are 3 hosted by YouTube.

I think youtube is flash so it's hard to download from. One thing I might bring up with the Council is for contest entries maybe we could ask for at least one download link for the vid aswell as streaming.

*lightbulb*

Didn't Mandi say she would host some vids maybe she could host the contest entries.

That is actually a good idea. There are some great videos that I would like to download...

And yes PB, Meandi said that she would host some videos so maybe she can host the contest entries...

Yeah I know what you mean I tried every way I could to download it and no luck. But since we're a forum-based society, it's nto that hard to post a second link for the video once it's posted and has its own topic.
Adding a field for an additional download link is a lot of extra trouble apparently, or else we would have ut it in ) sorry guys. I did bring it up with E though, it's just unfeasable unfortunately.

The bright side is this is just for the contest entries, and once they have their own topics people can post an additional link easilly

Which reminds me.... would anyone else really like contest videos to be posted on the site before the final results so people can comment on them? At first, we just wanted vids to be a surprise and whatever, but since everyopne posts their entries in the contest info page anyway it seems kinda pointless to me.

As for Mandi, if she wants to host vids then that sounds good to me! But you'll have to ask her for it personally, because there's no way she can host all the contest vids every month, it would totally eat her bandwidth up

She has given it the all clear. I kinda have access to her webspace so I told her I'll upload them. We will have to ask submissions to have one download link (putfile is acceptable as it is possible to download from.) So if you could maybe organise that Warren that would be great.

yep but the fact that you asked that is proof that it doesn';t really get noticed, and thus the entries don't get many comments hmmm...

Because I won't be able to upload it to Mandi's webspace duh! This way we can accept Rapidshare/Megaupload etc.. for the contest entries as long as the link works.
