/ocvic/ - a bold new concept figamin ## Board owner Apr 2 2024 (Tue) 15:58:58 No.1

/ocvid/ is going to be different from every other board on here - in that it's focused purely around original longform content (original concept was video reviews) from our userbase. The imageboard format may encourage more organic discussion, but we'll have to see.
>Rules
Every /ocvid/ thread must have:
>OP being a thumbnail or webm of the video
>Short description of the video
It would also be nice to have a higher quality version of the full video linked on an alternative platform (youtube, odysee or bitchute) come to mind, since I don't have a ton of disk space to give for every video. However, you can get a lot done with a simple webm preview. Here's one I made of one of my older youtube videos
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSmBq7FGUb4 using ffmpeg to lower the resolution, bitrate and only having the first five minutes.
Replies to the initial post should be on topic.
I hope this board turns out to work well!

Changed max file size to 50mb. You can probably fit at least a half hour of SD content provided the bitrate is low. You will probably need to use ffmpeg to get a small enough video - see https://gist.github.com/tulanght/cf27f7dbfb57ef5f5c39

Do videos have to be reviews or can the format/subject matter deviate from this?

The original concept was for reviews, but really any longform content would work, provided it abides by site rules.

Oh, the video has to be the review? On first read I thought it was just posting videos and writing reviews about them.

I mean you can do that for posts by other people... But what I meant was posting videos you yourself made, as what you're talking about would be more appropriate for other boards on here. Would it be worth changing the board title to something like "/ovid/ - original videos"?

I think it would be interesting to see what kind of things people put up, Id be happy to see any OC videos :D

/vrev/ has been changed to /ocvid/ to reflect the fact that this board isn't purely focused on reviews. Note that OC dosen't mean it has to be about wapchan - just that it was made by someone who uses the site.
