Folk videos on the net via YOU TUBE

From: GeoffLawes

I've just stumbled upon You Tube where people post their own videos for anyone to view. There are short videos of quite a few well known folk performers - so far I've found The Copper Family, Karine Polwart, Christy Moore, Dylan, Jim Croce and Tim Buckley plus a whole range of people I've not heard of. There are also videos of folk music from non english- speaking cultures, as well as Morris and Molly dancers. To explore the site click on CATEGORIES at the top of the home page and you will be offered a search facility.

There's some good Fairport video up, from the obscure Farnell/Hill lineup among others.

Some interesting stuff. How does it fit in with copyright laws though?
Try this one - Carthy and Swarbrick - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTzFWIBHFQM

Quack!

A lot of it gets pulled when copyright holders complain. Until then, it's there.
I've got a lot of my own original fingerpicking and trad. folk songs on Youtube. I started a fingerpickers group, with links to a lot of great old timers.

Do other people find that the Carthy-Swarbrick video plays for the few seconds and then stops?

If not, what can I do? My computer is only a few months old, and I feel that I ought to be able to join the world of YouTube.

It stopped for me, too. It looks like it downloads slower than the player plays it so it doesn't stream properly. But if you hit the pause button and let the light grey progress bar progress a little - say half way across - and then press play it might work. It did for me.

Just in case people are still streaming Youtube videos and aren't aware, here's a different way (I'm sure you all know this anyway but...)

Go to Youtube and find the video you want. On the page of the video is a URL

Copy the URL and go to youtubex.com and paste the URL into the box

Download the file and save it to your disk. Once downloaded rename in to whatever you want. ????.flv

How do you play an flv file? Go to flv player and use what's there. There are other playrs you can download but this particular one allows full screen and some other options.

And that's about it.

Goodness knows why they stream it all - it apparently currently costs $1m+ a month. I trust the ads are enough to keep it going!

...(I'm sure you all know this anyway but....) ... Yeah , right !!

Potentially the most helpful tip ever posted on Mudcat.

there are hundreds of video clips which teach guitar playing like this which is the first of an extensive series of instructional clips by the same man.

Also there is a facility for making the clip full screen size which is located under the image on the far right.

Cross-reference here: Nick started a new Tech You Tube thread here. You may want to check back in forth in case there is more chatter about the technical end of the business over there.

Personally, I've never heard of this so I'll have to check it out. It sounds like something my kids have been fidding with for some time now. They sit hunched over the computer, gales of laughter erupt as some funny video plays. I'll bet this is the type they're finding.

Re Nick's helpful piece above about how to store YouTube vids to one's disc. Helpful indeed. But I find thay can perfectly well be Bookmarked [or, in Explorer Favorited], which is far less trouble.

This kicks Steeleye Span's ass from here to the end of time. Excellent job on this song."

Wow. Indeed you did. Congratulations. Can't listen until tomorrow, but I will.

The advantage of downloading to disk is that when the video gets removed from Youtube, you can still watch it.

I wish I had done that with the videos I posted up on the Youtube Permathread, almost all of which have been removed for various reasons.

These quality as folk, I believe:

Star of the County Down - I've been properly taken to task for not doing this song correctly and not as well as Van Morrison!
My Grandfather's Clock - I love this old song and sing it every chance I get!
Annie Laurie - one of the prettiest songs of all time.
Buachaill ón Eirne (aka Come by the Hills) and MacPhersons Rant Medley - an instrumental.

I have a few other clips and favorites posted up on Youtube.

Thanks, Virginia Tam. I can also vouch for Captain Birdseye's channel. I looked over there myself and found lots of good performances.
