echo v onza Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 i have put this topic up to find out why everyone hates youtube and calls its users lazy etc,i think youtube is a great website and i think it should be compulsary for a youtube link to be added when putting a video upso that any video's put up that arent worth watching can be quickly filtered through without having to spend 5-6minutes downloading themthis may sound abit harsh and its probably because i do media that i have certain expectations of these video'sbut i think its a fair point!any comments welcomecheers Dave!

Tomm Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 I usually watch the youtube version of videos if there's a choice. Yeah, the quality is rubbish but it hardly matters. Although obviously if it's a good video I'll download the proper version (if there is one). People that moan when they're given a free video to watch are stupid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenLeacock™ Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 I thinks its because people spend time editing, getting nice camera's ect. When they have finnished video's they put them on tv.isg ect because it shows the video in pritty good quality. Youtube makes the videos look crap, and i remember the other day someones video all the sound had got mixed up due to a youtube. Basically youtube is all well and good for watching a fast video, but for a video from a good rider tv.isg is the way to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stig Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 Youtube does give poor quality output and fair enough ruins the editing and the overall effect. But personally i agree it is a amazing site obviously it has teething problems like all major sites but meh i can put up with that. Although i do prefer TVSG?? whatever it is called Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnglazer Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 (edited) There are a few things that I dislike about putting videos on youtube rather than a download link:1. The resolution is usually very low, making it annoying to watch. 2. If you want to watch the video again in the future, you have to go searching for it and hope that it hasn't been removed. If it is downloadable, you can just save it if it is good.3. I can't always get on youtube at work People should put up youtube and tv.isg Edited November 12, 2007 by johnglazer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 I don't watch a video if its not on Youtube. Shocker. Unless its by a trusted film maker and editer, i just wont download it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrik Y Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 Youtube is fast an easy. Ok, the quality is poor but the riding can still be good. And if there is much work behind it with editing and good cameras with high resolution I understand that people want better quality. But as a first look I prefer youtube and if it's good I would like to have a good version. So in my opinion I think you should put up your videos on youtube with a link in the description to a high quality file.And it's easier for more people will find you if you also use youtube.

JonMack Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 I like YouTube because like Simon said, it means I don't have to download every single video I want to watch. I can watch it and if I don't like it, i didn't waste any time downloading it, if I like it, I'll try find a better quality version to dl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatsink Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 im the same check it out for the 1st 1min on youtube then if it seems good enough ill download itAgreed! I often don't have the time or disc space to download vids. Youtube is going to get you more views of your vid for people in my shoes. Once you've got their attention them higher quality downloads are nice to have Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endohopper Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 It's not so much hatred as a prefference for high quality video . For what it's worth , there's a lotta good stuff to be found there . I use the 'Toob for evaluating a clip , then if still interested will D / L the full file .
