Arimaa on Youtube

I took the liberty of adding the 2009 WC final game to Youtube. Perhaps one day I will do audio commentary on a game. Unless of course somebody else feels inspired?

hey, that's nice! How about adding the 08 final game? It was a fun game as well.

It's definitely a nice idea to have arimaa videos. Maybe we should plan to have all the final WC games (it's you who are working and it's me who's trying to bury you under more work  ).
As for the commentaries, go ahead if you want to do it, it's your idea! If you want help I should be able to do one game at least.

Doing a commentary is a big undertaking, especially without having the aid of computer analysis as chess commentators do. I could make a few videos on simple Arimaa ideas if I could find the appropriate positions. I doubt I'll get to it anytime soon, but feel free to create one yourself if you so desire.

that's nice!
I gave the commentary video a try tonight. That's a 135mn video, pretty long. I hope my english accent is not too bad (it definitely is during the first 15 or 20 mns of the video but hopefully gets better as I get warmer).
I wonder in which format to export it. I'm using camtasia studio, which seems to be exporting in any format but mpeg (which is recommended for utube if I understood properly?). So is a .avi or .wmv or .flv video ok?
btw, the expert mode seems not to work with completed games. I did not realize it before, but for a game commentary it's very painful, I keep moving my mouse around a lot and trying to tell moves that I should rather play for clarity ... Or does the expert mode work in comlpeted games as well and I did not use things properly?

A 135 minute commentary? Wow, is that true? You know, Youtube generally has a 10 minute limit for each video. So you'd probably have to split it into 14 parts. I use .wmv, and it works fine, so I would recommend that.
As far as the expert mode, you are right. I can get neither expert mode nor a plan window for completed games under any client.

ah, correct, I had not realized that the plan window worked now with the V2 version as well! That's nice, I should have used it perhaps, even though a new window loading is not as convienient as the expert mode, which is definitely a great feature.

Ah, I could not find a reference to size or length limit (never used utube before), are you sure about the 10mn rule? Or is a rule of thumb and do I need to try it to see how long I can get a video? It's gonna be painful to export it in 14 parts. I guess I will have to make a few seconds overlap between consecutive parts, and look for proper places to cut (which there probably aren't ^^).

Only Youtube Partners may exceed 10:59. Maybe this time you could just put the whole file up for download somewhere, and then next time keep the 10:59 in mind? Or if you wish to just cut it up, that would work, too. Considering you had no trouble in reaching 135 min, the creation of a 10-min clip in the future should be a cakewalk, as long as you can bear leaving a "few" things out.

I think MotionBox doesn't limit the length, even though it is free like YouTube. Katie used it to store some of her hour-long piano lessons, just for her own use, but I think you can share a public link too. I am very eager to hear your commentary, Jean!

ah, I tried Motionbox, they have a 300mb limit per video. I'm going to encode the video to be sure (in .flv perhaps, as they seem to advise it for slow motion online videos and that's what I usually use), but I fear it's gonna much much bigger than that (around 150 MO maybe, which wouldn't even fit in the 750MB free space alloted  at least it should fit in the 2GB free space alloted at youtube ... hmm, that turns out to be more complicated than expected
You mention putting the file up for download The_Jeh, how can I do that?

Sounds like you may not fit in this limit either, but just in case vimeo.com has a 500MB size limit with no time limit.
