@terrybrock - Steemit
What are the best settings for uploading videos? I am using a Windows 7 64-bit computer. I uploaded a few videogame play videos in .mp4 format to Dtube.video (https://dtube.video/c/funforme).
One of the videos has audio but no video. The other shows the first 3 seconds of a video slightly over a minute long, and stops. I have learned that Google Chrome seems to work best when trying to upload videos. Could really use some help on this. If there is such a thing as a program or app to upload videos to Dtube, I would LOVE to know about it.
Thank you for stopping by funforme. I am not an expert in the settings, but keep it small is a good rule for video creation. I'd go no higher than 720p as it can slow down a lot of systems. I'd also check by loading similar video on YouTube and notice what works and what comes through smoothly.
I don't know why your audio wouldn't work. It might be Google Chrome. I find that works best in most situations. Let us know how it works out for you.
I believe that the copyrights frauds needs to be actioned somehow quicker.
Would be nice to have report ability/ downvote with reason maybe? i dont know what do you think guys is potential solution?
You raise an important issue. Copyrights can be tough but keep in mind this is international, not US. What works in one country might not in others. If you're talking about you having a copyright on your material, don't expect a lot of privacy when you go online. Some countries don't recognize copyrights from other countries so it is something you have to work around.
I've found that for business videos (the world where I live) it is best to assume your content will be copied and design it accordingly.
Thank you for your comment. Nice to have you stop by.
Loving the site so far, hope the buffering gets fixed soon
Yes, I've had problems with the buffering from time to time. I think it is part of the newness of the channel. I remember YouTube had a lot of problems when it was initially started.
I'm all for a decentralized, unfiltered, uncensored version of YouTube, and it would be great, if I could only sign in and use it. However I keep getting the private posting key is wrong message, even though I just used it to log onto steemit. I also tried using different browsers and clearing the cache, with no success.
Found this and it has worked for me: https://steemit.com/steemit-guides/@rgeddes/getting-your-posting-key---made-easy
Yes, there has to be an alternative to YouTube. I don't need a mummy or a daddy deciding, what I'm allowed to watch. I'm against censorship as far as possible.
I agree to your suggestions, Terry. Adding a few more.
Give users the ability to filter content themselves for their personal use, f.e. I'm not interested in sports. I would like to be able to hide such videos on the main page.
Search filters like YouTube
Categories would be nice too, like History, Documentation, News, Nature, Music and so on.
Playlists
Better buffering ... I don't have the strongest computer, but I'm able to watch HD videos on YouTube without lagging.
Accessibility. For viewers it is too difficult to log into DTube: first create a Steemit account, find your private key, then log into DTube. There always will be more viewers than content providers, so make it easy for them to subscribe, follow or comment.
Anyhow, the concept of DTube is promising.
Thank you for making those points, andreab. I have to agree with you on all the points you made.
Having a filter would be great. Right now they have very few videos so it is not a big deal. However, as the platform grows in popularity and use it will quickly become overloaded. Filters would be great.
BTW, I like all of those categories you listed. I don't follow sports myself. Glad that those who like it can. Filters would make a lot of sense. It would be particularly good to have subdivisions for various languages and countries.
And yes, it is rather complicated to initially get up and running. This is true with cryptocurrencies in many areas. That creates wonderful opportunities for those who will provide solutions to make on-boarding much easier.
Thank you for your comments and very insightful thoughts. Please come back and visit again. Hope you have a great day.
Thank you, Terry ... I'm more a reader, viewer and commentator than creator, so I didn't use Steemit much myself, but I like the concept. Creation of good content should be rewarded and not become a rip off for corporations. Sick and tired of this greed everywhere, not to mention censorship.
Have a great day too, cu around

Дякую ваня Я радий, що вам сподобалося. Будь ласка, зупиніться знову коли-небудь.
Useful publication
Thank you very much, achraf2000. Nice of you to stop by.
Thank you, archraf2000. I'm enjoying this DTube thing a lot. I look forward to using it for viewing and learning as well as producing more content. Nice to have you visit us here.
Thanks Terry, however it's impossible to watch your video. The streaming is terrible and I can't set the resolution to something lower so that the speed is bearable. I have no problems with YouTube. I love the concept of DTube, but a lot of work still has to be done on the frontend. This confirms all the exsisting problems I have had with DTube. What can I set to get DTube working properly?
Sorry you're having problems with this, lucky.digger. I don't know what the problem would be because many others are getting the stream just fine. I'm not a technician so I don't know what is wrong technically. Perhaps you might ask about it with Adrian himself. He might be accessible on Steem Chat. Keep us posted how it work. Once you get it working, I'm sure you're going to enjoy using DTube.
Thank you!
Nice Post @terrybrock
Thank you very much, jijhum. Glad you liked it.
Follow me @nijhum and vote together we can succeed
Great Intro, excellent video @terrybrock
Thank you, futbol. I appreciate your kind words.
Dtube is kinda youtube with more potential of payouts for the content creators in it
That is a very good way to put it, hamet123. I hadn't expressed it like that but I think you express it very succinctly and properly. Thank you for your comment and for stopping by to visit.
Can you tell when DTube video player will be able to be embedded in steemit post? So we don't have to leave steemit to watch the video :) thanks and tip!
I don't know when it will be available, and I have to say it through me off when I was putting my video up today. I was thinking there would be some way to embed the HTML code, like we do with YouTube videos. Instead, it is just a link.
Perhaps that will be added in the future. Seems like a logic addition. Thank you for mentioning it, cardboard and thank you for the tip!
Hi @terrybrock! @cardboard is sending you 0.12 SBD tip and @tipU upvote :)
@tipU quick guide | How to check your pending payouts.
and another one, hope you'll forgive me :) tip! hide
oh, I'm just now seeing a tip coming from you. WOW! Thank you. I haven't experienced that before from tipu but am most glad to get it. Thank you!
That's all right. Keep 'em coming, cardboard.
I wish to see how many views on each video...
I agree. That would be nice to see, like we have it over in YouTube. I'm sure that Adrian will be adding more features, starting with a close examination of the good features in the YouTube viewing experience. Thank you for stopping by to visit.
very nice idea! decentralization could replace nearly every existing centralized service! @terrybrock
I think you're right, phra. Decentralization works so much better in so many areas. Thank you for your kind words.
Dtube > youtube
Now THAT is a great way to phrase it. That greater than sign ">" is pretty accurate in its description. Thank you for sharing that., doitvoluntarily. (Love that moniker!!!) I like the way Leonard Reed, the founder of the Foundation for Economic Education put it, "Anything that's peaceful." and yes. Dtube is > youtube for its freedom.
also clicking the video to pause and play and of course embed.
upvoted and followed you if you like salaheldeen0 please follow me...
please don't make those awful comment, stop bothering people. that's not gonna get you upvotes at all in fact you will get flags till your reputation hit zero. if you keep doing this no one will follow you.
I hope it would be a good competitor to Youtube
Saludos Terry. See you at Anarchapulco.
Thank you, josepimpo. I'll look forward to seeing you there. We'll have a great time!
I've created a subreddit for dtube, does someone want to build this up with me? I have experience with this but won't do it alone. I already asked on the steemit subreddit and on steemit itself but nobody responsed so far. Feel free to write me a PM @ reddit /u/polytox_
Thank you for posting this, cheech. I haven't used reddit. However, perhaps someone else would be able to help. I'm interested so keep me posted as it develops. Thank you for stopping by. I appreciate your comments.
So nice to see more people coming on steemit and dtube unfortunately DTube isn't ready for a big mass of audience
You are right free999enigma. They are in the early stages. I look at them as a bit farther along than YouTube was back in 2006. Great start and I look forward to more good in the future.
Excelent job!
The biggest thing I miss and can't wait to have on dTube is the suggested video feed. You know, to keep me engaged in content I'm already showing interest in.
Will be interesting to start testing the back end and see how user friendly it is to load and what tools are offered to tweak video online @terrybrock Great to see video on blockchain.
Thank you, Joan. Yes, having video on blockchain holds a lot of opportunities. I look forward to seeing what will happen in the future with it. Thank you for your comments.
Few bumps in the blockchain, it has been a fun ride so far and learning. Yes opportunities are unbelievable and opening new doors for many @terrybrock
That's a very good explanation of the dtube platform, Sir. Liked the way you made an interactive video to put your points forward. I will start following you on Steemit.
Thank you, dreamzchm. Yes, Adrian has done a good job with it and I like the opportunities available. Thank you for the follow and I'll look forward to hearing from you in the future.
The buffering makes this video unwatchable
I know what you mean. I had trouble for a few times with the buffering. It seems to have been resolved for me now. This is new technology and I guess they'll have some issues to work through. When it works, this is great! You will love it when you see it.
Will we get video suggestions on the right like YouTube ?
I haven't seen that yet. It will be up to the creator, Adrian, if that is a feature. Thank you for asking.
Nice graphic. Thank you for sharing it, yagoub.
You'r Welcome brother😉
Dtube is asking me to log in with 'posting key' but when I try, its giving me 'error private posting key is wrong' but it directly copied from my page. Not sure how to proceed? Any help is appreciated!
That seems strange. I haven't heard of any other complaints about 'posting key' but it could be happening with others. Check on Steem Chat with a post to Adrian (the creator). Hope you get it working as it is pretty cool. Hope you can get access soon.
Thanks on your reply @terrybrock. I'll keep trying!
Have you gone into your wallet? Just a reminder that your password for https://steemit.com is different than your private key for DTube.
I used my steemit posting key..is that wrong? Thanks @untrust!
Hey @scalerman I will answer your question. First I have a question for you. Is there a notification for seeing comment replies? I had to dig through my account to find your reply. I was just doing that because I'm new to this platform. I just learned about DTube two days ago from a YouTube video. If you know of any, the best way to tell me is either text me at (916) 532-8836 or send me an email at [email protected]
Now for your question about logging into DTube. Are you going to your wallet? From there you want to click Permissions between Balances and Passwords. That should bring you to Posting, Active, Owner, Memo. At Posting, click Show Private Key. That should change your key. Hopefully that will work for you.
Thanks @untrust! I'll try that. They don't really notify you on replies..so I check mine fairly often by clicking on replies on my page. Thats how I just saw your comment! The newest replies will be first..and welcome to steemit! :)
-Excellent post thanks for sharing
I am a new steemians, maybe i should study first with you, regards know me

I followed and upvoted.Would you like to follow and upvote me.
Good video :)
Thank you, captain85.
Hi
Curation rewards managment inside the Dtube platform is connected with the main steem wallet ?
I don't know. I'd check with the author of DTube and find out. Try Steemchat to see if you can find out. There is a section for DTube.
Dude, you're so slick on the screen capture software - is that quicktime? Just impressed by the moving writing, haha!
I'd like to post some radio style videos on Dtube - and am wondering if, in your experience, that'll be accepted - you know, just audio with a slide as the visual. I hope people think that's OK, as my kind of content doesn't really need a video and so making the visuals seems to me to slow production down unnecessarily...
Anyway, great work, thanks for this!
Thank you very much for your kind words, kerrymccarpet. No, I'm not using Quicktime, but a new product call Ecamm Live for Facebook Live. I like the functionality of it and the ability to use an image and show the screen.
Regarding doing videos without video but only audios with a slide. I think there is a place for that in some applications. I don't know exactly what you do, but I know that there are many videos that are successful using only a voice-over with animation.
The best way to find out what will work is to experiment. Hey, you're on Steemit and you can find out quickly. Offer something and see how many upvotes you get. That is a good way to quantify if they really like something.
Keep us posted on how it develops. I really appreciate you stopping by and look forward to future comments.
i really belive youtube was like a home when you had freedom in the past..now the new owner have different point of view..and kick out long time users who put there work and time inside that ''house ''
It's been the same owner (Google) for all but the first year (Feb 2005-Nov 2006).
You are right, brandongiesing. Google was very wise to purchase it for the $1.8 billion back then. It is now a verb and used regularly. Nice to have something also like DTube that can fill other needs.
Thank you for your comment and stopping by.
You are echoing the feeling of man, floating. As organizations grow, they change. YouTube is changing, as it has been since its inception. That creates a wonderful new opportunity for new developments like DTube to fill the gap. I'm very impressed and look forward to more development with it. Thank you for your comments and for stopping by.
I used the simple one that comes with ECamm Live. It created a simple MP4 and I edited that one in CMac then uploaded it. Not really complicated but it works.
