Having said that though: we've had success embedding 60 and 120fps streams on the site, which look amazing. At some point, assuming the bandwidth usage isn't going to blow us out of the water, this will become an option for movies like yours.

Hm, well that is just a direct link to the mp4, so that isn't really streaming (although your computer most likely will try to download it and play it at the same time). Y'know what I mean?

Yeah, I can definitely add support for it. Do you have a link to the movie you posted it under?

Yeah, you can link it using the mirrors tab, just like you have already added the mega.co.nz. Just click the "Add Download" button. I saw you posted the movie and am trying to get a mirror up, but mega is being really slow. If you need to, hit me up on steam and I can provide an ftp site if that'll help the uploading.

I bet your demo is pretty large, right? The form doesn't really handle large file uploads well unless you upload them to another site and use the url uploading. Sorry about that; this is on my todo list.

Ah cool, then we're on the same page. Maybe mdv and I can try some huds out once the TF2 rendering codes settle down a bit.

Yeah, the narrowness of the site is something we've gotten complaints about before, so we're keen to listening to people mentioning it (or at least I am, haha). It's definitely good criticism and I appreciate hearing about it. Thank you.

I agree about the ability to search through the videos. Right now you can search through the demos using http://www.igmdb.org/?page=search&stype=render however it is relatively limited as compared to what you guys are requesting.

I'll see if I can tap into the Steam API for user account creation and login and render tracking.

I think the biggest issue with the huds is that you'd have to have it configured on your own computer and know exactly what files to upload. I think a better solution would be to upload a bunch of preset huds (competitive, movie maker, etc) and allow the user to pick one they want to render with. Then we don't have to deal with any funky files being uploaded.

As far as the UI goes, if you have any recommendations I'm all for hearing it. The layout for the movie page was essentially redone from scratch in the last few months. When you say "too small" you mean too narrow?

The branding and logos are really just placeholders right now. Someone came forward to create some logos for the site but they have disappeared since.

As for the custom render hud, that definitely is something we want to add on, however most huds are really complex. Right now the main focus is to fix any rendering issues that pop-up (a few were fixed a few minutes ago) and to finalize the site so that you aren't forced to log into the site to view anything. Releasing to the public is something we've been striving for for a long time.

If the demo is really big it might be timing things out, so maybe try zipping it first and then uploading. See if that works.

mdv asked me to register here as I'm the main programmer behind igmdb.org. I'm going to try and reply as best I can if issues come up.
