Recorded videos of demos
Sometimes it is very convenient to watch a recorded video of a demo - e.g. when you don't have access to real HW, Vice or if you simply feel lazy ;)
Sites like youtube, pouet and demoscene.tv carry many recorded videos of demos.
What's the CSDB policy for adding such links to a release? |

Quote: If the demo is recorded on real HW or not may not disturb non-sceners, but I tend to like real HW-recording, mostly because of the accurate SID-sound. I think it is a positive thing to be able to watch demos on for example Youtube when I am at work.
When you're at work you're not supposed to watch YT and/or demos ;)
Where I work YT is closed aswell as most of the sites, I can see only those allowed after request, but they don't check anyway what one installs on the PC so using Vice it's possible =)
Anyway, besides of hearing a real sid playing a tune, watching a demo on YT sucks in my opinion, I can't stand frames skipped, blocky artifacts and so on. Vice emulation is still better than a flv/mpg, so I don't personally care too much about videos of C64 demos. |

I can watch while I work - during lunch for example. But ofcourse, if I wasn't a teacher it would be harder to be master of my own work time, I guess. I am spoiled. |

And one more thing: I can watch demos through Youtube on my iPhone, though I wish there was a fully working c64-emulator for iPhone. |

neither, links in the release entries should point to the actual release and nothing else. csdb generally encourages using the real thing (tm) :) |

Luckily I don't work for fascists. As long as I deliver, my employer is happy. :P

btw. in answer to the first real question. CSDB has no real rules concerning youtube links. we do not plan to make a special field for these links.
Personally i think these links are usefull sometimes and i encourage people to add these links in the user comments or perhaps the trivia section.
but again, i can say we probably wont make rules for this.
enjoy watching demos however you wish.
