after talking to another member yesterday , i thought it would
be good for the site to have its own video section , now i understand that
cost and bandwidth would come into it, but surely with enough interest we could get a video hosting site
again i know cost would come into it but if we made it members only , then the cost could be met by the members ,
i mean another fiver on top of an already incredable bargin would not bother most people.
now we don't want this service flooded with any old tat and this service would be purely for people to share their track day fun and other such stuff plus the odd funny video . if you think this is a good idea then please speak up and
show the powers that be that this is a wanted and usefull facility to have on the site

Just car related stuff would be OK, but size is an issue. I have banged on about making a DVD, but no one has taken me up. I am sure Richard (Physician) is more than capable as well...........but no huge interest.

Cost will kill us :( Unless we know someone with their own server - eh zentac ;)

I dont mind doing it, but all video will have to be resubmitted to me so I can upload it.

I am not keen on spending hours downloading and cataloguing archive footage!

Dont mind giving a hand!!
It was me Paul was talking to i think? - i have a camcorder of his for Japfest (ta Paul and hurry up and find the cable!)
Best thing to do is specify a limit and type(s) of file.
Say 40mb - 60mb (enough for a good size and a good lap of Coombe)
And say wmv, avi and mpegs (real player mov's etc are cr*p for the size IMHO!!
Then perhaps if peeps want the video files on a DVD with membership renewals
(good for peeps still on 56k!) say £3 most of which could go back to the club (less price of Blank DVD, postage and jiffy bag = £1.50ish?
As i said, i'm willing to give a hand Dave if you want?
I Have a 1.1mb connection and 30gig monthly limit...............
But i must stop DL t*rrent* :) purely for research you understand!!

Let me know, John
