The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Here is another music vid I created to see how good I could get with my new program.  I must say that I'm getting better rapidly; much faster than expected. :D What do you think?  It's the last one on the page, as always:

That was great, and better video resolution then the previous one.  The lyrics, what I could understand, seemed to fit the song well.

Thank you for the comment Kor.  I would love to make another one, but I have to wait until I get around to fixing my master computer.  I'll play around with more effects and transitions on the next one. :D

Yeah, I've been experimenting with different kinds of compression.  I don't want to wait for them to encode a 80mb file (which all the other one's were about that much), but the last one is only 12mb and it's so much better quality!  It takes them about 6 hours to process (meaning make sure the file I uploaded isn't porn or illegal) an 80mb file, but it only took them about 20 minutes with this one. :D I will attempt to increase quality with every vid, but the audio quality is automatically decreased to 48kbps (instead of the usual 128kps) automatically to save streaming time.  I can't change that.  Still, it IS streaming video, which is typically low quality.

12 MB for that quality, wow, I would have thought it would be much larger.  As for audio quality I don't mind.  I guess some folks may be picky but I"m diffidently not.  You are very good and good luck on always getting better.   We all benefit from your music videos and some the other folks here make.
