Now you can see why I insist on making videos of levels that have already been recorded before and could be easily reused (well, one of the reasons, the other is the lack of verification that it is pure vanilla they are playing on). I put all videos under an "official quakewikia" title to state it is specifically for here, content made purely for the wikia instead of taking from some other source. Any in-game photos are also by me, mainly due to my covers either being heavily beat up or non-existent (a lot of the games I get come with just the cd and no case, normally it doesn't matter as the case would do nothing but collect dust anyway).

Speaking of videos, you should notice I have yet to upload my Mirrored Rooms video. I tell you, Dailymotion is another thing that tends to hate me. It would be so easy to switch to Youtube, but then I would have a slightly degraded quality of the video and a lack of certain key features. The finished product is nice (if viewed from the wikia, for some reason the video itself on the site does not want to stay in its frame). It is just a pain to encode in 720p for some reason (sometimes 240p as well, though to a lesser extent). So, I endure a lot more for a format that is less than the best (meaning I do it for compatibility for those who can only afford less) on a site that is less than stable for the viewer. Speaking of compatibility, apparently Dailymotion is one of the rare sites that can be viewable in most counties, with Youtube and other sites with a similar encoding format being banned in certain places.

I think the solution is just to wait a couple days and hope for the best. I have tried reuploading it about 5-6 times in the last day, giving it a few hours between each try. I remember having this issue before, it just sort of works out eventually. It just is frustrating when it occurs as it basically is the thing stopping me from officially completing a page and starting another (I could do more pages, but then I would most likely forget I didn't put the video up and it would never get done).

Also speaking of videos, I really need to get on my commentary based series again. I took a bit of a hiatus due to an illness that lasted for a lot longer than it should. Even when I felt like I was getting healthier, I had people saying that I still sounded sick which made me not desire giving commentary. Now that I am finally healthy and can record, I should do some. For some reason I am just getting a bit lazy in that avenue though due to wanting to focus on Quake levels after not wanting to really write them in months. Of course, when I decide to start doing a bunch of levels I get hung up on slow encoding which eventually results in my drive going away.
