Review my portal...
http://de-aacs.com/de-aacs-private.htm

It is not finished. I will correct the graphics: I'm well aware that there are problems with the images at present and they can be corrected.

I do NOT know why the youtube logo is not showing, any ideas will be appreciated. More importantly - this version of the page is intended for 1920x1080 so please report ANY issues.

remove background pic, it takes time to load making the site look amateurish . and several backgrounds changing ? pleeease Big Grin
The background taking only the top part of the site; ppl have different resolutions and screens
Change titles position .
Make a header and a small tool bar .
Change fonts used, use fonts like ubuntu font , something neat , like the one used in the word DISCONNECT .
Make effect on active input fields, like border color change or border shadow or something like that .
make footer with descriptions and all .

RE: Review my portal...
I have a better background, the current one: vimeo.com/87701971 - Yosemite HD II, the one I'll be using: vimeo.com/35396305 - Yosemite HD, I think it tells a better story. And yes there'll be a 2nd "plain" version which won't have the video background. I can correct the problem with the video not covering the full window when resized very easily, it's as simple as changing width to minimum width.

This is the XML (ie XHTML) version (without the video for the moment): http://de-aacs.com/de-aacs-private.php

God I'm such an idiot. I couldn't work out why the style sheet wasn't loading - and with no style it looks like THIS! It's because I've set .css files to be handled by php, thus if I don't do anything they're served as text/html. That's not an issue for HTML files, but XHTML requires a match for the content type. Anyway, YAY for XHTML5 working correctly now. You'll notice the HTML version now looks incorrect - this is fine since I won't be using it. All browsers with quasi/semi-HTML5 support XML parsing, thus I don't need to worry about using the plain html/text version any more (or for that matter, EVER again).

EDIT:

Video/No video etc can be accessed here: http://de-aacs.com/de-aacs-private.htm

I know my host isn't fast enough to properly stream the video, so I'll probably just compress it a bit more and it should work. This is the setting I used:

ffmpeg -i yosemite_hd.mp4 -acodec libvorbis -aq 5 -ac 2 -qmax 25 -threads 8 yosemite_hd.webm

Which produced a size near identical to the MP4, I can re-do it and make it smaller, I'll probably have to downsize the video somewhat as well but it should still look decent. I suggest downloading it and watching it with the sound on.

RE: Review my portal...
I'm a little confused as to the purpose of the site. I think that if someone can't understand the purpose of a site, they generally don't spend a lot of time there. Perhaps it would be useful to give us your elevator pitch as it were.
Luke: You don't believe in the Force, do you?

Han Solo: Kid, I've flown from one side of this galaxy to the other, and I've seen a lot of strange stuff, but I've never seen *anything* to make me believe that there's one all-powerful Force controlling everything. 'Cause no mystical energy field controls *my* destiny. It's all a lot of simple tricks and nonsense.

Perfect, that's the kind of feedback I need. I will make it more intuitive.

I've fixed the video position - it won't scroll and won't be smaller than the page.

I've resized the video, thus...

ffmpeg -i yosemite_hd.mp4 -acodec copy -qmax 28 -threads 8 -s 1024x576 yosemite_hd_1024x576.mp4
ffmpeg -i yosemite_hd.mp4 -acodec libvorbis -aq 5 -ac 2 -qmax 25 -threads 8 -s 1024x576 yosemite_hd_1024x576.webm

Now doesn't seem to have a problem streaming. To test this, try the version with sound:

http://de-aacs.com/de-aacs-private-video2.php (WITH SOUND)

And see if there are any pauses in the sound when it plays.

Rule number 1 in making a decent website : No auto music . You didn't get the memo ? Big Grin

And I firmly believe that you have to remove the video thing . not everyone have a 99999 MB/s ultra awesome internet speed connection; with me the video hangs a little and making it look ridiculous, not to mention that it looks ridiculous anyway .

I hope i'm not rude, i'm trying to give an honest opinion .
