Can somebody in Canada see if the episode video has been updated?--Hardvice (talk) 23:35, 6 February 2007 (EST)

Unexpected Clips

There's a third clip at Yahoo! TV (Matt, Ted, and Hana) but I can't find a direct link to it.--Hardvice (talk) 18:18, 14 February 2007 (EST)

• I found the clip of Ted, Hana, and Matt at iesb.net and updated it a couple hours ago....really cool scene. I'm glad to see them putting out this many traile clips this soon...should be even more later this week. --(HiroDynoSlayer-talk 04:06, 15 February 2007 (EST))

Company Man Clips

I purposefully marked (SPOILER) on the Bennet and Claude clip, (even though all previews are spoilers to some degree), this particular preview clip is highly SPOILER, so wanted to let everyone who might click on it have no doubts. (2.5 hours and counting.....tick, tock, tick, tock) --(HiroDynoSlayer-talk 17:06, 26 February 2007 (EST))

.07% Clips

Ugh, who is the terrible Malcolm McDowell impersonator they got to do the voiceover on the painting clips? I keep waiting for him to throw in an extraneous "dude" here and there. Oh, NBC ... I realize Malcolm's too big to have him sit around recording promos all day, but is that seriously the best you could do?--Hardvice (talk) 13:01, 4 April 2007 (EDT)

YouTube over NBC.com

Why would we replace an NBC.com clip with a YouTube version? YouTube's quality is crap, it's more likely to be blacklisted for people behind corporate firewalls, and the copyright is questionable. I think we should always prefer official sources for video clips over unofficial sources.--Hardvice (talk) 16:58, 12 April 2007 (EDT)

• Personally, my browser's been crapping out on NBC's website. If someone does find the YouTube link, it'd be helpful not only to me, but also those who want to download the video to watch (.flv). NBC has removed some in the past, so that's probably why the rest of the links posted are YouTube pages.--Bob 17:01, 12 April 2007 (EDT)
  • The latest trailer that is available in My Space has terrible sound issues. The video quality is bad too. Stellatomailing 17:09, 12 April 2007 (EDT)
    • I agree with Hardvice in principle, but I've been having lots of problems with NBC's site. Stellatomailing brings up a good point, too. What if we gave users an option of both (when available)? Something simple like (YT) after the main link. Or, we could put the YouTube clips at the bottom (they don't necessarily need to be transcluded on the links page). — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 18:04, 12 April 2007 (EDT)
      • Here's the YouTube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCdW8JmskNE -Snyx 19:43, 12 April 2007 (EDT)
        • I think Ryan has the best solution with the 'YT' link to youtube after the official link (if one exists). That way, people can choose what is best for them. I know for me, YT is much easier, and doesn't have all of the add crap and extra banners and junk that accompany some of the official preview pages and sometimes the previews themselves. Just the clip, start-forward and ready for quick consumption. So, if I have a vote, I would say list the official clip first if available, and then follow it with a YT link for those who prefer that route. --HiroDynoSlayer (talk) 04/12/2007 21:27 (EST)
