I'm interested in in-game videos, but also in game documentaries, behind the scenes features, old videogame shows (all of which would be legal, of course).

I saw many times torrents posted with such stuff, and I wonder what are the best sites to get such videos? I'm more interested in everything else I have mentioned than in-game videos, but that's great too, it's just easier to get. Are there any (legal) torrent sites keeping track of such things, or of such videos? I know of the polish videogame commercials site, it's nice.

I have subscribed to IGN Insider, I wonder if there is a way, some tool to sort all the downloads? I'd be really interested in digging into some behind the scenes and other funny featurettes. I am considering subscribing temporarily to Gamespot Complete, but I am wondering the same thing. Of course, they use WMV and Sorensen-3 Quicktime, which I hate, but I guess I can cope with, it's just not as nice and convenient than MPEG-4 compatible videos such as xvid.

I know of gamesmediamirror, but there is not a lot of stuff posted over here. It's quite nice, tough.

Do you know any sites and/or protocols that might fit my bill?

I only post stuff that people send me to gamesmediamirror. As far as I remember you are not interested in Xbox, but if you are I do a lot more work on the GMM 'mothersite" xboxyde. I post lots of official and non official games videos there.
Kikizo has a nice video collection too.

Not interested in Xbox? I'm interested in pretty much every gaming platform.

Merci pour ces informations.

I use www.gametrailers.com a lot. They update regularly, are free, and also do lots of features and behind the scenes stuff

They also give a choice between quicktime and windows media

About gametrailers, I already downloaded a couple of these ones, I want to get the best quality version. I haven't really checked about bitrate and resolution. What format would be of better quality, Quicktime or Windows media?

 

[123rl]

I prefer quicktime but it can vary from movie to movie. Sometimes WMV looks better and is at a higher resolution. They are usually in 640x480 although they also do some high res and HD videos (wmv) occasionally

The Internet Archive Game Videos Archive has a largish (non-profit archival) collection of around 3,000 replay movies, speed runs, machinima, and so on, including some material you can't find anywhere else:

[Thanks to the Kikizo folks for allowing their older videos to be mirrored there, btw.]

It recently added some fun Retro Core videos showing footage of older games with narrative, including a mammoth 55-game Saturn shooter special:

That is quite alright. And FWIW, I think our arrangement with them is that they get to mirror all of Kikizo's shit after one month of being live on Kikizo. Which I think is pretty fucking nice of us.

Gametrailers often mirror our hotter videos as well.
