It makes perfect sense to me that LRR would not leave their entire archive on the website, both from the potential cost of keeping them there & a carrot for viewers to purchase the DVDs. I was actually a little surprised that another season didn’t vanish from the archive once the Season 3 DVD was released. I won’t complain, but I do feel a pang of guilt when I watch the QT-only videos online.

The whole time thing is one of the reasons why some people have requested an mass upload tool from Revver (as references by this link to the forum thread discussing it.

I tend to upload stuff while I’m working on other stuff for our site. It gives me time to work and then come back to upload whatever the next video is as soon as that’s done.

Fascinating. Thanks Paul! I followed the blog of one of the fellows in New Orleans during the hurricane but that was before I discovered LRR. It was definitely quite an ordeal.

why don’t you upload the older videos to Revver?

We really should and probably will at some point, but there are a whole lot of pre-revver videos and we really just have not had the time.

Alas, in New Orleans, guns and generators were never that uncommon. It’s also not too dumb an idea to defend your expensive equipment because it’s your livelihood.

So, not so much “brave” as “entirely rational behaviour”

Thanks a lot for the insightful reply, Paul. It really helped a lot ^^, but, out of curiousty, why don’t you upload the older videos to Revver?

I like the sounds of DirectNic, they stick up for their customers.. plus that’d be a pretty neat story to tell people. As for hosting now I know what kind of service to be on the look out for.

I would also be very curious as to the software that powers LRR, I like learning how things are done, often I will do that by hand, picking it apart until I can do it myself in reverse. Alas for things such as this, I really don’t have that opportunity, so reading ‘behind the scenes’ is always interesting for me.
