I'm sure ohio_liberal could use help in hosting. I'm re-posting here so we're all aware. First posted in this thread:

1. Somebody grab it

before the site is overloaded.

[Guarionex]

3. I downloaded it...

got it...I'll post it where I can...

[Stephanie]

4. You done good, friend!

Thanks!

:yourock:

[Guarionex]

2. FINALLY!

after all day, finally a feed. Thanks a lot of guys....bless your hearts

[Liberty Belle]

5. How can we get a pop-up ad with a link to this video?

Like the Swiftboat guys did with their anti-Kerry ads.

Imagine if everyone who logged onto MSN or Yahoo could see this!

[KingoftheJungle]

6. I have a better idea

Instead of hosting the video as it is, I think you should create a .torrent tracker for the video and host it on bittorrent. That way everyone who downloads it will become a seeder and therefore reduce the bandwidth load on you personally.

[Stephanie]

7. Please translate

What was that? Seeder?

[KingoftheJungle]

24. short explanation

Basically anyone who begins downloading or has downloaded the file will automatically start hosting, or "seeding", the bits and pieces that he has to anyone else who wants to download the file. This makes it so that everyone, not just the original file hoster or people who have completed the whole file, are contributing bandwidth to spread the file.

[Stephanie]

26. Well if you think that's a good way to do it

I'm sure we can ask ohio_liberal for permission to post it there. Sounds like a good idea. Welcome to DU!

[ohio_liberal]

27. Absolutely....

Do whatever you want with it.

[genieroze]

14. I'm putting it Shareaza. eom

[AntiFascist]

8. Vely intelesting.....

the idea of modules (DLLs) that can be easily destroyed or overwritten seems very important.

[dzika]

9. I uploaded the file for a backup link

here:

[Stephanie]

10. Thank you!

How is the quality of the video? Did you view it?

[carolinalady]

18. took along time to buffer 20-30 mins? but it was ok

[FULL_METAL_HAT]

22. Mucho thanks for the mirror!! Excellent bandwidth! n/t

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

11. I just downloaded it and also sent it out to others! Thanks!

[Stephanie]

12. Can we get this out to sites that might host?

Truthout, Buzzflash, Take Back the Media - who else? Even if they just post the Cobb testimony - isn't that the most important?

[frictionlessO]

13. shoot wont play for my mac even with the WMV player

.
anychance someone can convert to .mpg format??

[rumpel]

15. Also on Mac started buffering and then it said "stopped"

server not responding.
I'll try again.
Maybe quicktime somewhere?

Thanks All

[dzika]

23. I was able to convert it to RealMedia

The link is here:
http://www.edwardsdavid.com/BushVideos/curtis121304.rm

My effort to convert it into MPEG resulted in too large of a file. I hope you have the Real player on your Mac.

[frictionlessO]

31. well it didnt work, I do have RM basic but no joy.... you though are

very kind person to try and in case you havent been told lately, you totally and completely rock... Ive been watching your posts since saturday morning and you have just been all over this!! Why arent you a reporter? We could use some like you ya know?

[dzika]

34. You are very kind.

It's been a very interesting few days.

I'll try for a lower quality MPG and post it if I can.

[dzika]

49. Here is an MPEG file

but it is about 60MB.
http://www.edwardsdavid.com/BushVideos/curtis121304-01.mpg

[frictionlessO]

51. YAYYYYY! It worked!! This is great! we have it multiple formats now

Thanks again! Youre an online superhero to me now!! BTW have you slept at all since the weekend? Starting to worry about you!!

[Sydnie]

48. Thank you so much for the rm file!

I must have a hijack on board because I kept getting a "second thoughts" browser download window with the wmv file. The rm file worked just fine for me though.

Thanks so much for converting it.

[Duer 157099]

16. thank you whoever put this up

I dl'd it but haven't seen it yet -- is it only the Curtis portion?

[ohio_liberal]

17. Just Curtis for right now

I'm working on the Prof Robbins video right now

[Habibi]

20. Btw, kewl avatar!

[rumpel]

19. Mac, again here. It did work. Is it audio only?

[in_cog_ni_to]

21. Thank You so much!

He came across as a credible witness. He worked for Exxon and NASA. I can't wait to get some feedback from the Committee. This should be a very interesting couple of days.

[ohio_liberal]

40. There are a few things I noticed about him

I wish I had the whole video so you all could judge for yourself. One, he was talking about a man who was involved in some kind of espionage and referred to him as a "little Chinese guy". It happens that there was an Asian-American man shooting video about 10 feet away from him. You should've seen the man's face when he said that. The second thing that is that he giggled and snickered while giving his testimony. I know that it might just be a nervous habit but it struck me as strange.

[in_cog_ni_to]

50. "little chinese guy"....OMG, not good!

I didn't notice any giggling on the video, but you're right, it was probably nervous laughter. Surely there was nothing funny about what he was saying?

[Alizaryn]

25. Well done

[garybeck]

28. i hope your server can handle this

i'm going to link from the solarbus website to this video. I hope it doesn't crash your server. i'll have the link up by 11pm tonight. if you want me to take the link down please email me at gary#solarbus.org

The most important issue we face as a nation is election reform. In the 2004 election, 80% of the votes nationwide were counted on machines made by two companies that support the Republican Party, many of which produced no paper trail that could be checked in a recount. There was also documented widespread voter suppression based on race and party affiliation. A bill was introduced in Congress to outlaw the paperless voting machines but the Republican Party prevented the bill from coming to a vote. While Democrats today are trying to figure out what they did wrong, and how to change the party for the future, the real issue is the voting machines and election reform. It is more important that the economy, the war, the environment, health care, taxes, and women's rights. If we do not take back our right to vote and have it counted properly, none of these other issues matter at all and nothing will change. For more information on this important subject see:

[Stephanie]

29. It's better if you can mirror

I don't think ohio_liberal has much bandwidth. You can copy.

[ohio_liberal]

30. So much video...

...so little bandwidth :cry:

Feel free to take it. What good is it if no one can see it?

[garybeck]

32. the problem is

it'll crash my server too.

I would think there's some kind of a service out there for hosting video that's free?

I did a google on "free video hosting" and some things came up. but I don't have the time to try all of them, read through all their rules about bandwidth, etc.

If anyone knows of a place to host video for cheap or free please let me know. We'll need this more than once I'd expect.

Otherwise it's just going to take some money. I can pay for more bandwidth on my site... I may need to provide a way for people to donate money and then we could make it happen.

in the meantime if anyone knows about free video hosting, please reply here.

thanks
Gary

[ohio_liberal]

35. Nothing good for free

It'll definitely cost

[garybeck]

37. i'll try to get some donations for this

i wish i could estimate how much bandwidth is needed. then i could figure out the cost.

[ohio_liberal]

41. It's hard to guess

It'll have mad hits the first couple of days then interest will die off.

[ohio_liberal]

53. garybeck...

How about a third party like audiovideoweb.com??

[frictionlessO]

33. Ohio_liberal thank you for doing us this awesome service!

42. Good evening Griffy, nice to see you on the board.

Yes, the word is being spread and the dishonest acts of others are coming into the light for all to see and understand.
