Uploading an old video to a new site...

[mapsedge]

Well, I think I shall give up on YouTube as a video distribution channel.  Their encoders just can't compete.  Have a look at Jamie Raeburn - which I posted a while back - as it appears on Revver.  Much much better quality, even in full screen mode.

I'll keep YouTube as a place for personal videos, but anything I'd hope to use as a portfolio piece will go to Revver.  There's a longer post in this, but it will have to wait.

And just because I'm a bit of a whore when it comes to this sort of thing, if you should happen to have friends and/or acquaintances who might appreciate the video, please share the link.  Click the "menu" button and choose "Share".  It will provide you a link you can copy to an email.

I just saw something about some guy who was able to hack through YouTube's resolution and post higher-quality video than normal to it.

Guess I'll have to go find it again :)

You're amazing. Thank for your sharing your talents.

Interesting. Not bad!

Revver still gets my vote, though. I'm planning a more detailed post for later, but the extremely short version is that Revver offers revenue sharing based on video views, something YouTube, so far as I know, doesn't do.

Bill very, very nice. Thanks for the share. You are a Bard my friend.

The clarity is amazing! That was wonderful. Is there a Will/Bill CD yet?

There is one in the works. I'm hoping for a release this autumn, but the work is slow (http://billmorris.wordpress.com/2008/08/03/recording-progress/).

Believe it or not the audio used for this video is a scratch track and not the finished song for the CD: in the instrumental bit between the first and second verses, you can distinctly hear a floor squeak.
