Finally and at long last.....

I have edited the damn video.......

It's 500mb ( ) - KK is trying to work out if we can host it.  Does anyone have any webspace/bandwidth hanging around to spread the load?

Piglet - I might be able to help...

I've just been playing around with Google Groups as a way of managing some files for a club. As long as everything gets to work ok then it shouldnt be a problem. I also have a spare couple of servers but would rather not open them up too far (not sure what BT would think either!).

The other alternative is that I turn it into a torrent so that we all share the burden....

Let me know and I will create you an FTP site to upload it to.

Cheers Toby, we're trying to upload to someone else's at the mo.  I'll let you know if we need more help....

I wondered about You Tube - never used it though - presumably they have a size limit?

100 MB

[nopanic - neil]

Let us know if you still need someone to host it,

I might know someone who can host it, but I would have to make a call first.

PM if I can help.

Bitorrent would do the trick.  If you don't know how to do it i'll set up a torrent for you.  Then you just need a few (Well the more the Merrier).

OK, it's on Rick Cutler's server at the momemt - I'm just about to post the link so we'll see how quickly CA can trash his server!

Bit torrent (whatever that may be!) sounds good - I'm guessing even if Rick's server stands up to today, it'll be better to have the file in a couple of places to avoid too much pressure on one person's webspace/bandwidth etc?

Tom could you have a go at setting it up with the nice people who've offerered to help?  Hopefully DfH and/or Pieter have some space - there's quite a lot of their party on the vid so I'd imagine they'll want to link to it. 

Cheers all....

500 MB means that after 10 downloads I would have gone through half my bandwidth for a month on DfH.

Torrent's are nice things to do, but only if everybody has a computer that stays on 24/7 (I know I have).

Downloading it from Rick's site, it's 59 MB Piglet, not 500.

Ahh OK when I was creating it it said 500mb and I'm pretty sure that wasn't the video input.   Perhaps it's compressed somehow?  I dunno I'm a girl and of an age where technology is starting to pass me by as a loud whooshing noise over my head 

So at 59mb it should trash Rick's server/bandwidth too much then?

[LangTall]

59 < 500 My guess is that the raw material is 500 MB, the wmv (which is indeed a compressed format) is 59.

It won't trash Rick's server all too much I guess, if so I can provide some backup if needed.

Here it is....
