Question Regarding Posting Photobucket Videos

Semisane · 05-05-2010, 08:05 PM

Here's the question. If you post a video using Photobucket, when viewers click on the video are they able to see only that video, or can they view other material in your other albums?

I think if we get to your account we can see it all. What kind of videos is it that you don't want us to see???

Well nothing pornographic or embarrassing, that's for sure.

Mostly all of the pictures I've posted on the forum over the years - targets and guns and such. I'm not a Photobucket whiz, but it seems there must be some sort of privacy setting that would allow you to post a link without opening up all of your material.

I've just started fooling with videos on Photobucket by putting one test video there. I'm trying to figure out how to post just the video the way you can with still pictures.

Semi. dont bother with photobucket and videos, it sucks badly. Make a user name on youtube and the quality will be much better and if you learn, you can edit and do things with the videos. But make a youtube account, so much better.

Although i have never posted a video on Photobucket i do use it for pics and yes you can make it so people can just see that pic.

You make the "album private" but you can still post a link to just what you want to share.

I prefer Youtube for videos also, its easy and it will handle the conversion from whatever format you upload. I also like using Keepvid to "grab" Youtube videos. I can even grab the original upload if i want the full quality original video.

At the top of this page you will see a "keep it" button (square box), drag it to your browser's toolbar. Anytime you are on Youtube just click the "keep it" button you made and it will offer you any videos it finds on that page. Rename the file and download it. Sometimes It defaults to video.xxx so make sure you rename them each time.

If you need a free video playback program, look for VLC player 1.0.5, It will play almost any file type. Its free, legal and free of spyware. Choose custom install and remove the default file associations.

I know this is more info than requested but it makes things much easier and its fun.
