Long time consumer of videos, first time to the forums.
I think that having the videos on Google Video is a GREAT idea.
Google Video pros:
- exposure
- near instant playing. no downloading. click and watch.
- its google, it should be around for a long time. good place for archive, no seeds needed!
- can be embedded in other websites
- can download an AVI from the .GVP file if you know what your doing
Google Video cons:
-reports of people in other countries unable to access
-not the best quality
We definitely shouldnt lose the torrents for high quality movies, but I seriously think they should all be uploaded. Put a "watch this movie now at Google Video" link in the movies info. Taken to the extreme you could even replace the screenshots with embedded movies (although I think thats not a good idea the way there are so many screenshots on a page potentially).
Anyway, I just made a
post with a bunch of videos at
my site, thats what made me end up here. I found a bunch of videos on Google Video you dont have noted here:
NES Super Mario Bros 2
N64 Mario 64
NES Tetris
NES Metroid
SNES Super Punchout
SNES Zelda: A Link to the Past
GBA Sonic Advace 2
Lastly, I was wondering if it would be a problem if I uploaded some of the other videos from this site to Google Video? I'd give proper descriptions and credits and everything, I would just upload them. Would that be a problem.
What do you guys think about all this?
(oh and thanks for the awesome site, videos and community!)
