Ourmedia problems (was Re: [videoblogging] Re: Bandwidth

2006-02-14 Thread davecircumnavigator
I uploaded to Ourmedia and am pretty sure my files ended up on 
Internet Archive.  I think the Internet Archive is a wonderful idea 
and service and I commend the people behind it. I find it a little 
slow when downloading either because they have a small pipe, 
overloaded servers or just a whole bunch of concurrent users during 
peak hours.

  It looks like Ourmedia has it's share of problems as well. Just 
tried
  to upload a 6 meg video both with their site and with their upload
  tool and it failed. The upload tool just plain crapped out and
  crashed. Numerous times. According to their forums, looks like 
others
  are having multiple problems there as well.
 
 I've been using Ourmedia for big audio files (17mb -45mb).  Just  
 recently (last weekend), I spent 12 frustrating hours trying to get 
a  
 17mb .m4a (AAC encode) file to work on my video-podcast.  (see 
http:// 
 jumplive.blogspot.com).  I left a post on Ourmedia forums:

 Turns out, their server is not returning MIME type audio/mpeg 
for  
 these files..just text! (it was returning audio/mpeg as of Jan  
 17).  As a result, Feedburner couldn't create an enclosure for 
these  
 audio files.
 
 The older audio files (from Jan 17) weren't being returned 
as audio/ 
 mpeg either.  I finally had to re-upload them to my own server,   
 change the MIME settings.  It's back fine now,  showing up on my  
 iTunes video-podcast (Use Feedburner/Troubleshootize/Podmedic to  
 confirm that enclosures are being created).
 
 You have to use Ourmedia Publisher (separate program) for files  
 10mb or larger..otherwise your files won't load.  This program is  
 kinda quirky on my Powerbook

  Very few things come for free. Think I am going to use my own host
  then start paying for the extra bandwidth if/when that time comes.
