Video for WMM

[EMG]

I have been considering adding video to WMM, it seems like the next natural progression of the website. The question is, what would people like to see video of, and does anyone think it's a good idea? I would really love any feedback anyone has on this. Also, I'm adding a new links category for links to hypnosis video on youtube etc.

Personally I think it would be a great addition to the site. Video would allow hypnotist to create there own videos to go with their files which would probably work better than using something like VH since they would be specifically designed for each file.

Also it would add a new element two the gallery section if enabled.

What might work well also is to have it set up so a low rez version can be viewed on the site for free (like YouTube) which can easily be done with Flash. Then have a high rez version available for download for those with a membership.

i like GuyD's idea, but the video idea overall is a great idea.

Thirded, but the "view online for free" option does'nt require to be low res at all. Just preventing people without membership to download it would be enough.

If it comes to difficult to do (even with the higher bandwitch for free viewers), do the sema with the .mp3: New videos are membership. 120 days later = free.

I think videos to accompany files and increase their potency is a good idea. And success story videos/time-lapse journals of progress would also be of interest. However, I personally wouldn't like to think that this interesting, if kinky resource site is about to turn pornographic. But then, if it were to go that way, I don't have to look, do I? Just throwing in my two cents.

True it doesn’t have to be an extremely low rez but lowering the rez of the file a little bit would help it play better so it wouldn’t stop in the middle of a hypnosis session to buffer on the site. Also the beauty of doing it in Flash (like YouTube) is that it is much harder to download it, and even if you were two download the Flash video it won’t be as good as downloading the complete file with a membership.

Although 120 days later would work great as well.

Why not start with a video section that allows embedded videos from other sites? Then people can host them wherever, but you can aggregate them here. Once it gets going, then you can figure out the higher end members area.

Actually, I'm trying to avoid going porn. That isn't to say that there won't be any pornographic content in files that I do or that others do but that the intent would be to create files that would help make the hypnosis more effective. Still, there will probably also end up being videos of people who are hypnotized as well. I don't expect to add this too soon(I have other things that need done first) but I hope to have it ready befor years end. I also won't guarantee how often I'll make videos myself but I hope to do a few.

That's not a bad idea, I may try that while working on the other. Thanks for the suggestion.

If you're going to steam video, test these out:

[url=http://www.flumotion.net/cortado/]Cortado[/url]
It's a Java applet that handles Theora (video) and Vorbis (audio). GPL licensed.

[url=http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=Flash_video_Player]JW FLV Player[/url]
Flash-based. Does FLV video similar to YouTube/etc. Not free for commercial use, but the site says it's 15 euros for a license.

i'd start simple by adding some trance-inducing or aiding visuals to the current sound files for those of us whose mind wanders when we have nothing to look at.

stuff like you can add with virtual hypnotist.

[JackBurgle]

definitely some trance inducing videos would be great. especially embedded with subliminals and strong imagery

[Lobotaru]

My only experiences with hypnosis files are purely audio. Adding a video element would certainly add a new element of enjoyment for the subject to experience. I like the idea. :D

I am looking into it more, and expect something will come of it. Now, I can't say at what point it will happen, and I can't say when there will be a first video by EMG.
