Hey everyone, this is a thread for any useful videos on the Gear VR. Post a link to any great/helpful video you found and I'll add it to this post. If two videos are very similar I'll only post one of them so we don't have just a bunch of similar unboxings, setups, etc. I'll start with this unboxing/setup/tips video:
UNBOXING, SETUP, TIPS:
TOP 5 HIDDEN FEATURES:
SAMSUNG'S GEAR VR COMMERCIAL:
(Reserved space for future posts)
Wow, I'd say that's a very thorough and professional video! I agree at 4:11 lol
Added a hidden features video and Samsung's promotional commercial.

Hey guys, wanted to post this publicly because I think we can throw ideas around, not just between people on XDATV but with anyone interested. Basically, I want to share some of the things I've learned from youtube over the years about optimizing the impact of our videos. If we work together on this, everyone benefits.
I assume everyone wants to see their view count go up. We make videos for people to watch, and the view count says how many times they've been watched. So that's the goal, and these ideas are all about achieving that goal. For each idea, I'm putting what we'd do, and then explain why.
1. Post only on your designated day--or if you must, on a day when no one else is posting--so there is only one video posted per day.
Most of the views come from that Latest Video on XDATV box on the right hand column on the portal. At the very least this idea is a courtesy to one another because we aren't taking time on that prime real estate away from each other. Our videos shouldn't compete with our other videos. We're working as a whole, however disjointedly. I wouldn't post more than one video a day even on my own channel for the very same reason. Actually, that's not true... I have posted more than one video in a day on my youtube channel before, with the explicit intention of burying the first. Because that's what posting more than one video a day does.
Videos do not work like blogs. Especially not when the videos are time-sensitive, as many of our videos are. And looking on every other tech blog that also makes videos, you'll see they do this too. The reason the first video gets so few views is because even the most dedicated viewers tend to check Youtube only once per day. Also, the longer a video goes before the next is posted, the more views it gets. Something to keep in mind if you want to post more in a week than your timeslot allows.
2. Tell the viewers to subscribe to the youtube channel, or at least to check out more of our videos.
Currently, our videos are averaging more views than the xdadevelopers youtube channel has subscribers. While that's a good indication of future growth, it still means that more people are watching than are subscribed. Often, people just forget to do it. Given the linear growth in subscribers versus the radically varying video views, it means that we aren't building a steady viewer base, we're mostly getting one-time views in passing.
Now, I know we're here more or less to provide a service to the forum, and if that's all we want XDATV to be, then there's no reason to follow this idea. However, XDATV could be a great marketing tool for xda-developers, which would make the relationship between XDATV and the forum less parasitic and more symbiotic. Bad analogy, but I can't think of a better one right now. I can't think of any reason why we wouldn't want XDATV to bring people to the forum and likewise, instead of only the forum bringing people to XDATV. Our subscriber count means nothing on the forums, but on Youtube, subscribers mean baseline views. (And if videos are getting far fewer views than the channel has subscribers, something went very wrong. That's the case with my channel, went on too many hiatuses.) Building it needs to be a big focus.
3. Provide links, article titles, tags, and video titles with each video.
For the most part we all provide article titles and links, but the more, the better. Internet searches pick up on everything in the video description, so the more detailed it is, the more traffic your video will get. Tags and video titles are the same, but we don't do them. Tags provide keywords. You know this, I'm just reiterating. Imagine every reason you can that someone might need your video. Your tags should be all the words you think they would search to find your video.
Lastly, the video titles. When I find tech videos for other sites, if it's news they title it with one or two of the biggest headlines, put ambiguously. That way people searching for any related headlines will be more inclined to watch. Stuff like "NEW EVO 3D!!!!" or "Xperia Mini Revealed!" And so on. And trust me, people click it. If it's a tutorial, review, or even interview, the title tends to be what you can do with the info in the video. Chad sorta did that a bit ago, but it should be simpler. Something like, "Root Your Desire HD". Shawn, your interview with Mendozinas could have been titled "Make Your Own Themes on Android". The titles are relevant, but capitalize on what people can get out of it, rather than what it's about or, as we're titling them now, what it is. And then, providing these things for Svetius will make his job a whole lot easier.
I was pretty sure I had more, but I forgot for now. So go make words below this post, preferably in some coherent order and pertinence.

Werd. Agreed. I don't give XDA as much love as I give the other two sites I work for. I might start soon.
Azrienoch, the podcast should also pick up the viewing count and any description added to the files, so such information is always good, particularly links.
I just hope that we can get the update process sorted out so you guys can do your encoding and then update the podcast without any effort on your part. I'm not sure what we need to do to submit the podcast to iTunes etc, but I am reluctant to do so until the podcast is updated promptly (I guess I could open it up for other users to upload the videos instead, but that creates other issues).
At the moment, there will be a two week gap in updates as I won't be able to do it until the end of the month.
There are still some adjustments I want to make to it (icon, description etc), so if you guys want anything altered or changed then let me know. Most parts are adjustable (I've noticed that meltwater is in the copywrite bit - it only showed up on my GoogleReader, I'll remove it when I can - it is because I'm using my FeedBurner version of the youTube feed to get around my access issues...which I setup a while back).
If we want to move it to a common account or something then it will have no effect on the podcast link itself (as you just update feedburner account). Also we can set-up a common feedburner account too if you guys want to view the stats.
As of Today, the stats are: 896 views of 34 items
If only youtube would re-enable the rss feeds directly and then the podcast would also count on the viewing count too. I can also add a podcast item about subscribing to the channel too, but not everyone wants to use data-plans to access content on the go.
A better line of communication with the news team and owners/maintainers of the site wouldn't hurt, either. At the present time it's like a 5 story office building, and the door is locked to each floor, so you have to call and request it to be opened over intercom.
Today's stats are: 1,446 views of 34 items
Shame as it is just starting to grow, it won't be updated for a while.

Great tips, Jeff.
I know how to embed YouTube video to webpage. Recently, I create a flipbook from my local PDF document. Now I would also like to display it on my website like YouTube video, display book content in the part of the page. The important thing is the embed code. However...I have no idea about how to make the embed code of flipbook. Is there anyone who have ever made flipbook embed code with FlipBook Creator? Any other ideas to show the book also very good. Thanks!

While you may get an answer from the very intelligent and responsive community here at XDA, this may not be the best place to ask this question to be honest... This specific section of the site is dedicated to themes and applications for the Motorola Xoom, and it overall doesn't deal too much with web design (other than having an awesome one).
Might I suggest:
Using FlipBook Creator's in-app help (if there is one - i haven't use this software before-)
Going on FlipBook Creator's website for help
Using a great q&a site like stackoverflow to ask your question
Hope that helps.
[OT] [Sheridan Tongue ♫☼♪] Sheridan Tongue Music - Deleted on YouTube. (JamesJeffery)

Well, i miss those Videos so much, because i remember, how they were playing, when IsoBuster recovered a big amount of data, that i miss since 6 Years.
(Childhood Photos, Videos, Audio Recordings, other important data, lost 6 Years ago, because a bug in the Camera Firmware from an old camera, that we had, before we had the DMC-FS, (i don't want to mention the manufacturer+model because i don't wanna blame them) did damage the File System.)

Channel is dedicated to vintage tracker music: MOD, S3M, XM, IT, whatever.
Music made with small computers, but great minds were involved.
Multiple styles: from chiptune to trance.
No pseudo demoscene. ONLY THE BEST!
Mankind produced 288.000 mods in total.
Almost all of them are *pure crap*.
Approximately 0.88% worth your attention.
You can find all of these *music gems* here, on my channel.
Listen to the MODS & be cool.
Music is rendered via XMPlay v3.8.3.4. All quality settings maxed out.
If you don't know what the heck i am talking about, check out wiki for detailed explanation:

No problemo!
I don't care about views & subs.
I care about quality of content.
Enjoy!
If you are interested in tracker music perhaps you would like to know in which software all these delightful music were created. If so, follow the link, which brings you to comprehensive and most complete catalog of music tracking applications.
I was permanently banned on all ugly g platforms.
So there is no yt channel and tracker base anymore.
Countless hours or work were sent to trash bin.
This is what is happening when you are messing with monopolistic corporations.
Don't trust your information to them.
Ultimately, here is the download link to the best mods ever created by mankind:

~700Mb of compressed joy.
Also there is a mirror on my personal web-page.
Hope that someone will appreciate this collection.
Just updated mod archive. Removed some dups, sort thing up a bit.1472 mods after final clean up.
