Vimeo News
Thanks to Wheels Up Cavu for sending me a note about Vimeo. Details are below:
Forums " The SimHQ Community " Screenshot and Video Gallery " First Mission Success, Black Shark video...
It is discussing that Vimeo is cracking down on game footage in their database.
It even says if you are paying for an account they don't want the videos.
I don't know how true this is but you may want to mention it to your video posters.
I think some of them use the Vimeo format for their videos.
I would hate to see them lose them.
Happy New year to you.
I have had an account pulled which hosted the FSM2008 competition despite my numerous emails. From what I have read they do not wish to host "Fragfest" movies and the content you upload must be YOURS. My biggest erk with Vimeo was the instantaneous way they pulled the plug. I never received an email advising that it was going to be shut. It was just shut. I created a new account and uploaded a couple of films and shortly after I received an email advising they were to pull the content due to terms of use violation.
The damage was already done. My main concern was the viewing statistics which have been lost. So my humble apologies to the movie producers who entered the FSM2008 competion. I hope to have the files uploaded to blip.tv soon.
