kenshinmac Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 I just finished mine about an hour ago, but it's going to take a while to upload using dial up. I did it to "Bounce" by System of A Down, and its 2:00 min long. EDIT: Okay, I clicked on the ftp website and it says it does not exsist. So, should I e-mail it to you? Or am I just missing something on how to upload this? Colin C Definitely check all the previous posts about difficulty with sending the videos to the ftp site. It is very likely you have the same problem as others did. The simplest problem that seems to keep coming up is make sure that it is "ftp://" not "http://".
robbalvey Posted November 28, 2005 Author Posted November 28, 2005 Yes, please read the rest of the thread. It most certainly DOES work as I have just tested it. You need to make sure you are using the correct syntax in the browser. Also, there have been links posted to free FTP utilities that can help you. --Robb "It's all in this thread!" Alvey
J man Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 Is it okay if I upload my video in another file type? I can't get it to render and export all the way if it's a mpeg. It stops in the middle of rendering and the program shuts down when I try to make an mpeg. edit Nevermind I finally got it to export as an mpeg. All is right with the world.
Chrissie Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 Ok... I just added it in... But I dnt know if Ive done it right :?
kenshinmac Posted November 29, 2005 Posted November 29, 2005 Hmm... Well after some looking I don't really see a way that I can export standard MPEGs from iMovie... Is putting up an MPEG4 going to put me at a significant disadvantage? I'm kinda bummed because I haven't been able to avoid serious blocking in the re-compressing. Well my video is gonna put me at enough of a disadvantage but it was a lot of fun to play with some of the software because I never really had an excuse to play with it before. This is a great contest idea Robb. Definitely keep it going. Anyone with iMovie have any suggestions?
kenshinmac Posted November 29, 2005 Posted November 29, 2005 MP4 should be ok. --Robb Thanks for the quick response Robb. I'll upload my crappy video then... It was a lot of fun to mess around with but there are tons of things I should have done better. Ah well. First time playing with software and the first time trying to edit a video are bound to add up to some downsides.
kenshinmac Posted November 29, 2005 Posted November 29, 2005 Just BTW Robb how many entries have there been so far?
WillMontu Posted November 29, 2005 Posted November 29, 2005 A quick and dirty way to upload (using Windows XP, sorry Mac/98/ME users) is by using the interface built directly into Windows. Try typing "ftp://videocontest@themeparkreview.net" into any Explorer window. Due to limitations in Windows, the @ symbol can't be directly entered as a username, but if the above address is used, a dialog box should show up prompting for the correct username/pw If all goes as planned, you can simply drag and drop the file to upload it. Keep in mind that Robb will pull them off as they come off (to prevent others from downloading other people's submissions) After entering the correct username and password, the following should show up. Enter ftp://videocontest@themeparkreview.net into an Explorer window and the following should show up
Jew Posted November 29, 2005 Posted November 29, 2005 Sorry guys, I sent my video in the other day. Contest over. I win.

robbalvey Posted December 5, 2005 Author Posted December 5, 2005 Hey everyone! Remember that this Friday is the deadline! I will post later this week who we have gotten submissions from so that way we know we have them all. --Robb
retardxdisco Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 I am having lots of trouble uploading it to that ftp thing. Robb, what time are you usually online?
robbalvey Posted December 5, 2005 Author Posted December 5, 2005 What trouble are you having? Also, I'm online now! --Robb
Loopy Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 Robb, I am compressing my video out at about 70 megs. Are you going to recompress or should I try to get the size down.
robbalvey Posted December 5, 2005 Author Posted December 5, 2005 ^ It would probably be better to try and keep the size smaller. Most of the entries are around 20ish megs. --Robb
