You're saying about the fact of old aircraft and/or promotional liveries. I got Blue Air's YR-BAE (737-400) at the time is was sporting its Bucharest festival livery. That got rejected for no reason other then "not enough action". I also go a static video complete with interior clips of G-BDXJ the 747-200 at Dunsfold which starred in James Bond - Casino Royalle. That was rejected as well (not enough action).

A week before upload of G-BDXJ I uploaded an EasyJet taxiing to the gate and Ryanair taxiing to the runway both at Berlin and they get accepted although the EasyJet one is complained about in the 2nd post even though it was accepted. How does that work out.

I just don't understand what makes this lot tick and what does not. I really wonder if the rules are made up as they go along.

The best thing this website can do is say this is the rules for any video uploaded after this date (earliest date possible and stringently stick to it). That way we all will read of the same hymn sheet so to speak.

Calm down! I was trying to be helpful, I understand that you're upset and let's see if I can try and explain why. Many of these videos were taken 1-3 years ago, the standards for Jetvideos.net have become more strict.

The reason why you're Ryanair and Easyjet videos got accepted were because the planes were near the runway or had a lot of other planes in the background, which gave the video enough action to be accepted. I'm NOT a videoscreener, so maybe one of them can give you the exact reason why.

My guess is that taxi videos are basically in a hit or miss category, some will make it, some will not, based on subjective reasons, basically it's completely up to the screener. It's the same way for some types of photos on JP.net. Even many other aviation photo sites often must use subjective criteria for some categories of photos (how much clutter in front of an aircraft is okay for a gate photo, is an example).

Try flightlevel350.com or other aviation video sites, to see if your videos are accepted there and then you can best judge whether it's your videos or the site that's the problem.

Sorry if I seemed full on. I got a bit caught up in the case and temporarily lost touch.

On another note thank you for saying something I had suspected. Taxi/Static videos are OK but only as long as certain criteria(s) are met. It would be appreciated if these were published.

As for me this is my last post in this thread and on this subject as I have nothing new to add.

It's very difficult to publish a specific requirement list because a taxi only video's is "USUALLY" of very little interest BUT there can be exceptions:
1. A unique livery "MAY" be of interest "IF" it's not a repeat of previously published video's.
2. A video of an aircraft taxing or parked at a gate or a hard stand "MAY" be acceptable "IF".......

In other words, if it's unique enough, it "MAY" be acceptable. "BUT" the screener is making that determination based on his/her knowledge of existing videos.

One or two video's of an A380 taxing is more than enough. One video of a A320 or 737 is too many, unless there is something unique about the specific aircraft / video.
