vids?

[catechism]

So, I have a new and exciting sickness called Doctor Who fandom. It would seem I am a Doctor/Rose shipper. Who knew? Regardless, this has led to the dark place wherein I spend a lot of time watching vids on YouTube. I still have all the tabs open because I feel the need to tag them, but I don't know how. Help

Your tags never cease to amuse me! Ahahaha, punctuation.

I don't know why I like to know the length of vids, but I do. Maybe because stupid RPF fandom requires so much footage, and some of it is 10 minutes long -- and that is a serious time investment. I like to know that before I start.

Another thing I like to know about vids is if I have to download them or not. Obviously, if your link is to youtube, then that's not in question, but LJ vid posts will often have a few viewing options. And if you *do* have to download it, then it's sometimes nice to know the format?

My vid format, let me show you!
Title (set to song title by artist) by vidder, Fandom, Gen/Pairing, Vid (format), Rating.

Date posted | Vidder's summary/notes or song lyrics. @Streaming URL.

Usually vids are titled the same as the song title, but for those that aren't, I would include a "set to [song title] by [artist]" in my description.

Also, vidder tends to not rate their vids so I usually have like a NotRated/Pants or NotRated/No Pants (NSFW) rating. A little extraneous, but for me, it indicates that the vidder has no rating and based on my view, there is nudity or no nudity involved.

I also like to include links to YouTube or IMEEM or other streaming services in my notes so that the vid can be easily accessible.

MWUHAHAHAHA! WELCOME TO THE DUCK SIDE OF THE FORCE! Er, or something. I'm actually on dial-up, so vids are mostly out of the question unless I want to spend an hour trying to watch a 3-minute video. I like your ideas though.
