A what? >.<

For some reason, I dont see the time bar at all when watching a vid. You know, the one where it shows how much has dl'ed while you watching it, usually grey while the red is what you are up to??

Anyways, now if i want to skip through a vid it has to redownload again which is annoying. If i watch a vid outside of youtube thats imbedded in a forum or something, it works fine......

How do I fix?

Thanks, I'll give it a shot.

EDIT: Well it works, but i lose all my information, any way to move bookmarks, browser history etc?

Thanks, but now it seems to work just fine with my default profile... weird.

So I just got an invite from machinima respawn. I'm not that interested, but there's no downsides to accepting right?

So I had a meeting with them yesterday. Brandon Thompson and this other guy. Forgot his mane. They set up a Skype Chat meeting with me, and like well, all the other fighting game people who are new. During the meeting they asked what we focus on, as far as our content. And they approached me, because I seem to know all the combo video makers. And they know that. Just as much as they Know error1 knows lots of us. I don't know... Point is, they asked me if I can email them a list of some combo video makers, and tutorial makers. I've yet to do it, but I initially asked them, "Why haven't y'all invited Doopliss?" And they were like, "Who??" And I said, "He goes by Dadoppen on youtube." And they were like, "Hm... I'll check him out."

So, I guess it worked. haha.

I don't know, man, but I think you should do it. They obviously mean well by wanting to help the fighting game community. They are trying to get a big following and plan to expand their reaches to Shoryuken and Eventhubs. They're still new, so they're trying to accumulate more video makers, and until they can supply more than 2 or 3 fighting game videos a week, they'll keep trying to get more people to contribute. I feel it's a good program. And they don't really care about what the content is.

On of the big things they talked to us about is how Fighting games are a lot easier than First person Shooters. Fighting games can produce videos that focus on, commentary, combos, tutorials, entertainment, while FPSs can mostly only do commentary. So they're open to anything.

So... If you guys would like to try it out, let me know, and I can refer them to you. I also told them about wolverine master and Keiko, cause I asked if they'd be willing to accept older fighting=game material. And they got really excited about the idea.

And don't worry, I didn't mention this forum, at all.

I mean, I'll happily join as long as there's no added pressure from them forcing me to put up new material. But thanks to my combo plan for SFxT, that shouldn't be a problem anyways.

I've decided to accept the offer. I realized I'm in need of money, or at least will be in the near future, so an extra income like this would be nice. I guess I'll just upload every major video to machinima, then to my own channel a week later, or something like that. Well, thanks for recommending me to them!

Sweet! If you gave a good commentary voice, you can do what the Lefthandedmonkey does in his videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJ0XMWJbtE0

He's really good. Pretty funny.

Nah, I'm not much of a talker. I'm planning to make a CV per character for SFxT, so that will keep me occupied for a while. Then we have my trial videos, which i might be able to get out there before SFxT is released.

Maybe this is a silly question, but what are you suppesed to write under "By:" in the contract?

"By?" That's WAY too specific, bro. Back it up. Hahaha, ok, I'll check.

Oh, ok, they need your actual Signature. I used adobe Acrobat for it. In black ink! Or, #0000000

Ok, thanks. There's a lot more legal stuff here than I thought, I dunno if I'm up for this. Especially the music part, will I need to find someone to make music for me? >.< I don't see why I can't simply use the soundtrack from the game I'm recording footage from...

You can use the soundtrack of any capcom game. Dreamking does it. If you need music, I have a few number of people who do nice stuff and they do it for free for us to share. Like

Hit up numberoneblind's channel and check out his stuff. If you like it, he'll share it.

That's ok, Capcom music is all I need I'll keep your offer in mind though, thanks.

Check your pm snootch.

Sounds like an interesting opportunity. Good luck! Let us know how it goes.

What does "&feature=colike" mean? Does that mean if you click the link you automatically like the video?

It's hard to believe how ugly and useless the new u2b channel layout is. Why are they so hell-bent on making it harder to find what you want?

Well, anyway, i've converted the ComboVid channel and trying to make the best of it. I added a whole bunch of featured channels in random order (because organizing them seems to be impossible without deleting/re-adding them). I'll probably end up clearing it all out and simplifying the channel as much as possible eventually, but i've wasted enough time on it for one weekend.

Yeah, I'm still stubbornly holding on to my old channel layout, even though they're gonna force me to change it on March 7th. They already messed up the subscriptions on the front page, and now this. I don't know how they pass this stuff off as useful...

I used playlists as feeds for video galleries on a few sites, and they made it impossible to move a video right from one playlist to another. Seems easy enough to just add the video to another playlist, but I was keeping track of videos that got deleted on a private playlist, so I could see what they were and how much they had before getting flagged down without having to log in to other accounts (accounts which may have since been banned anyway).

So..blah.

God damn it google, they don't want to accept my ADSense account since I don't have enough text on my channel? Excuse me for being a man of few words...

Here, Maj! Did a special one for you:

Save it as Jpeg and upload it. It should fit. Let me know if it works, or if you like it. Tried to work it as a CvS2 tribute for you.

*edit: Had to tweak it a bit.

Ooooh he might not say it, but I will..that's the wrong Guile, that's his sprite from SvC: Chaos, not CvS2.

I know!!! I realized right after I rendered it a jpeg and after I went back to fix it, I wasn't able to crop him out successfully. I'll give it another go though.

* edit: Got it!

So i just found out that yt changed my channel.

SNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTCH, you have a templete for YT i can use?

Anyone else got the new, somehow worse YT home page? I really don't know how subscribers are supposed to see stuff you upload anymore; it's way too inconvenient as you now have to individually select (only show uploads) for each person you're subscribed to, and even then that's a hassle.

every time I don't think they can make it worse, they surprise me

The new "highlights" shit is idiotic as well.
