Yep, the vid title is a big sterotype for me. When I see things like "Wake Me Up Inside Inuyasha" or something with not even a title, just a song-anime combo, "Trigun - Chop Suey", I kind of assume it may not be so great.Kai Stromler wrote:

I usually operate on this assumption, as well as the "character+numbers username principle"Kalium wrote:One of mine is assuming that any video where the editor doesn't seem able to write coherently (and can't or doesn't claim linguistic difficulties) is probably bad.
The only thing is, I don't consider judging on communication skills to be irrational.
Making amvs is a fairly complex process, at least on the technical side, and requires at least some degree of ability to understand information like that in the guides, and to ask informed questions about the difficult parts. Someone who can't communicate efectively for whatever reason aside from language barriers is quite a bit less likely to clearly comprehend the anwers give to their questions, or turn out a quality amv.
It works the other direction as well. A DBZ/Inuyasha/Naruto named poster who communicates clearly and effectively will probably be given the benefit of the doubt.
MJ makes a good point about the video names as well. I've thought along the same lines about really uncreative video names too.
Still, he is one person who might be able to pull it off. I'd download a video by MJ if it was called "Kagome-Waking Up with Inuyasha Inside Me"

Mine is generally if the video is in WMV, period. Regardless of filesize. And like Rozard said, that was learned largely from experience. I've only found a couple of WMV-formatted videos that were worth the bandwidth it took to download them, so I generally avoid them. Inconsequently this also leads to a disproportionate amount of 4s and 5s in stars for me, but that has nothing to do with the format, just the liklihood of good videos being in AVI or MPEG-1; I think it's pretty safe to assume that most creators that use WMV edit with WMM, and have painfully little experience when it comes to editing.
Spee1in9 and gramr isa nuter big 1 4 ME!!!!!!!. I generally stay away from videos from creators that talk in internet shorthand or otherwise bad English all the time (if they don't speak English natively it's forgivable, but they should at least try). My impression on this is if the creator doesn't take the time to know how to use the very language they speak properly, why should I expect their editing (which is a complex concept as well) to be any better? Not to mention there is often a lot of overlap between this and point 1.
I also tend to avoid first videos. Again, this comes from experience, even though I have been surprised a few times.

people who don't use capitalization are lazy and deleterious to society.
hmm, people who misspell, miss articles of speech, and use wrong verb tense are usually foreign language speakers. people who misspell, miss articles of speech, and use wrong verb tense and act like jerks are usually english-speaking pre-adolescents.
dbz in a vid => angsty action vid.
is all i can think of.
