FREE footage and image hosting on hv20.info

[Frank]

I just uploaded 3 files but I put spaces in the name which I gather is a no-no. Can someone please replace the spaces with underscores?

The files are:

HDVSplit Test.avi

CapDVHS Test.avi

PE3 Test.avi

[Frank]

I am uploading the 3 files again with modified names (no spaces).
So could someone just delete the 3 I already sent?
Thank you.

just testing the attachment thing, sorry about the post

Using filezilla and everything works perfectly for me. I'm even NATTed and behind a firewall.

I think the real problems most people have with this "troublesome protocol" are more related to network issues than the transfer method itself. Are the people who are having problems aware if they are behind a NAT or proxy server? Sometimes even when you think you have a direct net connection (through your ISP) you are actually behind proxies or even being NATTED and/or firewalled.

If you use "PASSIVE" mode that usually does the trick with NATs.

NO COPYRIGHTED MUSIC PLEASE;

I have made a video of an oldtimer show. I did not add music but the PA system was playing lots of music all the time and obviously this is now in the video. Is that allowable? They played loud and some music got on tape in pretty decent (though mono) quality.

I am afraid that fair use does not allow consumers to use parts of copyrighted A/V that doesn't adhere to the following rules:
1. Parody
2. Journalism
3. Education

If your video is simply a fan video used without authorization, then I am afraid it's not legal -- even if the creator of the show might not mind.

[w.pasman]

That sounds complex enough to start a whole new forum thread about....

The show was on public area, not a restricted or pay-for event. There were no restrictions on photo/filming. There are plenty of still photos online of this event and no one ever seemed to be bothered about copyright issues there?

I shot the material myself, I did not use any material from third parties.

What exactly are you referring to with parody, journalism and education?

What do you mean with "fan film *used* without authorization" ?

[Eugenia Loli-Queru]

Ah, ok, I thought you meant a TV show. :P

I guess it's ok to post a public performance, the only question is, if the songs performed where licensed by these performing artists to be allowed to be viewed on video...

[w.pasman]

Phew, sounds like I can post this video
There was no life band, they played CDs I guess.
Where did I suggest that I taped a TV show

[w.pasman]

I just tried to upload a video.
Logging in seems to work, although not very smoothly. The first time, "dir" command seemed to do nothing, but the second time it worked.

But the upload stops immediately

put "oldtimer3.m2t"
local: oldtimer3.m2t remote: oldtimer3.m2t
229 Entering Extended Passive Mode (|||44300|)
150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for oldtimer3.m2t
0% | | -1 0.00 KB/s --:-- ETA

This file is 237Mb. I asked for "bin" mode. Should I do more?


During login I saw
Connected to hv20.info.

But I typed "anonymous" both as login and password, as you indicated.

Great clip - well made.

I'm using SmartFTP (freeware) and it's working great.

[jmorton]

I normally get disconnected when the upload reaches about 10MBs - 14MBs and usually just click QuickConnect with FileZilla. It used to reconnect and the file would resume uploading automatically.

But not now. It says that the file already exists. I try to resume the upload but it won't let me do it. I try to delete the partially uploaded file and it won't let me do it. It only lets me upload and terminates my upload anywhere from 10MBs - 14MBs.

I may just have to stop uploading. Bummer.

[sonicvybe]

woot this just gave me an idea. I'm gonna create a web upload utility hehe.

[sonicvybe]

OK Here is the concept I came up with. hehe...but you have to watch the video first The website doesn't function yet - I'm gonna need to think that one through more thoroughly. I actually would love to allow creating a community include having the community host the file on their server and provide the ftp details when they setup with me. That would be sweet. Just an idea..gtg work.

FTP is good. Fewer / smaller headers, so more throughput. aka higher bandwidth for data, rather than protocols. But it can be troublesome. Given that movies are binary data and not ascii data.

Many clients/servers default to ascii mode, which is meant for text files. Since various platforms store them in different ways. Even the one built into windows defaults to ascii. Which you can get to from an MS-DOS prompt. ftp -i [IP || URL]. Not sure on the -i part, I think it was needed if uploading / downloading multiple files(mget/mput) with a wildcard and didn't want to answer confirm after each one.

Once connected to the ftp site in the client, help will list what commands are available. In case you're like me and can't remember them, or can't remember how to spell them. Most notably connect, login, binary, put, disconnect, quit. Which should be all you need. In case you wanted to upload from work, and weren't able/allowed to install "new" software.

Beyond that gftp in linux works great. I used to use wsftp or cuteftp back in college in windows, way back when. But you don't need those as most OS's have ftp built into the command line utilities.

Ok, I just uploaded a test file. It is "rain.wmv" made by Solomon Chase (DVinfo.net) and it uploads just fine. If you want, you can delete it, but I think this is the best short clip made with the HV20 I've seen so far, just awesome! http://hv20.info/yopu/rain.wmv
Anyway, I thought I would be able to download the files in the FTP directory too, but how is that?
I only see the file I just uploaded, where are the clips?

Nice clip. Any ideas on what accessories he used to keep the rain off the camera / lens?

If you've never used FTP before, this article (although a few years out of date) should get you started.

So I cant use 1 song (I that I dont have the rights to) in my test footage without being yelled at?

Exactly. No copyrighted music that you don't have the rights/license for.
