Stage6 streaming

[charmax]

I have added a few of my vids to stage6 which is a HQ streaming service. Unfortunately, Imeem's quality, both for viewing vids and it's service generally, is not as great as it was. I will be sticking with Imeem until I am booted but this is to give an alternative for some vids. So far, there are about half a dozen of us vidders up there. Anyone joining me?

This is me

Shame about Imeem because we had a lot of vidders joining and it nice to be part of that.

I saw that they were offering Dr Divx software so once I'm back from my convention this weekend I think I will give it a go. I've seen AutoGK spoken of alot. Is it an all round converter, encoder etc? I'm looking for something that will also crop my clips to stop squishy aspect ratios when I mix the seasons, WinAvi doesn't quite get it right.

Maybe more vidders will join up to stage6 as well-as an alternative... I hope so anyway.

I don't really know how Dr Divx works but with AutoGK it's not so much a converter as an encoder. The formats AutoGK supports are:

"AutoGK accepts input files with the following extensions: MPG, MPEG, VOB, VRO, M2V, DAT, IFO, TS, TP, TRP, M2T, AVI. In terms of formats it supports mpeg1, mpeg2, transport streams, vobs from DVDs and practically any codec in AVI file."

I can't really suggest a tool that will automatically correct the aspect ratios, unfortunately.

Have a great weekend!

Oh thanks for that, my old vids are all WMV, so I may have to converter them to MPEG first and then go from there.

The aspect ratio thing is a real pain in Movie Maker.

I will have fun, I might be knackered after but I am sure I will. I'll try not to picspam lj :)
