Dear all,

YouTube, the largest video sharing site allows billions of people to
discover, watch and share videos.YouTube provides a forum for people

the site.

more than 1 billion users and every day people watch hundreds of
millions of hours on YouTube and generate billions of views.

It may be of interest to note that 300 hours of video are uploaded to
YouTube every minute and about 60% of a creator's views comes from
outside their home country. YouTube is localized in 75 countries and

based on the suggestion by our members (including our supporting
partner organisations like SPIN, eWIT, IITMAA, MALA, CySI and all others) which
they consider best, worth watching and would interest others too.

This programme will be the first to crowd-source the content from the
members/participants.

in mpeg (mp4) format by downloading it from YouTube in order to avoid

YouTube video clips in mp4 format. Paste the URL of the clip  at the
top of the form and click on DOWNLOAD button. Then use the Download 
MP4 (max 480p) option.  If the downloaded mp4 file size exceeds 20 MB
(the limitation of gmail for an attachment), re-download with lesser
resolution say 360p to reduce the size of the file. After downloading
make sure that that the file is usable by playing and watching the
clip.

Pl. note that only one clip per member will be accepted to provide
opportunity to a larger group of people. The clips of duration longer
than 5 minutes will not be considered.

Pl. avoid sending clips dealing with content not suitable for public
viewing and which may hurt the sentiments.

The organisers decision is final in accepting the clips.
