Having no problems even with full screen.

Looks great!

The video loaded quickly and ran smoothly for me at full screen...

Great job Brad...

When can we expect to upload videos larger than the current limit?

Most of my HD movies are between 200-300 mb in size...

[Da_Man]

both seemed the same for me, good work brad, and congrats on the newly acquired site

[CascadiaPilot]

Alright, first one was slow. Second one was super fast, didn't take any time to buffer. Whatever you did, you fixed the buffering problem I had initially. Awesome job!

Brad, it looks fantastic. Just one gripe. The video buffering will stop for 10 or so seconds and then jump about 40 seconds of buffer zone.

Is the buffer staying ahead of the video though?

[SwitchFX]

Yes, it is. Server speed is a tad better than what Rick was using and it's tons better than what Cason was using for the site when he owned it. I'm still akin to the white premium template though.

video played great, and looked great, but my advice would be to perhaps make the simtube water mark a bit smaller.  It intrudes on the video.

[Brad]

The watermark only shows up when the video is embedded on another site - videos on Simtube.com are all watermark-free.

Both took no time to load for me, however I do think the second one was a little faster.

Same here. I am on firefox, and both videos ran smoothly. Congrats on getting SimTube; that is really cool!

Looks great to me! Very nice. No HD lag either like youtube!

Thanks to JaggyRoadFilms for the test footage.  Let me know how this looks and performs on your system:

Looks great, makes me want to buy a better pc to get the same experience in FSX!

Buffering took about 5 minutes here (DSL 3000) and the video display was absolutely smooth. Nice stuff.

[alex330]

Great video!

[Wayne2224]

Looks great on here! Its of course a lot better in the small one. But when you blow it up into the full screen kinda blurs out but what else do you expect when they go to full screen. Great job cant wait to see what people are going to do with this!!

[Jaggyroad Films]

Good video pick for testing out HD! If you need anything else, let me know. Cheers!

Anyone else taking longer than normal to buffer this video?

No trouble buffering here (the Netherlands). The frame rate doesn't seem to be too steady though, even if I rewind a bit and play it again.

Your machine is obviously stout enough, so maybe it's a browser thing?  What browser were you using, and does the stutter persist in other browsers?

The choppyness exists for me in Internet Explorer 7, both videos.
In Firefox 3.0.8 the movies are much smoother, and there's no stuttering. Also the buffer-bar moves at a much more realistic rate (IE's just 'fills up' all at once, this one fills up more gradually at about 1.5x playing speed)

I'm not sure if it's the movie btw but I'm getting a large amount of Javascript errors on this particular forum topic.

[Brad]

Ok, I figured that stutter was an IE thing so thanks for that confirmation.  Not sure what the js errors are about though - I am not getting any so I don't think that is related.
