Video link field?

I've been slowly vidcapping all of the old NTSC demos I can find. Is there an acceptable way to include a video link on a release? (I realize this was briefly discussed 7 years ago, seeing now if the policy has changed)

Just put the YouTube (or similar) link in the website details

You can always do it on pouet.

That said, I think a video link would be nice.

@Six - Nothing has changed about the policy since that thread in 2010. I've started a discussion concerning this amongst the staff and we should have some decision shortly.

Quite a few entries, easily hundreds, have used the website form and I don't see a problem with that.

The other night I was showing my wife some videos of old demos on her phone, while we sat in the parking lot at the hardware store. Having the productions available in video format is very convenient.

That benefit is already accomplished simply by having a youtube channel with the demos on it - but it would be much nicer to be able to browse CSDB (which has a more scene-oriented indexing system than youtube), and follow through to the videos that way.

Now there's a field where you can enter the ID for YouTube videos. The link shows up in the same area as links to Pouet and intros.c64.org

here is an even better idea: silently change all the youtube IDs to yPYZpwSpKmA
