Codeproject Feature Request
-
You know what would be kool feature? A way for article writers to add streaming video to their articles. It would be neat to teach people by actually showing them. I know there would be bandwidth issues and storage space issues, but it would definitely move codeproject into the future of code learning and sharing.

That's what I was thinking of the other day. I figured I'd post something like that on youtube and have people link to it from the article, or possibly something off of my site. Didn't even cross my mind to have that coming directly from within CP though..

It would be kool if it was playing on the actual article page. Keeps it all in one place.
True, but you can always embed the video from youtube too.

No point in giving utube rights to the content. Plus codeproject could have contests on who makes the best instructional videos.

Saaaaaay, now that's a light bulb over the head!

It would be great to watch old videos of people coding and see how coding is advancing over the years. See how peoples styles change and new thought processes. Ive had alot of people email me from my tutorials asking me to show them by example, but alot of my running examples are too complicated to post on a webpage. You know?

We've done this once already and are happy to keep experimenting.

Speaking of which, is there a way to save images from the Vista window thumbnail API? Better yet, has anyone made a screen cap app that uses it? Because the apps out there right now get really slow with medium sized windows even on my Core 2 Duo 2.0ghz, whether Aero's on or off or I'm on XP or Vista. I say hold off on the videos idea until there's a decent screen cap app that we can all like. Just so that people don't jump to the conclusion that the idea sucks.

You still can achieve this by hosting your tutorial video provided you have the ownership of the content. There are video hosting websites like Google Video/Google YouTube where you can upload the video and then using the embed code in your article. However, please verify with submit (at) codeproject.com on whether you are allowed to use Video Tutorials in your articles and it is within the Terms of Service and End User Agreement of a CodeProject Membership. However, a quick read of Terms of Use (http://www.codeproject.com/info/TermsOfUse.aspx[^]) has the following lines of text
"If your material has been previously published, that publisher may have rights, and if so, you must obtain all consents before posting on The Code Project. If your material contains images, audio, or video, we require that you have obtained consents from all persons depicted, seen, or heard, the owners of any places depicted, and any other rights holders."From the CodeProject's perspective, I also foresee a little to more implementation difficulties at least with respect to video content since CP Team now has bring a DMCA Team to monitor content for any infringements. I did a quick research on DMCA and a quick note about it can be found here: [www.copyright.gov/legislation/dmca.pdf -](http://www.copyright.gov/legislation/dmca.pdf -) [[^](http://www.copyright.gov/legislation/dmca.pdf - "New Window")]Vasudevan Deepak Kumar Personal Homepage

YouTube is one ofthe expert at hosting video contents, why should CP invest into something outside their core competency if they can aggregate from someone who does it better? Besides, I am here for the articles, not pimply, stuttering, overly excited, squeaky-geeky videos. Sorry for the stereotypes, but I think a useful video takes a lot of work and dedication, and I simply don't want to see shoddy videos made "because you can add one". OTOH, It might give CP an(other) edge, and I am just to imparient for videos. (god! 4:30 of sitting still, just consuming!)

Yes! Video! Reading a few articles people post here often, I'd love to see some videos they'd make!
I see dead pixels Yes, even I am blogging now!

If you just want to throw in a PowerPoint, you could use slideshare.net[^] and paste the embed code in your article. Allows you to add audio narration too.

Personally videos I feel are alright introductions into completely new techniques / technologies for people. However I personally am not a great fan of them because it "requires" you to sit through the whole video. An article I can skim through and jump to the relevant sections. Perhaps it's just because there are a far greater number of people who can write good articles than those who can produce good videos. I'm not criticising the idea, just expressing my views. So far the only person I have found who can pull of "talking" to teach programming so to speak very well (and that I enjoy) is Scott Hanselman[^] But then again I haven't looked through that many videos...

And more ... (*) Acutely high demand of bandwidth and CPU usage for the server. (*) More bandwidth demands for the user. And if the user drags the slider here and there, the Media Player should be smart in adjusting the position too seamlessly.

LionsMouth.Insert();{ I took the plunge and did a series of videos on Mole v4. The link to them is on Mole v4 article. I have had outstanding response to this. I have 4 up there now and will do a few more when my cold is better. Cough, cough, sneeze. I plan to provide a link to a video for most of my future articles. I know that everyone in the Lounge reads the fine print on every article, but just in case the reader is from the video generation, I'll provide a short informative video on the articles key concepts. I thought about embedding it, but it takes up a good amount of vertical space and sometimes 2 seconds for the preview image to appear. Don't want to slow down viewers for any reason. }LionsMouth.Remove();Glad I got out of that alive, :cool:Cheers, KarlMy Blog | Mole's Home Page | Choosing WPF over ASP.NETJust a grain of sand on the worlds beaches.
