BarryH Posted January 4, 2008 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.
jedimaster1227 Posted January 4, 2008 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.
BarryH Posted January 5, 2008 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 Posted January 5, 2008 yeah I got my mini-DV tape ready. It's not a confusing as the other ways.
jedimaster1227 Posted January 5, 2008 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.
jarmor Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 Whoever uses this song from this group gets my vote!
WillMontu Posted January 6, 2008 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.
J man Posted January 11, 2008 Posted January 11, 2008 Well I finally got my video to upload to the FTP! Yay! I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's videos.
Edward Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 Hey. Robb didn't answere if it was OK with me using 3ivX for my HQ AVI submission.
Cllins Posted January 17, 2008 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
robbalvey Posted January 17, 2008 Author Posted January 17, 2008 ^ That's a HELL of a project! Keep us updated. For those of you who want to enter, keep in mind that the entries need to be postmarked in just 2 weeks! More details can be found here: http://www.themeparkreview.com/videocontest/ --Robb
mcjaco Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 You should be receiving a yummy package today.
Tanks4me05 Posted January 23, 2008 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?

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.
Tanks4me05 Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 Ahhhh, crap. I thought Robb said that the videos were to be received on February 1st...
JimmyBo Posted January 26, 2008 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!" Bo
WillMontu Posted January 27, 2008 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.
WillMontu Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 ^ I still have all my raw footage saved on an external drive, so I can still edit and such on my laptop, I just may have to start over I have a ton of unused footage, including some from Alton Towers
BarryH Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 ^More people took a photo of my ass that day than any other time. Should I feel honored?
robbalvey Posted January 30, 2008 Author Posted January 30, 2008 Just to let you all know we have extended the deadline a little bit. Videos need to be uploaded or postmarked by Monday, February 4th, 2008. For more information on how to submit a video, check out the contest information page: http://www.themeparkreview.com/videocontest/ --Robb
WillMontu Posted January 30, 2008 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
Meteornotes Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 My entry is finally finished and will be mailed off tomorrow. I apologize in advance... dt
