Video Statuses
Could not Encode - is when the encoder cannot detect the codec of the video. We recommend that you convert the file to AVI and re-upload it
Uploaded - waiting to be encoded by an available encoder (may take an eternity)
Encoding - your video is encoding, total time will depend on your file size and video length
Encoded - waiting to be approved/disapproved by a media moderator
Duplicate - the video has already on the site
Approved - your video has been approved and is viewable to the public, unless it's labeled 'removed' or 'delete'
Not Approved - in this case there are different reasons to be disapproved (refer to the next section for some reasons).
Why Was My Video Disapproved?
- Uploaded under the wrong section
- Corrupted (poorly encoded, no sound, poor video quality, not complete)
- No English subtitles (applies to anime/drama episodes)
- Subtitles by a restricted fansub group (refer to the forum link at the top)
- Poorly labelled (hard to understand what the video is)
- Lack of information or details about the video
- Licensed
- Not East/Southeast Asian
- A .flv, .rm, .rmvb, or .3gp video and (unless subtitles are unneeded or it's hardsubbed) .mkv
- It was a "get_video"
