I tried using ImageStation earlier this week after someone suggested it in another thread. I uploaded my video, which was only 25 mb, at 1:30 pm and shortly before 8:00 I received an e-mail saying my account was suspended.

So I hope those of you who plan on using this service have better luck then me.

The ability to upload videos to imagestation is hidden, but advertised. The only way I saw of doing it was using the method I described above in the tutorial. It's not you, it IS a royal pain in the butt to find the images upload.

I forgot something in the tutorial. When I started using the Easy Upload Tools, I downloaded their manual installation program and ran it. I now have a folder called "Easy Upload Tools" in my program files, and it runs fine. To get to that download you need to go to the normal download page for Easy Upload Tools, and click the "alternate download" link.

Make sure you're video is not hentai or pornography, doesn't contain excessive violence, and doesn't have any profanity in the title (like say, "%$@#ing great amv!". That could get u suspended. Other then that they didn't put any real limitations on videos so there shouldn't be any reason for you accoutn to be suspended.

Lastly, direct linking to ImageStation is possible, but requires you to do some programming on your own. Simply copying the shortcut link WILL NOT WORK, because the shortcut link links to Javascript code, which in turn calls a Window.Open to link to a URL. Using a "Javascript:(code);" statement in your link would work under normal circumstances, but a-m-v.org doesn't like quotes in your URL. The best compromise for direct linking vs. ease of link creation is to link to the imagestation "popup", which is one click away from the actual direct link (example of this popup). The absolute easiest way of linking would be to link indirectly to you're album's page, and the hardest way to do the linking would be true direct-linking, since you need to get around a number of security issues to do it.

(P.S. Direct linking to imagestation is also grounds for an account suspension according to Sony)

I've also noticed that I can't really access my ImageStation account anymore, it tells me the "page is unavailable", but I received no emails about my account being suspended. My videos are still there though. Weird.

that shoulda been "...to find the VIDEO upload."
