Ok as some of you know, it takes a heck of a long time to render, and create the clips for the entire game. So my poll question is: Which would you prefer, just lots of highlight shots, or keep it the same with the entire game, and some highlights.

space is not an issue and niether is bandwith, BUT, time is an issue. Since it takes so much time to compress, and then upload the game to the server, i can spend that time creating clips, if only 100 people are gonna dowload the game. Now if it is a game that not alot of people get to say (NFLN game) i will upload it.

So, which would you prefer, just getting lots of clips, or few clips and the game.

Might want to throw up a poll after every game just in case....

As for me, I record all games that I am able and download those I cannot, so my vote would be the whole game some weeks.....

It's more useful to me to have another source for downloading the games.

Those of us who really want the game, can get the game off tenyardtorrents or something like that.

Those clips, though - that's where we come to you. :)

I personally would love the whole game, but I think you'd be better served just doing clips.

I'm thinking of recording the Sunday ticket shortcuts of our games and putting them up for everyone who doesn't want to download the entire enormous game. If you can give me tips on doing that, dk, please PM me.

By the way, is TYT working for you? It's not for me.

You are asking people to choose between what I consider to different things. First, someone that hasn't seen the game will want the whole game. (or someone that collects the games) The smaller clips are for people who want to re-watch the great moments of the game or for those who don't care to watch the whole game and just want to see the highlights. Each one caters to a different set of people.

I have the game DVRed and can watch the whole game again if I want, but I may just want to watch highlights again (which are all over the net right now with dc.com and nfl.com) If I don't get to see a game being in NY, I will want to download and watch the whole game.

What i am judging is the amount of people who want to download the game. If only lets say 10 people want to download the game, and 50 want just clips, then in most of the games i will just do clips, because of the time it takes to upload the games. Since they take so long, it's not worth uploading lets say a National Telvised game, so 10 people can download it. It's not because i don't like them (sometimes :p) it's just the time it takes makes it not worth it.

Get it?

Like i said games like the NFLN which most will miss, will be uploaded.
