RayVer Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 HookahStop.com is now online! Be aware this is phase1 of our Soft Launch. The contest is still active... go to www.hookahstop.com for all the details!Why is there only 1 video review up?There is only 1 video review up because we are testing how the site handles streaming videos to viewers. Right now the current video is about 80mb in size. If this works well for everyone we will begin uploading videos with this format, otherwise it will be changed. Each video has to be runned through 2 encoding engines and then uploaded therefor each video takes about 1 hour. I didn't want to get all these videos up and then find out they were not working for everyone.Feedback Feedback Feedback!As the site is in phase 1 of the soft launch we need as much feedback as possible. PM me with any problems you may encounter or use the contact form on the website. Also we are taking suggestions for the site.Let us know what you think so farLet us know what you think so far... positive or negative! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomas Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Looks damn nice haha. One problem though, I was registering a new account on my yahoo email and I never recieved an email for verification. So then I registered a different one on my gmail account and that worked. Will I banned from the contest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geiseric Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Its a little hard on the eyes, a little too web 2.0, but none the less fairly well designed. Am I correct in my understanding that you are hosting the video streams yourself? You bandwidth costs have got to be colossal.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayVer Posted February 2, 2008 Author Share Posted February 2, 2008 yup I got a few comments about that...for the majority it seems to work well.I might be decreasing video size by 20% and increasing quality a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoopy1966 Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 The video plays great on both my Windows and Linux Computer. A little choppy on my Linux computer. Could be that I am having problems with HF right now, and I am trying to post as I watch. Hopefully my browser does not crash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
