2008 PGL NCAA Hightlights

Started a new thread for this because the results from games are starting to flow in and I didn't want to clog up the reporting thread.

I took a closer look at that one site I found that had the highlight videos embedded:

[easportsworld]http://www.ncaastrategies.com/trickyd/200707131.flv[/easportsworld]

Looks like they're just having users upload the FLV files to their own forum server and then they're playing them w/ a generic flash player (plaino or something).

Anyway - probably not a good option for PGL - bandwith killer.

I played around w/ Brightcove a lil yesterday - you're right Quo - very clunky!!

I tried to setup a 'community' thing there. I was able to get to the point where I could have users upload videos - but it didn't do any auto processesing on them (like thumbnails etc). So that was kind of lame... but it did allow for it.

Still could potentially work for embedding here though. FLVs would be hosted on Brightcove, so then all we'd need is a Brightcove embed code for Vbulletin (should be easy enough).

What about Twango - is that an option?

Bumi -

Thanks for your research. We've upgraded the site (Thanks to Dmiller, who installed a mod, and to Crippler, who caught a potentially nasty little conflict) and now we should able to post .flv files. There's basically an easy way and a hard way to view them here. The hard way is Brightcove. With Brightcove they have an excellent upload tool, but getting the video viewable is tricky, and I don't know that I'm up for learning how to do it. There's a lot of legwork.

The easy way is for everyone to get a myspace account (free) and upload your .flv video to your video page. You can then embed the video here simply by copying the link from your address bar (NOT THE ONE IN THE VIDEO CODE box or VIDEO URL box on the page) and pasting it into your post. It will start with http://vids. myspace. com (w/o spaces).

Copy it into your post... PGL's magical behind the scenes guru does the rest of the work, interprets it as a video and shows up like this:



yes. It's the same video. I haven't uploaded a new one.

You can upload FLV to Share on OVI (Twango) if they are recorded in the new FLV codec. If they are the old codec then they won't work sorry.

Holy sheee-ite, Dmiller! EASportsworld must've upgraded to the new .flv codec... the old, original video I uploaded from 2007 wasn't working, but these new videos work beautifully. Thanks for the tip man... I hadn't thought of the possibility of them upgrading.

Ok, this totally changes everything! As you can see, the twango.com vids are much crisper, in addition to being larger. I'll be checking into how to create a single account we can send all the highlights to, and I'll post instructions later. For now, individually anyone who nows how to use their twango account can post post vids by using the twango (TV) icon in the advanced reply screen. Just copy in the file name from twango (in the case of the first video above, it's Quo.10302, highlight it and click the (tv) button.

Beautiful! And sooooo much easier than all others... you can batch upload and everything. I'll post more exact instructions later. Great stuff!

Yo Quo! I think I'm close...but this is all I get. Where are these further instructions I've heard so much about?

We're working them up still. Looks like you've got an error in the address. That happened to me when I left a space between the [twangov ] and the addy. Make sure there are no spaces. Very close, though!

EDIT: Actually you left no spaces... what you did was you had the file name rather than the twango ID of the video. In this case, it's "LordSam.10265". Make sure that that's all that goes between the twangov tags. I have that in the tutorial, so yeah... it would've helped! We'll get it up soon!

This was one of the things we worked on was to make our video's look the best in the industry. It takes a lot of tweaking. I'm glad that they work for you.
