Hmm, it appears yours is quite large - 116 megs... any chance you could scale that down?

As we speak, I'm dropping a set of songs to the mailbox. See if you find any of them interesting enough to put up in the outbox among others. They should present a nice variety of modern/avant-garde stuff, anyways...

hmm - riddle me this...

I tried getting either of the WIP files, but it says 'failed to open file' whenever I try to download. Any idea why?

Also - another thing - seeing how you have a general AMV downloads section, and you have my Wasteland in there - if you want, I can send you a 'final' version of the video which looks a bit better, and has some of the effects towards the final part smoothed out.

I'll drop it to the inbox tomorrow if you don't mind. Might as well distribute it somehow...

Thanks for the heads up on requiem. I knew it sounded familiar but I couldn't place it. I think it's also a title of an anime movie.

I uploaded a little "preview" of my video. This is why I wanted the song, I actually put together the clips as a example of my source so I could show it to people and ask for song suggestions. Then I thew some difrent songs in the audio track and requiem just clicked. All timing is incidental and this in NOT a work in progress, just a teaser to show you guys what I'm looking at. Enjoy.

Hmm... do you have download permissions on some folders but not others? It seems like I can only download files from the folders for songs and the videos you made, but not others (including WIP).

Check your permissions, or should I check my own settings?

It's not just you. The permissions on the WIP section are set so that they are unreadable to the public.

I can't get Downwithpants's WIP but I can get rose4Emily's and the songs.

Hmm, yea.

Anyways, I'll be listening through more songs tomorrow, and I'll see if I have any definite ideas....

I have a lot of KareKano footage on my hard drive right now that I'm working with for another video, but if I can figure out (or someone suggests me) something that would make a good instrumental video for that series, I'd definitely try and get something in for this weekend.

I'd like to try something that's not heavy for once (ever notice the excess of King Crimson among my suggestions?), but I'm trying to figure out what...

Otohiko: All songs have been moved to the "Outbox" and added to the list. An improved "Wasteland" would be great.

Pen-Pen: Incidental timing? Pretty good incidental timing. I just moved that video to the WIP section as well.

Permissions: I dunno. I checked the permissions and they are consistently "read-only" for all groups other than root for the entire outbox, along with every other portion of my FTP site other than the "Inbox", which is "read-write" for everyone. Are you having problems with even seeing the files in those folders, or just with downloading them? You shouldn't have issues with either - but the more you all tell me, the better I can look for info on any bugs I might have to work around.

The size of my video: I'll encode a small version tonight. The one there is so big because it's 13min long and very high-motion most of the way through, and I haven't had time to fiddle with the settings too much, but I should be able to get much better compression out of it with a little tweaking.

I'm a dumbass:

The permissions problem wasn't the folders, it was the files. Some of the files (including DownWithPants' video preview) were set without group permissions. I'm not sure why, but at least now I can reset all the files' permissions and continue to do so as more are added.

You might want to try downloading again - it should work this time.
