I'm trying to post a pool video to Youtube, but it's too long and was rejected. I recall seeing a site that was like youtube, but just for pool. Someone posted about it here, but I couldn't find it in a search. Anyone have any suggestions?
 
Try Google Video. Last I looked they had bigger file limits.

Veoh has huge limits but people have to down load the plug in.

I think if it is within reason size wise Mike might put it on AZBtv you may PM him.

That'd be my site -- http://www.poolvids.com. 100MB limit right now. .mov files are not supported, but most others are. Thanks in advance for your contribution!

100MB is the same as YouTube.

Looks like Google Spidey.

Yup, according to the FAQ there is no size limit. But one post did say if you get over 3 GB there are problems. LOL

Ah, was not aware. Perhaps I should bump my limit. What's your file size, SpiderWebComm?

As JCIN notes, AZBTV is definitely an avenue as well. I think it would be better if folks would upload to pool-specific sites rather than YouTube or Google.
 
It's 45MB, but 20 mins long. The rejected message was "video too long, rejected." I tried video.aol.com, and their time limit is 10 mins.

Tonmo-- I'll U/L to your site as long as you'll accept it.

I'll try google video as well, thanks JCIN.

Thanks guys.

Yeah, I should restate:

I think it would be best if folks would upload to pool-specific sites first. Didn't mean to suggest that people shouldn't use Google or YouTube as well.
 
Great video! That cat is hysterical. He definitely sharked you toward the end. Railbird quarterbacking, I liked the 7 in the side rather than going for the bridge. But I'll come back and suggest that once I pull together a run of 39 myself :)

HAHAHAHAHA OMG I almost shit myself laughing so hard when that cat came up on table. He just so happens to paw at the ball you don't want him to hit!! HAHAHA:p. Nice shooting by the way, you seem pretty solid.

Dave...Let me first say, congratulations on a very nice run! 39 is a great start on getting consistent with 14.1...BUT... Oh man, why does there always have to be a BUT???:rolleyes: Because we are all struggling with trying to improve on our best, regardless of what that is...and to most of here, that is a constant, because of our true love for the sport.

Now...on to the critical review (you knew that was coming, right? :D). The video is difficult to watch, for an expert 14.1 player. You are constantly making small cueing and positional errors (i.e.: shorting yourself or overrunning position, by a few inches, to a few feet)...it begins with your second shot in the first rack, and continues all the way through the run, to your miss on ball #40. Keep in mind, that these comments are just my opinion...and I make them because I want to see you make the jump from a 20-30 ball runner, to an 80-100 ball runner...and you CAN do that, with some small adjustments, imo!

How can you improve? #1...get your process consistent. It is quite inconsistent now. #2...put in a one second pause, at the CB, BEFORE your commitment stroke...I promise you that it will make a world of difference. #3...develop an eye pattern. It's pretty obvious to me, watching you here, that you don't have one...or at least a consistent one! The best way to achieve these changes?...find a qualified SPF instructor, and then practice the right stuff, the right way...for about a month! Voila! You'll be a changed 14.1 player! AFTER you do this...go take straight pool lessons from somebody like Blackjack, or John Schmidt! :D

Best wishes...

Won't speak for SWC, but that advice helped me. I recently read about SPF but I can see by your observations on this video that I'm not doing it right. Couldn't see anything wrong when I first viewed it but now when I watch it I see your points. Still, if I could run that high (or even half that, I'm sorry to say) I'd be a pretty satisfied player.

SWC did mention in his video comments that his high run is 62.

In another thread, you wrote the following:
EYE PATTERN MOVEMENT is something that must be learned. When the eyes flit back and forth rapidly betwee the CB and OB (for some players 20+ times in rapid succession), the eyes cannot take in enough visual information for the brain to process, and provide feedback. You must focus on each object you need information on (CB & OB) long enough (2 second rule) for the brain to process and provide feedback, in the form of a muscle command. REM and overkill just confuses the brain.​

Despite your explanation above, I'm still a little fuzzy on what your definition of an "eye pattern" is and what constitutes a good eye pattern.
 
Allen...That seems like a pretty clear definition to me. I've offered before, to work with you in Denver. The offer is still open!:D One lesson, and you're GUARANTEED to at least understand what's right for you, and how to develop it to your benefit!

Thanks for the critique, as i'm not that great of a 14.1 player. Personally, I think it's the hardest game without a doubt. I beat the 9-ball ghost to medium races often enough to feel real solid, although I'm not betting it (4.5" 9' table).

This is my first pool video where I'm trying to run a number... it was my 4th attempt. The first 3 tries I ran to the breakshot and didn't have a shot or made it into the 2nd rack and didn't have a shot after the breakshot.

I'm confident I'll run over 50 on video before too long (just because I'm into recording myself-- it's pretty interesting). The number one thing I didn't like about watching myself was my back elbow is crooked, which isn't good. I see a lot of things I never noticed before.

I'm not sure if I agree that I was constantly out of position. I actually felt quite solid last night. It's probably more accurate to say I'm shooting the wrong balls in the wrong order. I shot the balls I intended to the majority of the time... the very beginning of the first rack and when I bumped my breakshot on the first rack are exceptions. I think you can say my shot selection is suspect at best, but I'm still learning.

I actually didn't post the video to get free advice, although I'd be interested in hearing what you mean about process... are you referring to pre-shot routine? I'm not sure what you mean about eye patterns either.

Thank you for the help, Scott --- it's greatly appreciated.

dave...Your "process" refers to a lot more than just your pre-shot routine. It starts with thinking standing up, and continues through execution of the shot (it includes both mental and physical details). You're not alone in not understanding what a PEP (personal eye pattern) is, and how to develop it. It's one of the primary things we focus on in pool school, and something I try to work on individually with every student.

I noticed your "look" of frustration when you would come up out of line. Of course, you still MADE the shot, even when not in a particularly good line...which counts for a LOT (Rule #1...make the OB and you get to go again!:D). Yes, your shot selection sometimes leaves something to be desired, for much of the run...but again, a lot of that was coming up out of line, on the 'natural' shots. IMO, more of the mistakes were related to how the cue was delivered. Love to work with you, Dave. We're not too far from each other!:D
