Topic Wiki

If your video is not embedding, see if your link starts with "http:" - if it does, change it to "https:" and it will work.

If a video isn't embedded you should assume it may be inappropriate for some people.

How do I embed a Youtube video?
Simply post the YouTube URL.
Alternately (actually, this may no longer work):
Click the "youtube" button on the second row on the furthermost left side.
You will now have the words: [youtube][/youtube] in your editor.
Now, copy and paste the youtube video id (youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0&x=y) in between the middle brackets in order for it to look like this:
    [youtube]oHg5SJYRHA0[/youtube]
and leave out this part of the link: "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v="

Or you can paste the YouTube link, highlight it, and then click on the "YouTube" button. This will encase the link in the youtube tags,
Now just click "post" and you're done!


How can I search if a video has been posted here before?
This is not foolproof, but it's a good start.
Search for the youtube ID (youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0)

So true. I was thinking that when I saw a friends wedding pictures the other day. Everyone is taking pictures with their phones!

Different world! (for better or for worse)

These videos aren't on the forums. They are embedded from YouTube (or linked from other sites). There's no way to host videos on DDF AFAIK.

Depending on device type, there should be multiple apps available in the App Stores to download videos from websites.

For computer downloads, there are websites that offer the same download feature.
Thanks guys

I think if you upload via tapatalk it gets hosted on ddf
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

I uploaded a video a couple days ago and it hosted on Vimeo.
You uploaded it as an attachment and it was automatically hosted by vimeo?

For pictures you have the option to make it an attachment (hosted on DDF) or hosted through Tapatalk. Videos don't have that option.

That is 100% the Chofetz Chaim.
Yup, looks exactly the same as in the famous picture.

I'm assuming the guy was blocking the camera at the Chafetz Chaim's insistence, for the same reason we don't have any photographs of him other than the one.

If you don't care why would you comment?

Correct.

I was once at the home of Rav Hillel Zaks, grandson of the Chofetz Chaim, in Kiryat Sefer.

The only picture he had in his home of his grandfather is the one with his face half covered.
This one:


Although he never met him, he remarked that his mother (Chofetz Chaims daughter) said that if she saw "the guy from the famous CC picture" on the street, she would not recognize him.

ETA- He may have had this one as well:

I was told that his mother said he was a choshuva yid from radon but not her father

So this is fake? http://www.eichlers.com/chofetz-chaim295.html
No, I think its the same person in the video, and to the contrary as soon as I saw the video I said that picture is real
