Thanks for your feedback. VODO 3.0 is currently in development for release later this year. The new version will include a home page that displays new main and Spotlight releases.

Host only free container format videos
Host only free container format videos like Matroska and Ogg Theora. AVI is pretty outdated, anyway.

We will phase out Xvid shortly and are currently investigating moving to open formats only.

This will be implemented in the future but we need to change our tracker software to allow for passkeys to be used.

StatusNet
StatusNet connect support would be nice. Only supporting twitter is sort of #closedsourcefagotry

Offer 1080p matroska versions of movies.
I think members/downloaders/movie makers will be very satisfied with the video quality 1080p matroska provides.

5.1 channels instead 2.0 channels for 720p movie version
I think that AAC 2.0 channels is not good enough for 720p. It will be better if the audio is 5.1 channels.

fix the comment editing function
The comment editing function is broken. If I edit a comment after having it submitted by clicking on "edit", all newlines separating paragraphs are gone. If I now manually add those back, they're not going to show up, after submitting the modified comment, i.e. I get one huge, unreadable paragraph of text.
When I now edit it again and try to put <br> between paragraphs, it deletes all text starting from <br>, and I won't even get it back when I edit the message again.
For an example of a comment with lost paragraph separators after editing, see my comment… more

Include OpenBittorrent tracker by default
OpenBittorrent is a great, free infrastructure supporting millions of interconnected users (i.e. used by The Pirate Bay). The tracker URLs for their service should be added by default in VODO torrents to increase initial DHT stack:
udp://tracker.openbittorrent.com:80/announce
http://tracker.bittorrent.com:80/announceEspecially important is the UDP support, to increase the awareness of BitTorrent support for the much less payloaded data transfer method.

include video length and torrent size on each film's page
It's not obvious how long a film is until downloaded, and you can't even see how big it is until you put the torrent file into your client. Please include both these pieces of information on each film's page.

Search function broken
I think your scarch function under "All Films" is currently broken. My Browser is "Iceweasel" Firefox 10.0.2 on Linux.
If I enter a search query and press enter it correctly updates the number after "Total:" to the number of matching films, but doesn't actually list any movies on the space below. This was when I tried it last. When I try now it constantly lists only one movie: "The Tunnel" (search query was "well", should have listed "The Well of thousand words", says "Total: 5" on top).

Donations
I appreciate that VODO are trying to give their audience some perceived tangible value to donations through various incentives such as BTGuard, the Soundtrack, DVDs and T-Shirts. But what about those of us who simply want to donate?
I watched Pioneer One after reading about it via Twitter and I would simply like to donate some money for two reasons:
a: I appreciate what I watched had a real cost to create
b: I want to help the creators continue to develop the series.
I don't want all this other stuff - I simply want to send them some money… more

Flattr for Vodo
It would be great if we could use Flattr to donate instead directly trough PayPal. Makes it easier to keep in track what amount and to whom we've donated this month.

Create a progress bar that shows how close your movie is to being published.
Once you upload a movie, there's no telling how long it will be till it goes live. I've done a couple projects where people have been turned off by the wait. It would be nice to have some kind of progress bar, or "estimated live date" to show people to assure them we are in the cue.

Use x264/MKV to compress the low-res version
Why don't you offer a "low resolution" (by this I mean, just the same resolution as the Xvid version) in x264/MKV? x264 isn't just for HD, it's simply for better compression ratio. It really doesn't make sense to compress the low resolution version with the poorest algorithm since the point of it is precisely to be as compact as possible.

We are going to get rid of Xvid shortly and will replace it with x264 or an open codec such as Theora if we can ensure that people will be able to play it without too many problems.

Wish there was an easy way to share pioneer one to FB,
don't think many would be bothered to go to the pioneer one site, even if they watch the show. This keeps people from donating
1,7 mill viewers and a sad amount of donations.
This could be increased in evangalizing on FB, Twitter, MS and such.
Make us able to publish the .torrent with information about the show on the different social networks through easy links.
Perhaps make it possible to donate through mobile as well? Makes it easyer if people donot have creditcard available.

Create a (new, better) subscription feature
When vodo launched, there was a subscription feature. It would allow me to give $10 (or something like it) a month to vodo, to help you cover your costs and expand and so on.
While what vodo is doing is cool, I didn't sign up, because I was poor at the time, and I guess infrastructure just doesn't inspire the kind of altruism in me that it would take for me to donate that kind of monthly sum.
Before posting this, I checked to see if that was still around, and couldn't find it - it seems I wasn't the… more

Thanks for this. We are looking at offering a much improved subscription service which will probably see the light of day this summer and your comments are really valuable!
