AFC TUBE

Uploading video to this site may not be a familiar process to some people who haven't used sites such as Youtube or other social networking communities. Our video upload system will accept a wide variety of formats but if you ever have problems please contact us,and we will address your problem as soon as possible. For those of you attempting to acquire videos from DVD and post them we have created a simple walkthrough in Microsoft Word format to help you accomplish this. This guide should be helpful for users of Windows XP and Windows Vista. Download the guide
Acceptable files
Only WMV, MPEG2, MOV and AVI video files that are 150MB or less will be accepted on AFCTube.com.
 
 
1. Uploading directly from DVD.
It is often the case that users attempt to upload files directly from a DVD video.  These are not acceptable files to upload and, in many cases, are not video files at all.  If you are submitting files of type .VOB, .BUP or .IFO these files are direct from DVD and the video must be captured in some other manner before uploading.  Check our DVD help for more info.
 
 
2. Uploading files that are too large or videos that are too long.
AFCTube.com is designed to help coaches become aware of potential players.  It is recommended that all videos be uploaded in short, concise clips.  Longer videos not only cause issues with video transcoding, they also are less effective at gaining the interest of busy coaches.
 
 
3. "Saving" content from other websites or programs.
Often visitors to AFCTube.com try and capture videos they have uploaded to other sites, such as Youtube, and upload them directly.  If you are attempting to "Save as" from another site and load your video to AFCTube.com please ensure that the file is a valid video before uploading.  In many cases the file downloaded is simply a link and does not contain video of any kind.
 
 
 
4. High definition and cameras with proprietary formats.
Some modern cameras store video using proprietary formats, often in extremely high definition.  These formats are not well-known enough to be converted into web-ready video.  Much like DVDs it may be necessary to convert these files into an alternate formate before uploading to the website.
 
 
5. Check the file size.
Often users will upload files that, for one reason or another, are too small to be video data.  If you are having trouble uploading one of the first things to check should be the size of your video file.  If your video is less than 1 megabtye (MB) or 1024 KiloBytes (KB) it is probably not a valid video file.  Using this method you can rule out most of the problems listed above.
