DVD-->Youtube
Posted: Wed Feb 25, 2009 7:47 am
I have many DVDs that have Mahjong material on them. I\'d like to share them with you folks, but don\'t have the technical knowledge. If you do, PM/e-mail me.
Copyright issues aside for now
Unless the videos are quite small you may hit the 10 minute limit on youtube. If this is an issue then consider putting them on google video that does not have those issues. Many videos you find in multiple pieces on youtube are found in a single video on google.
Copyright Issues ....
If these are commercial videos then Jenn etc will probably be concerned posting illegal copies (most G7 countries have recipricol copyright protection agreements)
If these are your own or your clubs for example where you can wave any copyright issues for this site then I agree that these would be a good benefit for the board.
I can give you advice on the ripping, changing the format, bitrate etc using a excellent player/video utility tool VLC (Windows, Mac and Linux). I have never hosted a file on youtube/google but could easily find out the technical details.
