So do you store two videos in different formats? Like if someone uploaded video.mpg, that original video would be saved, 'untouched' to an unpublic directory, then it would also be converted to a flash video file, and saved to another directory?

T-F needs a better server Must say though, I don't find it at all slow.

I was looking through php.net the other day and I noticed something in the header() function list thingy, it gave an example of using the header() to force the user to download, as you said in a previous post Tom. On php.net they gave a fairly simpler code, which I've used in a script... // Download File Settings if($_GET['action']=="download") { $query = "SELECT * FROM files WHERE id = '".$_GET['id']."'"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die("MySQL Error:".mysql_error()); $row = mysql_fetch_array($result); header('Content-type: application/force-download'); header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.$row['file_name'].'"'); readfile('home/sites/bikearea.co.uk/files/'.$row['file_name']); } I'm guessing you used a lot of different header() functions to suit different platforms and browsers? Still though, isn't what I've used above fairly universal, so as to be used across a range of platforms / browsers with no hassle?

Hmmm. I dunno, I mean trialstube does compress the file when it converts it I think, but it shouldn't to that extent I shouldn't imagine. I've been thinking about it for a while and might make something similar to trials-shack, so instead of people's videos being converted to a different format upon upload, they'll keep their original format and file size, so as to provide an original quality download. Servers are not cheap though, so it'll be a while. For now I'd just use tv.isg.si and similar. tomturd is the person behind trialstube, so I guess asking him would be your best bet EDIT: I've just streamed some other trialstube videos and the quality isn't that good on them either, I think it's just trialstube compressing the file to save bandwidth / disk space.

I'm not entirely sure, but naturally, when a video is converted to the flv format, it's compressed in size, so naturally your video won't be as good a quality. Unless you mean it's dreadful quality, in that case I'm not sure. You got a link to the video uploaded to trialstube, and a link to it directly, without any conversion etc?

I'm not sure but I would imagine they'd find out how anyone else would, by looking...

GCSE's matter a lot. Well in my experience they do. I had a friend who was in a few of my GCSE classes and is in my 6th form now. He didn't revise at all and was lazy when it come to coursework, he come out with like 3 GCSE C grade and aboves. I come out with like 7, and I'm not the brightest student, so I worked quite hard for that. Currently, although he always wanted to run his own business, he's doing a load of bollocks BTEC business course, which he's way behind in, due to laziness, and he's resitting maths and english at GCSE, which he's just failed at his second attempt. In todays world, a LOT of companies look on experience over academic stuff, however, having academic stuff there is always something to fall back on. Don't be lazy, don't use excuses, just knuckle down and come out of the results day knowing you did your best. At the end of the day, it's all down to hard work. Good luck.

If your images are too big, just make 'em smaller. I think Danny made a topic on how to re-size images, I'll try find it. EDIT: Here you go: http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....showtopic=81370

I guess it's ok for a free website. I'm pretty sure googles adsense program has under the terms of use part, that you are not meant to ask site visitors to click on your ads? Could be wrong though.

Porn, caffeen and I'm addicted to my PC. My sleeping pattern is really buggered up.

How did you manage your crack your skulls? Must have been a fair blow...?

Yeah... interesting to know how it would affect the other parts of the head, if at all? Pretty major thing to damage to be fair.

Broke my left arm twice and my collar bone. http://images.usefulzero.com/d/255

This sounds kind of interesting. I don't know about building my very own custom chopper, as I don't have the time and skill, but I have one of the chinese choppers, that come out not long ago. Think it would kind of rule out the whole idea of this though but I'll let you know if there's any possibility of me coming out with a custom chopper or whatever. Really good idea by the way, well done and good luck.

I've just googled on how to install themes, followed what it said and extracted the theme to C:\\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes, then I've went to Start -> Control panel -> Appearance and themes -> Change the computers theme -> Appearance, but the bugger aint showing up. Any ideas? Have I done something wrong?

Don't have a clue, It's a random photo, I googled for "aprilia", and defined my search to "extra large images only", then saw that and stuck it on my bg. Nice RS 125 there, although I preffer the old shape.

I've heard of this before, can't remember where though. I broke my arm quite bad not long ago, and my wrist still isn't the way it used to be. As you look down on my left arm, on the left hand side, there is a ball and socket joint, but the little lump thing everyone has got, well mine sticks out more than it used to, and looks totally different to my right arm. I also get pain when twisting my left arm anti clockwise, and as you said, it feels like everything in my joint is clicking and crunching on. I was thinking about it just the other week and thought maybe it had something to do with a damaged cartilage (sp) or something, which caused the crunching, but I would have thought it would have repaired itself by now. Really annoying, and part the reason I quite trials was because of my wrist. Youtube Video -> ">" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350">

I thought about this not too long ago, but don't have the time or money to do it. What about a trials specific auction system? So like eBay, but dedicated to cycle trials only products? Saves people going through loads of useless eBay items and could run off advertising (as trials-forum does now), rather than charging members to use it. There was a news article not long ago, about how people are quite annoyed at rising listing prices on eBay. Lets say it had a fair few features aswell, to make it more interesting and easy to use. A professional skin, secure payment and member / admin area, feedback system, avatar, and an admin section, then maybe have some mods on similar to on here, to help manage it and keep it free of problems.

Ah right, I'll be on a few weeks in that case. Doesn't Youtube care about you using "TrialsTube", and providing a video sharing service, very similar to theirs? Mind I know there's youporn, pornotube, redtube etc. Still though, I would have thought Youtube would have been tight with that sort of thing.

http://swfupload.org/documentation/demonstration Which one have you used for ttVideo? I checked out the javascript on the upload page, and it seemed to be very similar to that of the "application" demo... But that only works for images, as it generates the image thumbnails etc. Noticed the change from TrialsTube to ttVideo, Youtube been pestering?

<?php $ext = array_pop(explode(".",basename($_FILES['Filedata']['name']))); ?> I've tested that out and it's of the same secure level as using the mime type I'd say. I renamed a .JPEG image as .MPEG and it returned .MPEG as the file extension. Also, the problems I was having with the .mp4 files was something to do with the file being wierd. I checked it by uploading it via FTP to my site, then whenever me or anyone else tries to play it after downloading it, doesn't matter what program or plugin you have it just says there's an error with the file. Wierd though, because it plays fine in most players if I tansfer it straight from my external device to my PC. It's just when it's uploaded to another web server and downloaded that it has problems. EDIT: I've been thinking... lets say I get my image file (.JPEG), right click on it and click edit, open it in paint, save it as "new_file.MPEG"... doesn't that mean I've totally changed the formatting of the file (or something like that), so it's not really an image any more? So basically, if someone saved their .exe file as .mpeg, uploaded it to my public file on my server, they couldn't open it as a .exe file? Because the file format is still .mpeg, so the browser and OS just think it's a video or whatever? Really confused over this now ha.

Oh crap, I've forgot. I'll go give her the card now.

Ah I see. I know you must have used ffmpeg on TrialsTube and I'm sort of interested in learning how it all works. You don't have any links to decent tutorials do you? Just there doesn't seem to be a great deal of them around.
