No H.264 in AVI sticky

People should NOT put h264 in avi because its fucking stupid.
However, I don't see a need for a sticky clogging up space on the forums though. I don't watch a lot of videos, but I honestly haven't seen a single h.264-in-avi video around here. Also the guides (still in beta) only tell people how to put h264 in an mp4 container. I think if people don't read the guides, then they wont be reading a sticky either.

Oh I saw pretty much here. It happens when people just hear h.264 and make a google search or something. Than they find it for avi and think:
"Hey! Why should I bother with an mp4?"

and that´s the story... But oh well let´s don´t make drama. It already stands in the guides and I think that more people look into the guides than in sticky threads like the forum rules. In the end... Zarx said it:

Ok, yeah a sticky probably isn't necessary. I've just been getting sick of all the threads about H.264>AVI that end with it being said its a bad idea and don't do it. I just want people to be aware that it is an all around dumb idea. Thanks for your feedback ^_^!

Mhmm... Scintilla has always had a cool sig with a wonderful flashy .gifs saying:
"DON`T USE DIVX/XVID IN YOUR EDITING SOFTWARE!!!"

You could try the same thing.

HA! I've actually been thinking of making a sig. I'll probably do that now, just no flashing .gifs. No need to cause seizures

. And I got my compress your audio sig idea from Scintilla.

well we could all put random bits of advice in our sig and see if that solves the problems on the org... it might at least effect people who visit the forum >.>

I downloaded this video months ago but haven't got around to watching it (so it's clogging up my Pending Stars list) partly because it is H.264 in AVI: http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members ... _id=141135

quality really should be all that important, my favoite videos are the old mpgs that were 320x240.
