Its been long anticipated, but Group Chats are now becoming available via the Video archives! Youll now be able to tune in on the Group Chat action by just a click of a button, and just in time for the Sex Games promo! You wont miss out on any of your favorites action.
As you know, Group Chats are a community experience where the performer sets the required number of credits for the length of the show. One or more customers pledges credits and the show begins! Once a Group Chat video becomes available, youll see it designated with Group in the title. Stay tuned for more developments revolving Group Chat availability and more!
In addition, videos are now a minimum length of 4 minutes! No more short 2 minute recorded shows flooding the video archives, videos are even more action-packed! These, and other developments underway, are just another steps into making Videos another great Flirt4Free experience!

does the 4 minute minimum apply to VIP videos of private shows as well? I assume this is for new recordings and you're not doing retroactive purges of videos less than 4 minutes? I certainly have some 2-4 minute segments of pvts that were interrupted that I would not want to lose (past and future)

...It is great to hear that the Group Chat VOD's will now be available. Some time back we were lead to believe that anyone who pledged to get into the group chat would have the VOD's become a part of their show history, I do hope that this is still the case.

Nubia, curious as to how this will apply. I had a recent show that was over 8 minutes long but the VOD made available was only two minutes and some change. Will shows longer than 4 minutes that are then somehow shortened less than 4 minutes be made available?

Yes, good question, but I think the answer is clear, even if unpalatable : "videos are now a minimum length of 4 minutes" Quote

The 4 minute VOD minimum must surely only apply to new shows. It would be a drastic step to apply this new limit to all previously recorded shows. Don't remember any members asking for this in the recent consultation.
Wonderboi and Asti make a great point about the way longer shows are sometimes accidentally fragmented. That will need to be addressed in applying the new limit.
Thinking about the short shows in my VOD collection. There are not only longer shows which were accidentally fragmented. Some shows are the extra 2-3 minutes that the model asked for at the last minute, so they contain the highlight of the show. I also have some lovely 2-3 minute shows with performers who have left the site, and these are my only memories. I would hate to lose them.

Nubia said "videos are NOW a minimum length of 4 minutes! NO MORE short 2 minute recorded shows flooding the video archives". I take this to mean "from now on, videos will be a minimum length of 4 minutes" Quote
I understand what Nubia said but what happens when a show is originally longer than 4 minutes and the site cuts it to below 4 like my example above? Will it still be a VOD? Or say a show is 30 minutes over all but then split into two parts and "part 2" is less than 4 minutes? Will part 2 become a VOD? I only ask because this has happened several times. And I love a good ending.

I surmise that if "part 2" is less than 4 minutes, regardless of whether or not it is part of a longer show, it won't become a video. Of course I could be wrong

How about instead of finding new and improved ways to screw the customer, why dont you do some thing we want for a change, like give us all access to our own shows. I know for me that would make these changes a little more palettable.

jeffie I appreciate your opining. I just wish for VS would say it official. You take care, always good to crosspaths here.
Hulk don't smash, but that is what VIP gets a member. Quote
There is a minimum now stated, but there is a maximum time, that if you surpass, will not record also. Consumer beware.

Many of the VODs I was interested in have increased in price by six times.

We'll make sure to look into the issue of VOD's splitting and the second half becoming less than 4 minutes-- that's definitely something we don't want to happen.
Secondly, the VOD price point options for the 1 Day access are now taking into account the length of the video AND the PPM rate (which is individually set by a performer. This means that, although there are no set price points, the purchase rate varies only respective of the VOD.
We have many more Videos related projects underway, all launching in effort to enhance the video viewing experience.
