Before I start, I hope everyone knows what a screencast is. If not you can find out by going here. Now, I don’t have a lot of time to be making screen cast videos [well actually I do] but I can’t think of any ideas all the time so I am reaching out to the community. If you have a good tutorial idea like how to do something with wordpress then record it! I will put your video up on my YouTube channel “RecoonX”.

I get a lot of upload views and channel views but sure not thousands of people watch me but it’s still a great opportunity. Now, if you want to do this edit your video in the High-Definition format for YouTube which is 1280×720 16:9 aspect ratio. Then upload it to a free file hosting service like Mediafire. The file hosting service can be any one.

Once you do that just email me a link to the file at racoon@racoonscorner.com and I will be sure to take a look. Also make sure your audio is nice and clear and you are not mumbling your words. Also make sure at the beginning say it is for Racoon’s Corner or Racoon’s Corner.com.

Thank you.

Hey guys it’s Gabe… you may have heard of me from a past video on how to control a computer with just an iTouch/iPhone, but anyways I hope to be making plenty of other videos and blog posts as time progresses.

OK so my first blog post is gonna be on ” How to create your own Vent server”. Your first gonna want to do to START>RUN>CMD>Type in “ipconfig” and get the default gateway info and type it into any internet browser.

Second, keep sure any anonymous person can get through your network and under port forwarding create a new port to be forward (I recommend port 3784  because it is the default) also add a name and set it as BOTH.

Third, Download the port checker from here and go through all the setup and such. It will give you the port number to put in the remaining part. (I’m not sure if it differs between computers)

Fourth, Download the Ventsrv from here and go through that setup and keep sure you install everything that it allows you to. Now you can go into start and either search or go to edit INI file.

Fifth, In that INI file you can edit the Name (Name of the server), Phonetic (Welcome message), Adminpassword(Server admin pass), password(make it private),and the VoiceCodec and VoiceFormat (quality of sound and use of bandwidth). You can see the  settings for the VoiceCodec and VoiceFormat by going here.

Sixth, start up the “Ventrilo Server” and join it on Ventrilo by connecting to it via the client. ( If you are on the same network as the server just set the settings to “Localhost” and whatever port you chose) You can also get others outside your network to connect to the servers IP address and whatever port you chose.

There you go you just sat up a vent server!
