What makes a good domain name video tutorial-opinions needed

Hi Troy,

Thanks for your comments.

Hehe... I do have a Wombat fetish - I just think they are the cutest thing under the sun. So yes, one can have a wombat-fetish :-) Better than wombatophobia.

I'm originally from Finland, but I've lived in Australia for 10 years now.

The NOS chair goes from 0 to flying flat on your back in it in about 0.01 secs - its got one wheel missing ROFL.

I shot the video with Flip MinoHD and edited it with Adobe Premier Pro CS4. I used PhotoShop images and Premier's title making feature to do the captions. Got a few sound bytes from Sounsnap.com.

The video has slight slip-syncing problem, since the Flip has LOUSY sound recording, so I recorded it with Adobe Soundbooth wearing a Madonna style headset microphone, but without the conical boobs, then tried to sync the sound to the video but missed it a little bit.

Its my first video with Premiere, so the learning curve is a bit steep (hell, its my first video ever).

I edited the vid at 1280 x 720 resolution at 30fps with square pixels and no fields (Progressive Scan). I encoded the video with H.264 with video bitrate of 6mbs for both sliders.

The file size of the entire clip is 256.7 MB, which is pretty good considering.

Hi Markus,

I liked the video. It's simple and clear :)

I just noticed that you looked down a couple of times. It would be better if you'd maintain eye contact with the viewers.

I would also like to comment on "Brand Names" (#3). We don't actually recommend putting the product name into your domain name. Other than the legal problems that may arise because of trademark (which you mentioned on your video), you might not want to promote that product in the future thus it would be better if your domain name would not rely on the product that you are currently promoting. You would want your site to last for a long, long time.

Hope that helps :)

Cheers,
Michelle
