Viacom just rejected an Avatar video I tried to upload on Youtube. I spent a whole freakin' week on it and now barely anyone's going to see it, but I'm really upset by the fact that it could happen to one of my friends too. I'm so sad...

If you are interested in seeing "Avatar Randumbness: Life's a Beach" (hey, I think it's funny!) feel free to PM me.

I never had any intention on uploading any Viacom material. Nonetheless I've already written something really nice in my profile knowing that maybe Viacom wil read them.

[Simion32]

I'd say that more or less, 90% of all the videos on You Tube are copyrighted in some way.

That's another thing I hate about You Tube and law in general; most of any content that is actually interesting has SOME copyrighted stuff in it.

I say that if Viacom wanted said infringing videos removed, just have Google/You Tube delete them. It's that simple. No need to have 50,000 lawsuits over stuff that people will upload anyway. Even if they had the videos removed, other people would continue to upload the same content. Why? I'd wager that most people just don't care.

However, I think that You Tube should have issued some sort of warning first, so that Tiptup and several others didn't spend time on a video only to get it rejected without notice.

Sorry for ranting...

Pure randomness!

[Tiptup Jr.]

...Okay, that was pretty random. But I'm still mad.

Very few (if any) people make money off of copyrighted stuff they may or may not upload on Youtube. And it's like Simion said: Over 90% of all Youtube material is copyrighted in some way. How can they justify blocking all those videos? Why would they even bother?

Another thing that makes me mad is the faultiness of the Video ID system. When I upload my first Avatar video it gets rejected, but there are people with hundreds of similar videos out there and nothing's ever going to happen to them. It's just a matter of who the system picks out first, and I happen to be one of those unfortunate individuals.

Viacom and the American government are the two most evil organizations in the world... and I wish I could say I was joking.

[Tiptup Jr.]

So... Anyone up for some Randumbness?

I could watch that for hours and not get bored!

I saw a video almost the same, except it didn't have the sound effects, it had just music, and it repeated 100 times, it was called "Watch this 100 times, and still laugh!".

Don't watch if faint of heart or if you are easily scared.

There's a car driving with calm music in the background... then RAH!

[Kiddy14]

Oh yeah. I've seen it.
I got it on an e-mail though, and Windows Media Player makes videos full size... bad experience
XD
Anyway, this is for anybody who would like to listen to SpongeBob SquarePants in spanish, or should I say, Bob Esponja Pantalones Cuadrados XD

GRR! Viacom blocked one of my Spongebob videos! I thought Nick owned Spongebob, not that piece of crap company.

Uh-oh... Kong Fu, you could be in danger of having your account permanently disabled without notice. You still have 5 spongebob censored videos; I'd advise to get rid of them before You Tube does. In fact, I don't know if even that will protect you from them.

Eh, I'm sure da Fu will be fine... After Viacom rejected my video I threw in some CD-i clips, gave it a different name, and reuploaded it.

But yes, Viacom still sucks.

[Tiptup Jr.]

I know every other post I make in this thread is advertising my own videos, but the second installment of Tiptup's Randumbness is up.

And I was bored, so I also made this.

Spoiler!

Rate and comment kthnxbye.

[gamer_boy997]

If the latest post is your post, and you want to say something, it would be best if you edit your post rather then making a whole new post.

[BlueTronic]

Yes, but almost no one, if any, would see it because your post wouldn't appear in the new posts. Double posting isn't a big deal, anyway.

[Jomingo]

Double posting is a big deal, in certain situations. But you are right, if he hadn't made a new post his post wouldn't appear as new. Since it was a few days between his posts I let it off the hook.

[CaptainEddie]

I made a DK AMV.

[Tiptup Jr.]

I sended you a friend invitation. That video was awesome.

So... Yep. Mmhmm.

[CaptainEddie]

Thanks. I worked hard on it.

It's amazing how well Mr. Boombastic fits with the Zelda CDis and Avatar.

[Tiptup Jr.]

Lately I've been making little summaries of the new Avatar episodes, here and here. Yay.

And now for something I didn't make! Do the R.O.B.!

[Tiptup Jr.]

...The final episode of Tiptup's Randumbness is up, and you can watch it here. Contains Sozin's Comet spoilers.

Spoiler!

The final scene where Aang kisses Katara was too beautiful for me to wreck, so I left it be. I'm going to miss Avatar a lot.

[Simion32]

For those of you that think YouTube video quality sucks, here's a way to semi-permanently enable videos to be played in a very high quality MP4 format with AAC audio. It's even better than the "watch in high quality" link, and will work on any video even if the video doesn't have a high-quality link.

I'm using this trick now, as my connection has become significantly faster for some reason. Oh, and it only works in Firefox.

1. First, get the Redirector addon from addons.mozzila.org (CLICK HERE)
2. Use the addon to set a redirection with the following settings:
Include Pattern: http://www.youtube.com/watch\?v=([A-Z0-9._%+-]+)
Exclude Pattern: http://www.youtube.com/watch\?v=([A-Z0-9._%+-]+)&fmt=18
Redirect To: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=$1&fmt=18
Pattern Type: Regular Expression
3. Browse to any YouTube video. Redirector will now automatically add the string "&fmt=18" to the end of any video URL, causing YouTube to play a very high quality version of each video you attempt to view. Please note that in some cases this may have adverse effects on the audio quality, though.

[Kiddy14]

Yeah, I've tried the &fmt=18 trick before, but the quality got worse in videos with no Watch in High Quality button, so I stopped using it =P
Thanks for the add-on though.

[Simion32]

It's probably because YouTube hasn't re-encoded those videos for this "&fmt=18" thing.

It tends to work wonders on videos that are nothing but music. In some cases it won't do anything.

EDIT: To recommend some videos, just look at some of my more recent favorites. http://www.youtube.com/profile_favorites?user=Zimion32

[Tiptup Jr.]

I loved this.

Has anyone been having trouble with Viacom lately? They haven't tried to block any of my other videos since July 4th, so... yeah.

[BlueTronic]

I did. They blocked my Spongebob Lost Mattress video a couple of days ago, and when I tried to reupload it, they blocked it again! I uploaded it with a different name, category, and description, and it still got blocked!

[Tiptup Jr.]

Wow. You know, when I reuploaded my video, I actually changed some content in it (like putting CD-i cutscenes over stupid parts, Mama Luigi, etc.) But since then I've uploaded a bunch of Avatar videos and none of them got blocked.

[BlueTronic]

My Spongebob Frankendoodle video got blocked about a month ago, but I was able to reupload it without it getting rejected.

I tried reuploading the lost mattress episode to Google and it got rejected there, too! I uploaded it to myspace, and so far, it hasn't gotten rejected.

[Simion32]

Erm.... Google owns YouTube so it's sort of obvious that Google would block it...

[DKCplayer]

If Viacom's blocking all that, why don't they block videos of the old Viacom logo:

[Tiptup Jr.]

This is one of the first videos I truly "laughed out loud" at.

Spoiler!

Aang and Zuko sound like Bert and Ernie, don't they?

[Tiptup Jr.]

I don't know if this is double-posting or not, but THIS IS THE MOST EPIC VIDEO YOU WILL EVER SEE. And I made it. So watch it.

I don't really know why your so pissed off anyway. Looking at your page it seems to me your too young to vote. "Avatar, avatar, and AVATAR!" How about: FAIL, Phail, and PHAIL!

Someone said this to me on YouTube. And now he must die.

Seriously, if you wanna get on my bad side, insulting the awesomeness of Obama, my age, Avatar and saying "phail" is a good way to go.

[BlueTronic]

I can't stand when Youtubers rant like that. .

One thing to do is rate all his videos 1 star.
