Jack Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Ok, ok, so here it is, a brand new military vehicle website from HMVF - but with a twist. Let me introduce you to the HMVF TV, the first of its kind - a YouTube for military vehicles! We have all uploaded videos to YouTube only for them to be lost amongst the many millions of videos on there. HMVF TV is a video site specifically for military vehicles and that includes anything from a bicycle to an aircraft carrier, from any country or any era. It is for the military vehicle movement to share video footage from events around the world or simply individuals driving or maintaining their own vehicles. We encourage you to be inventive with your videos otherwise clip after clip of convoys will soon bore people. We would like to see people using their imagination. I have many friends in the Gulf who have some interesting MV footage from there so would be pleased to see material like that. One unique element(and maybe the first of its kind on the mv scene) we want to encourage is people uploading 'how to' videos - essentially a video workshop manual. An example being how to change a wheel, or UJ; or how to change the oil on a Land Rover, GMC, Ferret, Jeep and pretty much anything else you can think of that helps to exchange knowledge and experience and helps to keep history alive. We will have a section called 'a buyers video guide' where those with experience can upload a video on the good and bad points to look for when buying any military vehicle - this is a feature that is designed to help safeguard and inform those of us who haven't a huge amount of experience with military vehicles. Above all else the site is to help people to 'keep them rolling' and to have fun and to inspire. Rules of engagement. All videos will be approved by the team to safeguard everyone from porn and unwanted 'junk'. No modern 'action' footage from current conflicts will be allowed – we have no interest in glorifying war or diminishing the reputation of British or foreign armed forces. These factors will be built into the approval process used by the team. Any unwanted footage will be deleted immediately and so too will anything else that isn't relevant - this will be a safe and responsible site. We want your feedback. Please let us know what you think and suggestions to improve our service. Please send the link out to all your address books and above all else - enjoy! HMVF TV - http://www.hmvftv.com Warm regards. Jack and the HMVF Team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessie The Jeep Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Several of us have been testing this for a while now, but now that it is fully live, how long will it take for videos to be 'approved'. Is it a manual process by moderators?? Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Daymond Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 just got my email, what a very good idea. :-D Perhaps we should start with the basic videos first? - How to make a proper cup of tea ;-) First thing I was taught at the museum when I was 'nowt but a lad', "get that bit right" I was told and everything else will follow.

Dakman Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 Followed the link, and didn't expect to find a fully-functioning site, all up and running. Someone's been VERY busy on our behalf! Heartiest congratulations on this marvellous addition to our hobby! :tup: On a technical note, most of the videos pause for a couple of seconds as the rate of play visually overtakes the rate of download. Viewing a second time is OK. Is this a function of my piss-poor broadband connection, or the graphics card on my new computer, (Processor Intel® Core 2 CPU T5500 @ 1.66/1.67 GHz, Ram 1024, 32-bit system, HDD 80 Gb). And no, I'm not one of those clever #~^*s who know what all that means! Maybe that question needs Jorisamising or whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joris Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Well most work in uploading vids has been done by Safariswing, I only installed it and got it working. Bad video streaming (downloading of vid takes longer then viewing) can be both your connection or the connection to the website.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 I've been trying to upload a few more videos, but the status bar doesn't work and then it times out. Might need to look at this Joris! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
