Videos

509 members, you can now upload videos to your photo gallery. Simply log in and upload the video to your gallery just like you would upload a picture.

The best format is flash video (flv) so you get the nice embedded player ala YouTube. Riva FLV Encoder is free software that can convert your video clips into Flash format. Video parameters that seem to work OK are a size of 448x336 and a target bitrate of 500 kb/s. If you have trouble sorting all that out, email me, and we can arrange for me to convert the video for you.

Finally, a word about content. We don't have space to be simply hosting copies of video available elsewhere on the net. Please post only original videos not available elsewhere. We also don't need take-down notices, so be sure you either own the video rights or otherwise have permission to post.

Thanks,
Matt
