BarryH Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Has anyone been successful in transferring their videos to the ftp site? I woudl try, but my .avi files approach 1 GB in size! My Internet connection usually crashes if I try to upload large files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimaster1227 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 ^A few of us have, but I recommend using SmartFTP as my internet crashed during my first transfer as well. It will take several hours to upload the .avi but it does work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryH Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 ^I'd hate to see Robb downloading all these avi files from the ftp site. It'll probably take him a week! I sent the mini-DV tape through the mail. I say that's the best way to go. They can capture the videos in real time and do their crazy delicious things to it so they can post it.

24 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 yeah I got my mini-DV tape ready. It's not a confusing as the other ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimaster1227 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 ^^I'm preparing a miniDV tape as well (once I get my second entry finished. Once that is done, I will mail it in. But, my DV deck has been tempermental lately, and exporting to DV seems to leave strange marks on my videos (random delays, audio jumps and more). So, I uploaded the first entry as insurance in case my deck dies on me before I can send in the tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillMontu Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I submitted several really bad videos in 2006. Hopefully 2008 will be better for me, as this time I have a lot more footage to work with and my skills have improved somewhat. I've been looking over a lot of my old footage and noticed how bad it was back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cllins Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Rob I am afraid I have to drop out of this years contest , this is due to me spending most of my spare time trying to refurbish my house so I can move in to it. Serve me right for buying one that was built in 1849. Good luck to this year entry’s Nick Collins Current state of my new/old house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanks4me05 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I hope my entries arrive, I will send it in the mail tonight or tomorrow. Robb, if you receive my entries on somewhere between February 2nd or 3rd, will it still be allowed? (I know the deadline is February 1st, but are g you allowing some lee-way to accommodate Snail Mail?) EDIT: TPR has an FTP available for "normal member" access? How come I didn't think of that? *D'oh!* Anyway, what is the specific URL for the FTP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How come I didn't think of that? *D'oh!* Anyway, what is the specific URL for the FTP? One, postmarked means it was sent out on or before February 2nd, not when Robb receives it. Two, all the info on uploading through FTP is on the Video Contest Announcement. Three, reading is fun duh mental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanks4me05 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Ahhhh, crap. I thought Robb said that the videos were to be received on February 1st... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyBo Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I finally have internet in my new house after being here for more than a month and I'm slowing catching up with the TPR times. I'll be submitting some vids and good luck to everyone that enters. Hopefully this will be the best contest thus far and maybe the entries can be put on a special "Disc 3" in some Coaster Expedition Volume. Jimmy "Holy sh*t I have internet!"

WillMontu Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Unfortunately my PC chose now as a time to die, so I don't know if I'll get my videos in on time. I had two really good videos in the making, but it looks like the motherboard bit the dust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillMontu Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 ^ Thank you! My PC is still down and I hope to get a new motherboard and a USB adapter for the hard drive in within the next day or so, in which case I can get my files back on time. Turns out that WMM runs way too choppy on my laptop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
