Zachd.com/mvc2 video thread

where’s the pizza thief avatar, Zach? =[ lol

ah, ok, I didn’t know you shouldn’t stream AVIs.

But the files are so big, I can’t reliably download them at home, maybe at work. hmmm

thanks anyway :]

LOL - yes, the failure to reliably download them on your connection is kind of the exact reason why a player would have trouble with these files. :tup: That is interesting data that would have pretty perfectly explained why your player was choking. It is interesting that you had seen/known that but had blamed the player. :smile:

Pizza Avatar: eh, it’s just pizza. I figured enough people saw it. It’s not like it killed me, it was just bad behavior. =\

well I have problems playing/streaming AVIs at work, not at home. I’ve been able to stream/play smaller AVIs at home.

Also, I can’t remember exactly, but I may have the same problems with big vids of other formats, just like I do with large AVIs. I’ll remember to check

I’m really not interested in this discussion in this thread. You’re looking for the Computer Support thread in Tech Talk for this discussion. I would really really prefer if we could keep THIS thread about Mahvel videos and that kind of goodness so that we don’t bore/distract people. :smile:

It would be possible to have all sorts of junky connections that have problems with large files of any type. That is a local artifact of a badly configured system/connection which has little reflection upon my site and everything to do with your network connectivity having problems which you would want to resolve. Attempting to “stream” very large files from an HTTP server on a junky connection is going to fail magnificently. :smile:

I may begin encoding some smaller snippets of videos now on my old PC to see if it can even do a half-assed job. But they should know more about my new processor’s ETA tomorrow - and I’ve read articles that say it should be arriving tomorrow anyways. Let’s hope. :smile:

OK, happily, my site should go offline temporarily as they put in the new hard drive. I added a 750GB hard drive and 1GB of RAM for now. That should probably cover things for a long time to come. I will likely spoil a certain segment with DVD bonuses and that kind of thing, but will be limiting access to those big huge downloads so that we don’t anger the Internet provider gods (limitations methods TBD). Nobody should probably mind since I’ll be putting up Marvel footage more regularly again once the new PC arrives. :tup:

EDIT: ok, server is temporarily down for upgrade
EDIT: server back up, more RAM present. HD not installed yet

I wasn’t discussing anything, you were :confused: I was just stating stuff. And it is sorta about the marvel vids…but anywho

Hope it’s up soon! :woot:

Everytime I go to zach’s site I always think to myself, does anybody really understand how much time and effort went into this Amazing site? Some people just love to bitch and moan I guess :rolleyes:

It’s all good. <3

Still no ETA on the new processor for my home PC.

For what it’s worth, Zach == Preppy (‘Preppy’ is the Saved By the Bell nickname for the character Zak) == ZachD (D is my middle name). It doesn’t really matter, but I had some confusing conversations at Final Round with people were asking about how I (Zach) worked with Preppy. Or how I Preppy worked with ZachD. :lol:

I figured :slight_smile:

lol saved by the bell…i thought ur real name was preppy like Zach D. Preppy.

Change your name to Zach-DV …dooooo It!

Hey Preppy just to want to say thank you for the videos that you provide free without charge. I started playing Marvel just last year ( yeah yeah like 7 years late =( ) and within that year I’ve learned a whole bunch that probably without the vids would have taken a lot longer to learn. Thanks again.

P.S. The Josh360 vs. Snakeshot vids are hot!!!

I actually use this for VirtualDub: http://www.videohelp.com/tools/WMV9_VCM And for audio it’s sometimes the default WMA codec or the MP3 format (192kb/s@48kHZ). I’ll post you an AVI sample later so you can check it out.

What are the videos that are causing trouble? I’ll try to save you some work and reencode them myself if you’d like.

Please do not generalize.

Brazilians work very hard to develop a strong community. We throw tourneys often and we have serious websites which do not allow direct links. You cannot draw conclusions based solely on the fact that there are stupid people in Brazil, because stupid and unethycal people abound in many countries.

I don’t understand the technical issues. From the thread I guess some person or website is direct linking into Preppy’s and that causes the problem. Preppy please confirm it and, if that’s the case, just give me more details on the problem and I will ask for help in trying to identify whoever is causing those problems.

Keeping Brazil without access because of some single idiot it is sad for many players who like to check your website for MvC2 news. Of course I understand this is a necessity right now, but you can count on us brazilians for help in identifying or correcting whatever the problem is.

Great Post. Just felt like saying that.

just like to say mvc2 is godlike…

Last week’s tournament grand finals at my house, JMar vs RowTron on my mediocre MAS sticks:

  • RowTron vs JMar, 3/21
  • [media=youtube]_htTrf5polw[/media]
    I told them we should use the garage machine (actual arcade cabinet) which has pretty sweet sticks, but noooooo. The MAS sticks are more broken in now after Dann and I played on them for 12 hours, but – they’re still pretty weak. If you played on my black-with-blue-buttons MAS stick on FR, that was one of the sticks being used. That was the one where I couldn’t super. :rolleyes:

Fuck MAS. Kyle’s taking forever to rewire the best MAS stick I have. =P

Preppy, once again you’ve came through with a new form of viewing your videos despite your open hate towards a share site that degrades the video quality.

thanks

^-- Have you experienced the joy of YouTube ads yet?

I won’t rat them out, but I was talking with the lead video strategist at a Major Company, and he was pissed as hell at how crappy Flash is. It’ll be interesting to see where things are at 3-4 years from now.

You’ll note that I both put it on gootube AND made a downloadable version available. So: theoretically win-win. There’s much better solutions available, but that’s a start.
