my first big file

[mortais1]

this clip was split with hasha, it is a bedroom scean where a women still fully clothed, is bound head to foot on a bed , she is wearing stockings and a guy ( i think is the lanlord ) is tickling her from all over.....it is a nice lengh clip so enjoy🙂................there are 30 segments to download.


MOD EDIT: Sorry but I had to remove the clip. The maximum a file should be, even in splits, is about 20 megs. It's not an exact limit but this clip was close to 40. 🙁 Sorry.

Hello mortais,

I assume you are not the most happy person right now, after putting lots of work in uploading those 30 segments. I once uploaded a clip of 100Mb and saw it being removed again. It is the hard way to find out about these rules. I didn't like it, but then again: it's better to have a TT with these rules than have no TT at all!

I can't PM you but if you want to discuss this more, drop me an email at [email protected]

 

[max cross]

could there be a way where she can atleast put half the amt of the megs of this clip in a thread then the other half like some time later in another thread? or maybe thats a dumb suggestion

 

[Aznagoel]

End of the day that would still be a clip of 40Mb.

A solution within the rules would be to use a video editing tool to split the clip in two 20Mb clips. Those clips can be posted (even in a single thread).

 

[mortais1]

hi .........thats cool, ill just keep on trying until i get it right........i know ill get there in the end🙂

 

[mrstox]

by the way, thanks for trying mortais!

Ok, here I am going to play the Devil's advocate. How come the limit is per clip? I can post 40 threads with 1 MB clips, but I cannot post 40 threads with 1 MB parts of one clip. Obviously, the limitation is not the amount of space provided by the server. So, what's the real rule?

 

[Lummie]

The limitation is simple: TT's Money 😛 Bandwith is expensive u know.. x.x

Let it be made known: There are options for larger clips. Copied from the Clip Posting Rules Thread:

If your split clip is over our 20 MB-total per-clip size limit, but is otherwise allowed under the rules, you may share it as follows:

RapidShare
First, if the file is 50.0 MB or smaller, you can use RapidShare. It allows for unlimited downloads of a file with split archives allowed. Just upload the file and post the secret link they give you on the forum so others can download it.

YouSendIt
Second, you can use YouSendIt. YouSendIt allows for files of any size to be uploaded, and if you put in your email as the "Recipient's Email Address," it will send the link to the file to you. Note: It only allows for 25 downloads per upload, so reupload it after it runs out.

Note: We do not endorse/support the use of these two options for any purpose other than the uploading of clips that can be legally shared so that they may then be shared with all members of the TickleTheater. Any other use is the sole responsibility of the user.

The problem is not the bandwith. Here is the key comment "If your split clip is over our 20 MB-total per-clip size limit, but is otherwise allowed under the rules". What exactly makes a clip over 20 MB no allowed under the rules. It cannot be bandwitdh. I can post more than 20 MB worth of material any time I want in split form. It is the individual clip size that is making the artificial limit...

 

[His Divine Shadow]

While it would seem that larger clips merely equal several smaller ones and are thus insignificant, it is that very fact that causes problems. When the downloading of a single clip can use up the bandwidth of ten, twenty, or more smaller clips in one go, we have a problem. Just one or two clips then can use up the bandwidth of dozens of smaller clips. When you think about it, we get probably 50 to 70 or so smaller clips per month posted, and that is in a busy month. If one clip can use up the bandwidth required for those 50 clips and then some, you can see how just a few large clips would quickly add up to a massive drain. Yes, many clips of smaller size do equal a large one. But, because it takes so many small clips before the bandwidth of even one large clip is used up, that comparison is irrelevant. One month or more worth of small clips is barely one large one, and if we get just a handfull of large clips, that can potentially be more bandwidth than we have per year. Considering that we pretty muich use up most of the bandwidth avaialbe to us each month (According to TT some time back.), it would be suicide to allow anything over 20 MB.

In other words...if you put up twenty 2meg clips that does equal 40 megs but most people won't be downloading all twenty. If you post one 40meg clip then anyone who wants to veiw it will be downloading all 40 megs and that is a LOT more bandwidth.
The best way to handle a clip that large is to split it with a video editor (or ask someone to help you split it) and then post the video in 10 or 20 meg videos seperately. Bandwidth won't be as much of a problem because, again, most people won't be downloading all of them and the site won't be burning 40megs of badwidth if someone only watches a portion of it and decides they dont want the rest. But you're still sharing the whole file which is good for everyone.

Tools for splitting

So we're down to finding the right video editing tool now!

I use Windows Movie Maker (supplied with Windows XP) and it's OK to me. It can handle WMV, MPG, AVI and a lot more (output is only WMV though). RealMedia and QuickTime are not supported.

I have been looking for a good solution for RealMedia but haven't found the winner yet. I use a trial version of Top RM Converter now (the trial version has a limitation that it only generated 50% of the target clip, but by specifying a clip twice as long as you want, it still works nice for small slices). Unfortunately Top RM Converter crashes on several source clips (I can't figure out why).


If you want to post a clip over 20Mb and don't have the availability of Windows Movie Maker, I am willing to split-post it for you. You can use www.yousendit.com to send the clip to my email address: [email protected]

 

[mortais1]

mod edit.....ive shrank it down to 22.148 megs with a converter, can i try it or will it be to much still.........just asking ?

 

[Lummie]

I THINK!!! it'd be okay, but better wait for an answer from one of the mods..or TT.

 

[nessonite1]

Sure, no problem. It's not a firm limit. Thanks 😀

Iv'e used Windows Movie Maker as well, but the main problem for me seems to be that the overall file size increases quite dramatically after editing files from other mediums. Do you have this problem too?

Sofar I have mostly edited WMV and AVI clips. In my experience WMV tend to stay the same (surprise!) and AVI usually get smaller when converted to WMV. As far as I know MPG uses very good compression, so those files are likely to grow when using Windows Movie Maker.

If someone else has different experiences I would love to hear them!

 

[dimmy_821]

oh so sad
can you try again
please try to post in several thread pages
thanks

AVI is the standard uncompressed video format (like WAV for sound), that's why AVI videos are always heavy files.

MPEG is a good compressed video format (like MP3 for sound). I wonder if DVD format isn't MPEG2 ? Not sure...

WMV is a particular format used by Microsoft (W_indows M_edia V_ideo), close to MPEG format for file pound (like WMA for sound).

DivX is another format, more compressed than MPEG (also known as MPEG4, if i'm not wrong).
