YOU'RE MAKING MEDIA HISTORY.

I love this with all my heart. thank you.

Depending on interest I may do a podcast commentary for each fan-edit and/or a "gag reel/making of" mockumentary of the editing process.

DEAR GODS PLEASE. and then put them on the DVD as extras!

[cvm_productions]

Hee! You're too kind - I think the Phantom Edit has far more of a claim to media history. :p

However, I'm so glad you love it! I can promise that it loves you back.

I really would like to do the commentary and the mockumentary. The mockumentary could totally go on the DVD as an extra; I'm a little more uncertain as to how I'd do the podcasts as neither of my DVD making programs have the ability to lay in additional audio tracks and there isn't enough space on the DVD to just put it on there twice. So I think I'd have to just offer the commentaries as extra downloads if I did them.

Yargh, megawhatsis will only let me watch 72 minutes in one day (for free--I always have the 'exciting' option of paying for the service). But it's been very compelling so far! I'm anxious to see what's next!

[cvm_productions]

Yargh indeed! I apologise, I was not aware of that limitation. However, I do have a possible fix for you. I have edited the post above to include secondary download and streaming links using an anonymizing service that will, in theory, make megaupload think you're an entirely new person and that you haven't used any of your viewing allocation today. So you should be able to reupload the streaming version every 72 minutes and watch it that way.

I'm very glad to hear that you're enjoying to so far though! :D

As you can see, I have discovered a problem with both my trusty methods of circumnavigating MegaUpload's bandwidth limitations (which have never failed me before, curses!) and also I cannot upload it to YouTube.

However, it is my understanding that the 72 minute limitation isn't per day; you just have to wait an hour before continuing to view. Still extremely annoying, but not quite so crippling as a 24 hour ban.

If I can find an alternative site for streaming I will check it out but so far nowhere else will host something this large/long with no limitations such as this. :(

Have you thought about sharing these via torrents? I know i'll never be able to download the files from megaupload. I can barely get 30mb downloaded....But it does look like a very interesting project! :)

[cvm_productions]

I would love it if these were available via torrents, unfortunately I lack the capacity to seed them myself in any meaningful manner due to bandwidth limitations, so unless someone else decides to put them up there, it'll have to be direct downloads only for the moment. I am really sorry though. :(

Could the streaming work for you? I am potentially considering putting it up on YouTube if the megavideo streaming works poorly for people. I'd rather not because of the poor quality and having to chop it into ten minute chunks and the likelihood of it getting suspended shortly anyway, but it is something I'm considering if there's demand.

[amothea]

I haven't tried the streaming but I'll give it a go when I'm on vacation next week. :)

Normally, I like downloading because my husband and I watch tv via the projector. It's not so easy when something is streamed.

And yeah, I've torrented some large files before..seeding isn't easy if you have a 50kb upload cap. :(

Ah, I just hit that 72-minute wall, but I love what you've done with this. So much less misplaced and sentimental schmoop! So much more plot, unpadded with mooning and longing looks! \o/

[cvm_productions]

Yay! I'm so glad you're enjoying it so far and sorry for the upload limit. :(

I may try to work out that youtube option sooner rather than later if the anonymizer link isn't working for people. May I ask if you tried that?

Anyway, I'm glad that the it's working! It's great to know what people think!

What an undertaking.

I also support making-of and podcasts. Long live Redactica!

Thank you! Yes, it was a pretty major project but I still think the best response to the um, 4.5 situation.

Thanks for your support. Long live Redactica indeed! :D
