Raw 720p footage for 4 hours long is somewhere around 600 gigs. We have to compress that, chop it into vods, fix syncing, export it, fix any problems and then upload to youtube. It takes a while. Thanks james. I was wondering what was goin on b4 i read your post. Looking foward to the vods tomorrow. | ||

The bulk of the time is chopping and encoding hundreds of gigs of raw video, not actually uploading to YT. The uploading to YT takes a few hours but that's hardly the major delay. I don't think I have to mention the importance of actually having content on our youtube where there's ads and stuff, but even if we did do torrents the end user would probably receive it around the same time. It wouldn't be that much faster. | ||

Thanks for the update! I missed today's matches and have been eagerly looking forward to the VODs. Now to determine if ~9 hrs of TSL contains too much awesome for me to take in one day. | ||

And i don't think previous commentators wanted only the torrent system, we know keeping active on youtube is certainly a great benefit and gets TLs name out there in even a bigger way (despite being one of the best names in the field). But the torrents were nice for people who don't have internet access all the time who cant just jump on the tube and load it up. I could just download the series, put it on a flash drive and have it wherever i go and whenever i have time. Anyway thanks for all the great work and another awesome TSL. | ||

Even if the videos were made available after the tournament that would still be a plus for me. | ||

PS, you can include ads in the videos if that is really the main reason for wanting them on youtube only. | ||

This is just what I was hoping, I tuned in halfway through game 2 on saturday, and the match just ended and (Obv spoiled the game that just ended, they have to talk about it) they spoiled game 1 for no reason. I would love for the casters to try and contain each match to itself, it doesnt detract anything, and helps people who cant watch the entire livestream! Great job casting though guys | ||

Great job casting though guys Are you serious ?... That's like having the football commentators trying their best to not spoil the others match's results that are happening at the same time... Seriously aren't you going a bit too far ? You can't have the commentators restrain themselves for a match that have been played like 20 minutes ago. Argh. Definitely overboard whining sorry. Just let it go for chris' sake. | ||
