Nothing wrong with quoting a quote.
This post is a test of Bitchute, to see if it can post a video to the forum. I'm first trying to post a code snippit.
Plan to test other platforms as well. Youtube is not an option.
Cannot seem to edit after posting, as the forum is still bonked.
Trying again. Edit - This seems to be the best I can do. Had to edit the code a bit. Won't post to the forum window, but the link is direct. This is just an old Nat Cole song. I want to link to my own video. It may turn out that uploading a video is harder than creating it. :)
it's funny but Vimeo annoyed me limiting me to only a few videos unless I paid up,
Youtube is totally free and I have well over a thousand videos
hell could even monetise them if I wished
(don't because of the censorship and false claims etc that comes with it)
Vimeo trial. Edit - same result. I wonder what is so special about youtube that allows it to open directly in the forum?
https://player.vimeo.com/video/147213339Looked at the youtube link code. It works here perfectly. Can't see anything different about it.
Google own it
Why does google's ownership have anything to do with whether or not the Daz forums will imbed a video?
probably a security thing with Cloudflare, just guessing
facebook well, no hope
https://www.facebook.com/1653360584/videos/10222506931176051/ I have imbedded Vimeo before but Chrome won't see itUB, I will be following your efforts.
I set aside my online animation efforts after youtube gave me a site-content-warning for doing a test of Fluidos in a fountain. At some point I will be giving it all another go.
Daily Motion trial. Pretty much the same deal. WIth edits, I can get the link to directly open to the full video, but the video itself will not embed in the forum. That may not be a deal-breaker. Probably better to give up the idea of embedding here and focus instead on which service fits my (modest) needs, as they all seem to work here about the same.

Diomede, I remember your issue. It seemed kind of flukey. If you aren't philosophically opposed to youtube, you might try it again.
" ... youtube gave me a site-content-warning for doing a test of Fluidos in a fountain ... "
Did it have a sexy soundtrack?
I'm starting to feel neglected, with 50 or so videos, YouTube has never given me a warning.
this forum doesn't use html markup I think
chill out from wendy vain on Vimeo.
second time I triggered DAZ Cloudflare security trying to solve this, not doing any more attempts
my internet keeps dropping
Octane took longer and IMO the Carrara native llooks better
have tweaked stuffs since and trying a faster native render
my internet is still flaky
contrmplating ordering a pizza to eat with a guiness,
tho what i really want is steak and potato
I think that they both look good. The biggest difference is that the Carrara render is WAY brighter. For that reason, I kinda like the octane better.
Here is my take so far on video hosting sites.
1. Youtube is not an option for me. Google has immense power, and it is run by people with a radical agenda. Pass
2. Bitchute is kind of like the wild west. It is supposed to be a conservative alternative to youtube. However, the front page typically contains the most extreme off-putting stuff imaginable, so it will likely keep a lot of people away. Despite that, I found it very easy to upload and manage videos. Unfortunately, the video quality is sub par. Pass
3. Rumble is another conservative alternative. It is way more mainstream than Bitchute, and growing rapidly. The FAQ offers little technical imformation, and is instead largely devoted to how to make money on your videos. In fact, the main point of Rumble appears to be making money. They even offer to do all of your marketing for you, for a piece of the pie. If money is your aim, it may be the best site for you. But the constant money drumbeat can get tiring. Plus, they had a second layer of verification they required in order to join. When I objected, they wouldn't budge. Pass
4. Daily Motion is based in France. It is the 2nd largest video sharing service behind Youtube. I found the registration questions they asked to be intrusive. Pass.
5. LBRY, as opposed to Rumble, has a very detailed FAQ. Plus, they really seem like they want you to join. I had to convert my video to a different format to upload, but it wasn't a big deal. The resulting quality was still good. My main objection is the cryptocurrency thing. I've never been a fan. Part of their plan is for you to build your assets by clicking on other people's videos. It reminds me somewhat of multilevel marketing, which I rejected long ago. They do make it plain that you can choose to not participate in their schemes, and instead simply use them to host your videos. I remain on the fence. SciFiFunk likes LBRY, so that is a point in its favor.
6. Vimeo has good quality, robust features, and a very easy registration process. I can't find any way to cause a link to automatically open full screen on the Carrara forum (only Youtube seems granted this privilage), but that just means the viewer has to do it. For my simple needs, Vimeo seems the winner so far.
my only issue with Vimeo is it's not free and I don't like spending money if I can do something free
we can at least view Vimeo videos free if the uploader allows it
I do watch Vimeo links and if on PC fave them as my autofill will sign me in
utoob is showing a new blitz of dazzy ads, facepalm
Vimeo is free if your upload needs are modest (like mine).
This link offers a general summary.

UB - Thanks for the article on Vimeo, maybe a good choice.
Steve and Diomede, glad the information was useful. The video reviews were all filtered through my bias, and you may come to different conclusions in your direct experience.
Vimeo does seem to be more "artsy" oriented than the others, without being overly polically correct. A tough balance to maintain these days!
is 60F outside, pool party!
