Vidiac

[Bass Junky]

Hey ppls.

Some of you probably alreay know about it, but I just found out.

There's a movie sharing site called Vidiac.

Started by the guys who run Streetfire.net.

Allows you to create your own Video Sharing Community on the net.

Might be a good idea to set up our own to host the videos we take from DECA, drags, etc etc.

And it can be almost 100% around Skylines/Stags/Nissans and the stuff we like.

Whatta ya think?

BASS OUT

[Bass Junky]

So anyway.

I made out site up.

http://skylinesaustralia.vidiac.com

Start uploading Videos people.

It looks pretty bland right now, but that's cos I've done nothing with it but create the community.

I'll ask somebody to make it look like ours soon.

Anyone wanna volunteer?

Prank, who is good for this sort of stuff?

BASS OUTps. I uploaded one of my favorite drifts!

Nice Video

I see you took it nice and easy around the motokharna course.......

[Bass Junky]

Yep.

I'm Mr Safety

[predator]

why not just video.google.com ?

and provide a webpage that links exclusively to the SAU videos?

This vidiac thing looks a bit cumbersome.

[Bass Junky]

Cos you can rate and comment on and stuff like that on Vidiac.

I wasn't aware that you could do anything like that on Google.

Can you?

[Bass Junky]

PS.

Check out http://videos.streetfire.net/

that's what we could build

[Big Rizza]

Sounds good to me

Can you?

true.. you'd have to build a website manually, with a backend which people could comment on. Not difficult. Just takes time.

Vidiac has it built in by the looks of things. Just I saw the default one you'd setup and it looked a bit basic. Streetfire.net is more like it. Depends how much work is required to turn the default theme into something like streetfire

The other alternative is you could create a new forum on here.. every body posts the links to their googlevideo hosted videos in there, and can comment on there. Then it's integrated directly into SAU and nobody has to setup anything other than a new forum to link to them

Few options.. good idea though.

[Bass Junky]

I thought about those, but because Vidiac is set up to do it, I figure.... use the right tools for the job.

I also considered the load that 25 people downloading videos all at once would put on our server, and I figured that it's best that load is on somebody elses considering all the content we alreay have.

Do me a favour.

Upload some videos to it.

the interface needs to change obviously, but I need to see how it goes with a few videos there. It's having some maintence done at the moment which is why I havent been able to get in there and make it look all purdy.

[predator]

I don't have videos.. other than porn. lol.

How do you customise it? Is it a template based system, or do you go in via an admin interface and can customise only certain things?

well I was thinking more with the sau/googlevideo hybrid, you upload and serve the videos through video.google.com... and users post a thread in a dedicated forum on here, say "Skylines Video", with a) link to the video b) description. The thread forms the basis of conversation on that video.

e.g. "my great video" http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7486583767426908809

But ok.. I see how it works now. Either works.

[Bass Junky]

Hey ppls.

Okay, I've now got admin access that was playing up yesterday.

http://skylinesaustralia.vidiac.com/default.aspx

Start uploading videos!

If there is somebody who wants to help out by making it look a lot better than it does now, and give it some SAU flavour, let me know.

Cos I'm shit at that sort of stuff!

lol. I might muck around and create a look for it over the weekend. Will let you know if I get any progress...

I just remembered I have a couple of SAU drag vids too.. might upload them as well.

[Bass Junky]

pred

you got pm

[predator]

well here is a look...

pretty basic, but I'm stuffed today. Might be enough so that it doesn't look so bland. I was going to do a nicer collage or something across the top, but maybe later.. or maybe somebody else can get creative on the top area a bit more and I can add it in?

[SirSkyline]

looks good Gordon

[predator]

those buttons sucked..

[Bass Junky]

looks tops Predator.

A Million times better than before, and a billion times better than I could ever do.

Thanks!
