About Jones Cup videos

(Update) 2008 Jones Cup videos at Veoh.com channel

Some people requested it so I tried to come up with a solution to accommodate fans' need and at the same time save my time.

Since Youtube no longer allow users to upload any video longer than 10 minutes or larger than 1024MB, so I turn to Veoh.com which allows unlimited file size. That way, I don't need to cut the videos of one single game into 10 parts before uploading and fans get to view the videos online.

However, on Veoh.com, you can only view videos for 20 minutes on the web. Here's Veoh.com's explanation on this issue:

Users will be able to view videos shorter than 20 minutes on Veoh.com in their entirety. Videos longer than 20 minutes will require VeohTV/Veoh Player to watch in full-length. PC users can simply click "Watch on VeohTV" and the playback will immediately begin, or download the video to VeohTV. On the Mac, videos longer than 20 minutes will require the users to download the videos and watch later.

I'm in the process of uploading the first video -- first half of Taiwan NT vs. Australia U-19 -- as a test. Hopefully everything will be OK. If it doesn't work well, I will have to look for another free -- and good -- service.

(update: computer crashed during uploading...need to do it all over again...)
