Statistics from the bvd youtube channel...

Doctor DooM

Recently the brianvondoom youtube channel hit 15,000 views.

I said when it hit 10,000 I'd post up some stats as people were asking and to be honest the channel belongs to everyone here more than I, as it's been pretty exclusively a channel for Irish fighting games for a while. It's not like the bvd channel is huge but it does get about 50 hits a day every day at this point so everyone here are stars of our own little channel at this point!

So I am going to do my best to post up some interesting stats.

Firstly: 15,600 views since Oct 30 2009

290 videos

That's 53.8 views per video


Here's the top ten in reverse order:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DJTJl6wz9Q

It appears everyone loves watching farz getting beaten. 1% of total views.

This is from the first event we ever recorded, I was happy to try it out in a messing around situation as if I recall there was an inferno shortly after.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nB6WkAbozrM

Poor old Kirby getting killed to death by cog. 1.2% of total views.



This was a weird inferno, I recall loads of big hitters got knocked out in groups, and I personally had a couple of upsets

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrZNyQTyWvk

Blag and newtype, final of DSRB 3.3. 1.3% of total views.

This was my first dragonslayers and also the first tournament I figured out how to get a bit more quality out of mpeg streamclip/ youtube's uploading rules. This the mock full widescreen HD appearance. It's a good trick and I'll tell anyone who wants to know how to do it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tpe7EwNOS5c

Cog and Newtype (yeah there's alot of them) this time at inferno 6. 1.4% of views.

I remember warring with the doom cam to stop bouncing, it's not a problem anymore This one's got a few views on neo empire.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpbSI0giErE

The Hound vs Cog, Final of inferno 8. 1.6% of total views.

Interesting that the final match from vanilla to be played competetively in the Rep of Ireland is in the top ten. This one got some hits off SRK.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gqe3UUxXaCM

Blag v Cog, Final of the most recent inferno. 1.7%.

The fact that the most recent final is in the top ten shows how much quicker we're getting views these days. This one has had views from SRK, neo empire, edge forums, euro gamer and capcom unity. I assume people are linking them to the channel and good games to them people are clicking on those links and watching.

Inferno 7 final- Bush v Cog.

Yes, there is ALOT of Cog. There's a couple interesting hits on this one off youtube search...

cobelcog 25 35.7
cobelcog cammy 2 2.9
cobbelcog cammy 1 1.4
chu chu bush 1 1.4
streetfighter 4 cobelcog 1 1.4
chun-li bush 1 1.4

OOoooooh look at me I'm Irish Cammy.

This was during my experimental phase with effects 1.8%.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7Aa6ZqCkTg

Something completely different, my world games cup vlog. 2.0% of hits. Popular in France Shot entirely on my phone. I still have some daigo footage I should throw up sometime.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1N-Tta4gzts

Bush v Ken b. A group stages match in at number 2 2.1% of views. Nearly 150 of those views off SRK so I assume someone posted it there! Interestingly, this is the first one I can see which has someone delibrately searching for "inferno street fighter" videos.


So... there's LOADS of great matches there, pretty much all worth watching, if at least just to see how much the Irish fighting game community has evolved, and to see people like Hound explode on the scene.

So what could possibly be the no 1 most viewed video?

With 3% of total views, its, er, one of my turtle fests with dreddy...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRhm3MvO3Ow

The only reason it's this popular is because it was at the heart of a very minor flame war over the "fecking greeks" incident. Aw, happy memories.

Anyway I hope you enjoyed this and it brought back some nice memories. I'm going to make another post shortly about some interesting statistics on who's watching where and when. The channel seems to be getting more popular as of late and it's probably because we're all getting better and more interesting to watch, or perhaps simply because there is more of us, or perhaps because I am making less videos at each tournament so people are focusing more on the big matches.

Doctor DooM

All the big spikes coincide with a final video being uploaded.

Interesting over the last couple of weeks when I haven't uploaded anything big we seem to be getting twice as many hits as quiet periods before/

Also: 4% female?


Really?

Placebo

that 4% is just me. LAWLS
why did that terrible match of mine get 1% of views
i've gotten better, i swear

good stats doom
perhaps if you had the CHARACTER names in description and heading, it would return better search results.

i.e farz [chun] vs sisko [ryu], inferno, ireland.
instead of farzsisko

They're only ones I haven't gotten round to renaming farz, I usually tag and name the vids correctly.

In fact I have found the absolute best two things you can put in your video's title/ tags are:

Super street Fighter 4

and

Daigo

Placebo

sorry didnt notice, totally forgot about tags as well. my bad.

good times, how bad was everyone few months back, jeez

Yeah, i uploaded a video of jim carrey and it has almost 8 million hits! They keep inviting me to apply for revenue partnership on it but it'll be ripped down by copyright holders as soon as i do

With the usb things people are buying, does that mean we could record group stages etc from infernos? (provided a spare laptop is around)

only if we have some sort of video splitter, otherwise it would be laggy. I've ordered one and its on the way soon

Alternatively we could play group stages online in xgc (from one xtreme account to another xtreme account) and save the replays. Obviously we would never do this, its such a pity you can't record 1v1 matches offline

We also have to take into account the fact that if there is too many videos then people won't watch them.

We could have one dedicated recording console and group admins could select one or two matches to have recorded.

Yarp that's why I started the thread, it's all stuff that alot of the people who post here created together. I think that's something kinda cool and it's also a record of how much we've changed since last october (believe me it's HUGE).

Sadly not unless Terry's splitter thing works, those USB devices cause considerable lag and SSF4 stupidly does not allow for recording of local matches.

Practically I think it's best that we keep the current system of picking the best looking group and plonking them by the doomcam. Purely for time issues.

If other people brought their cams we could record multiple groups (hint hint).

Yeah, good point. I was thinking of a setup where every console at a competition would be hooked up to a dvd recorder (like i did in my test version) and if people wanted to record their own matches at group stage they would bring in their own blank re-writable dvd, stick it in the machine and press record. When their match is over, they stop recording and take out the disk. They can continue to do this for all of their matches (on the same disk). Then its up to them to do what they want with the footage (edit, upload etc). This would also save doom and sisko a bit of work.

However, the setup is pretty unfeasable. We would need a few dvd recorders and a few splitters. Would be a nice bonus though for people who don't get to the knockout stages but would like to record matches from the big occasion. This is probably the wrong thread for this post anyway!

That would have to be dvd ram yeah?

also shame about the lag thing.

No, i don't think so? At least not with the dvd recorder i have

It is.

Next time I upgrade it'll be to some kind of PVR solution, which will not only increase the quality (Hauppage records in HD!) but also mean quicker uploading (at the moment every single video requires about 10 minutes of editing on my part).

I'd really like an all in one solution which doesn't record to a hard drive, I could put some money away but to be honest it's simply too expensive to bring somewhere like XGC. If Area 2345634685 works out I will reconsider getting one.

Here's an example of how correctly labelling/ tagging your vids is important.


Check out the search terms the TvC vid has been found under:


dr.doom vs
marvel vs capcom 2
final capcom vs tatsunoku
super street fighter iv
tvc tournament

Tying in with this, my most popular vid, by a large margin:
