The ultimate Footbag video portal

Faco · Post by **Faco** » 23 May 2006 10:59

Hello fellow players! I have a very special announcement to make.

We have finally finished our Footbag portal, where you can find just about anything Footbag-related. The portal is not translated yet, but we are working on it. So you can soon expect an English version too.

So, what is it all about, you ask? Well my history with Footbag begins with watching one of the Czech videos (Telocvicna 4) and since then, I have seen and downloaded most of the Footbag videos worth watching. So I believe that progress [in Footbag] is very video-related. And knowing how hard it is to find all the videos, I always dreamt of an ultimate Footbag website with ALL of the videos in ONE place.

So there you have it...we had a LOT of problems with the website, but now it is finally working (almost) as it should. I have uploaded basicly every single one of the good Footbag videos. Having so many, I had to divide them into groups. So since you will be reading our page in Slovenian language, here is where you must go:

1. "Galerija filmov" means "Video gallery"
2. "Tekmovanja" means "Events/Competitions"
3. "Posnetki z ulice" means "Street footage"
4. "Posamezni triki" means "Single tricks videos"
5. "Zavezniki video" means "Footage from our members"

You are free to download any video you desire. You do not have to register/login. This is a totaly free portal, designed to help expand Footbag in Slovenia (and hopefuly elsewhere).

Just two more things to mention:

1. We have a great amount of space on our server, so we will be adding videos all the time. But please, you must understand that even 160GB of space CAN get full. If you have a good video, with good players, you can send it to zavezniki@gmail.com (PM me before, please!), but we won't upload every one. We would like to, but we just can't.

Regarding the server, it is a bit slow. Optimal transfer rate is around 30kb/s, but can easily drop to 4kb/s if many people are downloading. So please, download only what you need (or at least not everything at once).

2. Regarding the video rights...I know what trouble goes into making a good video. So if anyone wants to, we can add a comment next to the video, saying who made it and their website.
It would be nice if all of the videos could stay online, but if someone wants to, we can remove his/hers video...

Well...what more to say? Oh yes, we have a forum, with "English only" section, where you can talk about stuff on our site.

Whops, almost forgot...the website can be found at http://www.zavezniki.com

P.S
This would make a good sticky, no?

Thanks a lot

that's a sweet idea. The only problem I had was I couldn't watch any videos because they wouldn't download.

The .wmv videos just open, they don't ask you anything (must fix that). Other files (.avi, .mpg, .mpeg...)work fine.

If you open a .wmv video, just wait till it's done (try pressing play while waiting). And when it's finished, just press File>Save As.

Download time is like super slow. 1 hour for 10 mbs .. Its like the old .org
You should try to get more mirrors to each video.
Huge props anyway!

+ You should upload the Christmas calendar.

Good work!!!!

[If you need some calendar vids-I have quite a few- but not all]

Faco · Post by **Faco** » 28 May 2006 12:49

Thank you all for the props.

We were promised to get a better connection soon, so the transfer rate will be normal. Be patient

I missed the whole calendar video thing. Someone fill me in (PM).

Has anyone else not been able to download anything from this site because it is too slow?

james_dean · Post by **james_dean** » 01 Jun 2006 18:20

I have had no problems. It's slower than most downloads but not a problem to me. Thx for the resource faco

I've used it a lot the last few days (I lost all my footbag vids in a hard drive mishap

)

Also: I had been looking for the Kona Beach series and saw ep 3 on there... do you have/know where I can get the first two?
