Quality

In order to do this, we would need a capture card, and an SD card, assuming that the owner of said card does not want to waste his/her time with friend cdoes. Does an admin have this? MegaTron1XD 22:05, 29 August 2011 (EDT)

I oppose, because this seems rather unnecessary. Mr. Anon (talk) 22:09, 29 August 2011 (EDT)

OK, I reread what Toomai's proposition said, and it seems it would work. Mr. Anon (talk) 22:16, 29 August 2011 (EDT)

Also, a method of recording could be using emulators and simply recording the screen. Mr. Anon (talk) 22:17, 29 August 2011 (EDT)

I Incredibly support this idea, i'd also like to help with it but i don't have a way to... unless someone knows the name of a device that can record through the AV ports in a TV. I really think this idea might increase the readers to the wiki, not only will they be great to watch and informative, but if we put some "see more" links within the video people who hang around YouTube watching "combo videos" and such might be more interested in coming here.--Shaun's Wiji Dodo talk 22:12, 29 August 2011 (EDT)

I just want to elaborate on my point a little more, I also like love this suggestion because it's a new and bold move, it's a different direction for a wiki and might be so sucessful that others might decide to follow this idea if it hasn't already been done. Someone always has to be the first, and I want it to be us.--Shaun's Wiji Dodo talk 03:30, 30 August 2011 (EDT)

Actually we are not the first - the Official Team Fortress Wiki is, and it's where I got the idea from, combined with the recent discussion of linking to videos of cutscenes. Toomai Glittershine The SMASH-GINEER 12:49, 30 August 2011 (EDT)

It would be convenient, but would we have enough uploaders to make this worthwhile? Omega Tyrant 22:14, 29 August 2011 (EDT)

Support I love it. Blindcolours tappity Tappity TAPPITY 22:58, 29 August 2011 (EDT)

Support Great idea. Unknown the Hedgehog 23:00, 29 August 2011 (EDT)

Neutral: While I don't think this is a terrible idea, it seems unwiki-ish to me. ƋoӄԏoяΠɛəи99 _{ROLLBACKER} 23:19, 29 August 2011 (EDT)

Support Interesting way to branch out. --HavocReaper48 23:22, 29 August 2011 (EDT)

Weak support. It's an interesting idea, I will admit, but by itself, this Wiki really doesn't seem to use many YouTube videos. Considering this, I doubt that we'd actually need a YouTube channel. But I wouldn't complain if we got one. ReiDemon 23:35, 29 August 2011 (EDT)

Can someone explain what kind of video's will be uploaded if this passes? Because I want to know that before I vote. Support people can learn from it. But I am too young for YouTube :P-- PSIWolf (T • C • E) 04:55, 30 August 2011 (EDT)

Also, I have a emulator and a Brawl ROM, but the recording is not of perfect quality because I have to use Hypercam which refuses to work well with Dolphin. I can't use Fraps because THAT makes Dolphin crash.-- PSIWolf (T • C • E) 05:43, 30 August 2011 (EDT)

Support. This will also nullify the risk of Youtube videos being deadlinked in articles ahead. ^Smiddle 君怒る? 11:07, 30 August 2011 (EDT)

Support - Good idea. We won't need to rely on videos by other users and we can finally upload and submit glitches/techniques without video or picture evidence. Blue Ninjakoopa^(Talk) 14:15, 30 August 2011 (EDT)

Support I'm right behind you above. ..... I think so.... S454 18:02, 30 August 2011 (EDT)

Support Probably not going to contribute much, but good idea.-Ivy73 10:03, 31 August 2011 (EDT)

If this passes

Want me to create the channel? I'll give the admins and anyone from SmashWiki(minus trolls/vandals) who wants to upload a video the password. Blindcolours tappity Tappity TAPPITY 14:35, 30 August 2011 (EDT)

We already have a Google account, in all likelihood the channel would be attached to it. Toomai Glittershine The Honcho 14:42, 30 August 2011 (EDT)

And in the slight chance that that won't be the case? Blindcolours tappity Tappity TAPPITY 15:00, 30 August 2011 (EDT)

I would rather have an admin create the account. Omega Tyrant 15:04, 30 August 2011 (EDT)

I'm the one who runs the SmashWiki Gmail account. The YT channel "SmashWiki" is now ours. Miles (talk) 17:59, 30 August 2011 (EDT)

Any ideas on what the first video will be? ReiDemon 18:01, 30 August 2011 (EDT)

I'm just a middle-man here for videos. I'd be glad to do a test-upload if someone wants to provide me with a video. smashwikidian[at]gmail.com Miles (talk) 18:47, 30 August 2011 (EDT)
