08.02.09 - Some details about the new version

Hello everyone

Just some details about the new version of mediaconverter.org:

- Support for Facebook videos (free)
- Some erotic portals: Youporn, Timtube and Pornhub (premium users)
- Premium users can download adult protected videos on Youtube
- Again 10 free conversions per day (sorry for the inconveniences at the moment)

Some people asked for hulu.com support. This is not possible since I all my servers are located in Germany. The videos on hulu can only be accessed from inside the USA. Sorry!

The new version doesn't just bring new features it also misses some features like support for Office file formats (too much ressources / only a few users).

By the way .. I still accept feature requests for the new version. So feel free to request whatever you're missing in the current version.

Regards

24.01.09 - Conversion limit set to 5

Hello everyone

To avoid downtime during the peak times I set the daily conversion limit to 5. This will be reset as soon as the new version is online. So you can convert again 10 files per day.

Thank you for your understanding

15.01.09 - Just some news

Hello everyone

As you know from my last post I'm working on a new version of Media Converter. I mentioned that I will release the new version somewhen in February. I think this was too optimistic. There is still too much to do and I don't want to release an unfinished website. So a more realistic release date would be a date in March or April.
I hope you don't mind as the current version can be sometimes really slow during the peak time. Mediaconverter.org now has about 80000 users per day. Maybe too much for this website at the moment.
I'm going to use some new technics to reduce the load time and server load. I hope this will avoid future complications otherwise I'll have to install a load balancer and more servers. Since this isn't very cheap I have to get more premium users. The amount of premiums users is almost always at the same level. I really don't think that it is too expensive. What do I have to do to make more users to sign up? Maybe you can help me out ...

Oh by the way .. please post your requests for new video portals in the new version. I'll do my best to integrate all of them.

Regards
Pascal
