The video is now on the frontpage and the files are on sf.net. Someone still has to update the infos about the codecs needed and the players that are recommended for watching the trailer. The links to the trailer itself are in the wiki so someone should go to that page and improve it since I lately don't have much time at all.
That's great, thanks for your and torangan's help with encoding it into theora/vorbis and then putting it on wesnoth.org. Just downloaded the 640x480 version, the quality is amazing given the small file size, brilliant.

It's a little bit better now. Besides VLC, I didn't know any programs that play the file. Mplayer, I assume, but I didn't know.ivanovic wrote: Someone still has to update the infos about the codecs needed and the players that are recommended for watching the trailer.

Realplayer and its fully open-source cousin Helixplayer. (Real and Helix now have the same sort of relationship that Netscape and Mozilla once had--Realplayer is about 90% open source these days.)scott wrote: Besides VLC, I didn't know any programs that play the file.

Xine (this is what I use). Anything based on the libxine or gstreamer libraries (e.g. Gnome's Totem, KDE's Kaboodle or Xfce's Xfmedia).
You can also get Directshow plugins for Windows Media Player and other Directshow-based apps.
Basically, any reasonably up-to-date GNU/Linux system should play this out of the box, and Windows and Mac should play it with only a little effort.

Using superlatives usually implies that the described item isn't worth investigating on its own, so it must be oversold. The more exclamation marks the more you oversell it. See the below list for examples of what I mean.Kiba wrote:The headline is "Awesome Wesnoth Trailer!!!". I hope that will help.
"Amazing lawnchairs for sale!"
"Out of this world bubble gum!!"
"Miraculous stuffed dolphin - come see!!!!"
A more descirptive title is usually better for all things. Who knows what an "awesome wesnoth trailer" is? The targetted people to see the video (people who don't currently play BfW) won't know what Wesnoth is, so it is meaningless to them. Something like:
"Battle for Wesnoth: a free online TBS video game"
would explain exactly what the person is browsing, before they even open the video. Those words targets peopl who
a) enjoy video games
and more specifically:
b) enjoy free games
c) enjoy online games
d) enjoy TBS games
It also prejects the title of the game while explaining it instead of throwing out a foreign term expecting people to be interested in it.
Just my 5.5 cents. For digg.com this is probably okay.
Actually I don't think its that awesome. It's nice work though! But the music used clashed with each other at the transitions. The music also had some "ooo" sound of a spearman being stabbed, which was rather awkward.
Some of the screenshots from the game was pixelated. The flag that kept waving was distracting the viewers attention. And the mention of "multiplayer" and "internet play" next to each other made it seem a little redundant. Maybe "Internet supported multiplayer" might be better.
Instead of "CUSTOMIZABLE" and "ADD-ONS", maybe use "Many more Custom made campaigns available for download." or something...
