Under the Weapon Skills section maybe there can be some animated .gifs showing each one? Kind of like how we have screenshots of the gear under the item listings. Just a thought.

I was told a while back we can include YouTube vids, though I'm not sure where to put them.

Wouldn't that take up more bandwidth? Dunno, what I know about that stuff fits on a floppy disk.

That would take up Youtube's bandwidth.

Gonna take a look at our ws pages and see if there's an easy way to implement it.

Those or just two of my vids (Not of ws) to test and see what it would look like if they were added to the description.

So in essence there would be like 10 videos per page. Not sure how clutered it would look.

Being a FFXI video maniac I would like to add some kinds of video media to our pages if it fit but it's not just up to me so I dunno really.

watch the second video though Smiley: smile

Thats why I was thinking of animated .gifs. It could be done like avatars. Short, sweet, and simple.

IN: It looks good but I'm surprised it's legal.

Why wouldnt it be? Youtube gives you the full link to embed the video on your own site..

Problem with GIF files is you can't start and stop whenever you like. They just repeat.

I'm not a copyright expert, I leave that to Elderon. It just doesn't seem it would be legal for Allakhazam.com to make money off of YouTube.com without some sort of pay.

Like I said though, I'm no expert. In fact I don't know jack about it.

If the videos were available to all users, premium or not, then it would be easy to argue that they were not making money off of the videos.

But like you, I am not an expert... just pontificating.

I was thinking of individual ones for each WS. That would kind of be the point.

Yeah that could be possible.

At the same time we could just have YT videos to only show when you click an individual WS instead of all videos on the long list.

Ok, lets see what you've got. Or do we need to wait for you to make some 7 second vids?

You know I am crazy about making FFXI vids and would be more than happy to be a part of this but there are other things I'm involved w/ on the site atm that are more needed, example AU stuffs.

That will keep me busy for awhile. But someday it's definitely something we can look at.
