Gotta go with Burpin too.  'course I am partial to the car

I don't know how to post it, but I've still got the "Scotty Doesn't Know" video someone put together for the old site. The entire thing is burnouts.
My favorite is the insane second gen pulling a couple thousand RPMs, but only going about one mile per hour for what seems like 30 seconds in front of an ultra expensive looking home.

Headrope, can you email me the compilation?

Here's the vid of the "68:

Hmmmm, is there anyway to post the vid's directly?

[Headrope]

The link above this post is for the scene I was talking about. Awesome!
The compilation video file is too large for me to send via my e-mail account; at least it thinks so.

Thats one of my favorites.  I think Burpin's Vid is pretty sick too.  I need to find someone with a Digital video camera and get my "caught on tape" !

[69_500]

Okay well I am mailing you the attachment with the video file it is still in a quicktime video format however. It is not down to 2.3 megs I think.

I have another one that is a commercial slot that we are going to be putting on our DVD if you guys would like to see that.

69_500, here's the vid you emailed me:

Troy, is there anyway to make the vid play in the post?  

And as a reminder, if you've got a vid, but don't have it hosted, email me and I can host it.

Burpin's burnout has to be on of the best I've seen!

[Mefirst]

The burnout the black 68 does should be looked upon as a schoolbook example of how to do a real burnout

Hmmmm, is there anyway to post the vid's directly?

No. There's a reason it's hard to find places to host video files - they suck up a TON of bandwidth. With the amount of pictures already on the site (and climbing) the hosting plan we have now wouldn't handle it. That will change soon but I probably still won't allow video files.

Troy, is there anyway to make the vid play in the post? 

Yes and no. I disabled the features for a couple of reasons:
1. It only works part of the time and only on certain video formats.
2. Every time someone views the thread it loads the video. This eats up the bandwidth from wherever the file was hosted since it gets downloaded by every single person viewing the thread whether they wanted to see it or not every time they open the thread. People with slow connections would get wiped off the map if their browser was forced to load big/multiple video clips in a thread. Making them click a link or save the file is actually being courteous. Since a person can technically only watch one at a time they'd have to reload every other video that they missed which compounds the bandwidth problem.

If I were to allow video hosting at any point in the future I would definitely not allow automatic playing within a post. I would consider it if it were a paid service AND I could guarantee that the files weren't being linked from other sites. Bandwidth on the new server will be a few dollars per GB or something like that. Consider a 1 MB video file can be downloaded 1,000 times for that. This thread has been viewed 302 times and there are 9 videos if I counted right. If every viewer only downloaded each video once that's 2,718 views right there in just one thread. However, the one MOV file is 2.39 MB so that's 721 MB by itself. It's possible that, as the site grows and there's money coming in, that there could be a dedicated media server for video and pictures. That will easily double the monthly bills so it's not going to happen right away.

As for file formats, WMV and Real Media usually have the smallest file sizes but the quality is also low. Both can be streamed. Quicktime files cannot be viewed by everyone and neither can Real. The most universal format is probably mpg and the file size can be cut down pretty well.

Thanks for the explanation, Troy!

[Troy]

You're welcome. There is actually a reason behind most things that I do (key word: most).

Hey Formula thanks for posting that. However I don't know if it worked for anyone else, but when I clicked on the link, there was audio, but no video.

I'll try it again later.

69_500, yeah, it was kinda hit-or-miss for me too.

I refreshed the new window and got the vid. to appear though.

[Charger_Fan]

[69_500]
