Watching that - I remembered the primitive GWF videos Jon and I did using two VCRs connected together. There was one for "Fuck Off" and one for "Magic Chair".
We also overdubbed an entire segment of a Whistle Test about a band called "Tools You Can Trust" recording a Peel session with our own voices.
It was hilarious, of course.
However, it was also on Betamax and the tape is long gone. Sniffle.
that's a shame - i bet that was great stuff! I think it would be cool to do some vids for CVC tracks now, both new and old, perhaps have a DVD comp of vids (could include some archive stuff too) should be a laugh.
I was thinking about that earlier - after seeing the Flapjack vid. I've yet to find a "YouTube" like service that hosts Flash files though. That would be the obvious choice of format.
do you know a way to prevent audio going out of synch on YouTube. Some uploads are fine whilst others the audio slips out of time. Do you know if the compression techniques you apply to the vids effect this?
That seems to be a perrenial problem with YouTube. I think the best solution is to upload in the closest format to what YouTube converts to - using MPEG4 as your video codec (i.e. Quicktime Pro, DivX or XVid), MP3 for audio and a resolution of 425 x 350.
What program did you use to convert the CLASH cover video. I'm working from VOB files ripped from DVD and then using one of the many VOB to AVI converters (AoA DVD ripper) to convert to MPEG1 and then upload it to YouTube. If I was to do it at a higher quality for most files it would exceed the 100mb limit.
Sorry for jumping the gun - i've just reread your post and have downloaded DivX so gonna mess around with that, I guess that it is codec related rather than a software problem. Bit of a noob with all this.

Yep - I'm guessing it's probably a codec prob.
I use Xvid rather than DivX, personally (it's an open source clone of DivX):

and use TMPGenc 3.0 from:

To do the encoding.
TMPGEnc is quite cool, in that you can just to encode a section of a clip - but it's quite expensive.
