This morning I was going through my normal routine of checking my site, my favorite web comics and all 6 of my email accounts ... I took a peek at my guest book for www.doriimudejitaru.com (my little site for all my videos) and what do I see? Someone basically trashing videos on my site. Now the video was not one of mine,it's one that I so kindly host for a friend that doesn't make videos anymore((also please note that it was his first attempt and he used less that quality footage for it )) now that collage now has taken up most of his time. I also noticed that this punk seems to talk like he knows a thing about videos, so I go to the site that he listed in the guest book entry. And what do I see? Two cardinal sins for making an AMV…
1. Fansubs/subtitled -- Nothing wrong with watching them…I know several people that do wonders when editing with them, but not this time…
2. WMV -- They choose to use windows media whatever as the method of delivery…once again nothing wrong with it, when done right. I personally have made several very nice quality renders with it. But, when you try to squeeze it down to under 5mb and at a rate of 96 - 221 kbps, it just don’t look right…
Now is it right for them to trash out videos on my site, if his videos aren’t that much better? Am I just blowing smoke outta my ass for no apparent reason? Or perhaps, I should cut back on that extra cup of coffee ? *twitch*
Now I know that some will do what they can with what they got. but still a little respect to your fellow creators is needed, yes?
A little insight please?
Sorry if this is not the best of topics , but I just needed to vent…
