Title: new idea( sorta)
Post by: saturn114 on September 26, 2002, 04:40:37 pm
well this  mornin i  came with a idea
and this idea maybe already in action
except on thing this is gona be free
i came up with the  idea that all  freespace 2  users  with a  tv card  should  start  recording tv shows of the scifi genre
heres the  orgianl post and idea
from thread:
http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,10312.0.html
posted:
what would be cool is that some one with a tv capture card could record some shows on their computer
eg : star trek stargate andromeda x file s and we could make a huge data base of shows all in divx format avi's or mpeg and icould up load them to my server we would adverstise them and
heh we would have people enjoying the joy of scifi and other shows if we can acomplish it
i got plenty server space now and t would pretty awesome idea i f we could get this together and have people download our art ,pof files and mpegs

we could either stream the videos with a real media player or also people to download them in mpeg or divx format
if we get this off the ground i predict that this will amazing popular just you watch and see
well   with you ideas and support this will defintely will be huge success
heh in fact it will be amazing
i think once this whole data base thing in is place and when people or able  to  watch shows  through streaming or  dowload
that this will  very popular  infact imenesly popular so with you help ideas comments help and other wise this could be a great success bar none with your input so pitch in
help me  find guys with tv tuners or
you guys could tape them send the  tape to  me and i could put it on my comp and encode  but then heh it wouldnt be  digital would it?

so what you think?
will this be possible or just another  dumb idea?

*hums and looks at the gas grill*

Anyway saturn114, how old are you?

-Why do you say you're a network admin without grammar skills?
-Why do you lie that you work at PXO?
-Why must you want to give us server space...which is probably from Geocities.
-Where is this "server" anyway?

Average Div-X file-size: 500mb, 200mb or 30mb
Saturn's Disk-space: 200mb
Estimated bandwidth required: 200Gb+
Available bandwidth: 20Gb
Ability of server to stream files: None

Server = Too small

Seen as everyone else seems to be somewhat lacking in the flaming department, I'll go against all my ethics and make the thread useful.

Exactly what an0n said. Redistributing this kind of media without consent from the producers is illegal, and you all know we cannot and will not tolerate talks about illegal operations around here. It is exactly the same thing as discussing warez, and you know our policy on that.

And please don't push it.

Actually... AFAIK, the DVD-Rip, DivX movies are illegal, but I don't believe that the ~200Mb 45 minute episodes are. Heck, people record those off their TV's on to VCR all the time, and that ain't illegal. I think where they make the distinction is a thing called "broadcast-quality", where a copy could be reused in a professional setting with no noticable difference in quality from the original. And since the 200Mb 45 minute TV episodes are of noticeably lower quality than the original broadcast, I doubt they're illegal.

But that is just a clarification and is completely beside the point. This will not be something that we will allow to be arranged using HLP, plain and simple.
