Hi Adam R , Thanks for the comment about my movie section. I doubt I will be re-syncing all that much but it would be nice to be able to upload movie files as quick as possible. What format is best to record
movies or video in ? For instance AVI , FLV etc. Which format works best with the coffeecup video software ? I have been experimenting with the firefox addon " Downloadhelper." Are there better ways or
quicker ways to download a movie to play on the coffeecup software? If
anyone out there has some imput I would appreciate your information . I'm thinking maybe the way you download a movie will affect the speed in which it is uploaded to your website.

Craig,
I notice the length of time even using the upload tab in VSD, seems almost like re-syncing, but what I have found to be better for me was to let Video Player do the uploading of the videos, (it's faster) and then save the code in VSD if needed to. Then I'll use Filezilla or Direct FTP to upload VSD. this works for me if I have 6 or more videos. Originally I like to save my Videos as Mpeg's Video Player converts them to .flv
just make sure if they are long drawn out videos, to close everything running in the background with the Ctrl+Alt+Delete then just end task stuff you don't need running.
This is my way, you may wish to go another route.

This could bring up quite a discussion, but there's a lot to it. I like converting files to Divx (AVI) or Xvid format for watching at home, but sharing files is another story. Web Video Player only streams FLV files. You embed a Divx file in your page, but the problem then is that whoever visits the site would need to have the proper Divx codec and/or perhaps a browser plug-in installed to view it. Making compatibility and ease the primary concerns, FLVs will already work for anyone who has Flash Player installed on their browser (which is hard not to these days). Of course, with such compression, most FLVs don't look very good, but size & bandwidth is another whole discussion. 
Not quite sure what you mean. A file will take less time to upload if it's more compressed (smaller file size), but it won't transfer at a faster speed based on the file format.
The bottleneck is almost always the limited speed we're offered by our ISPs. Even with my Comcast screaming at 16mb now, I'm still lucky to hit 1mb upload speed.
