But support for double clicking a replay and directly watching that replay instead of throwing it in your maps folder or loading into BWchart and autoreplaying would be great. | ||

People are against it because it's infeasible. Replay files are simply a record of player actions. To translate player actions into actual graphics, you need the SC2 engine, no real way around it. If you're running an SC2 engine app to watch replays, isn't that the same as watching them in the game? | ||

But support for double clicking a replay and directly watching that replay instead of throwing it in your maps folder or loading into BWchart and autoreplaying would be great. Boxers comments refered to just a straight upload of replays. The reasons include that you would be able to view from anyones perspective or put the camera where you want and really analyse both players builds and their play methods. If they were to create some kind of a system where you can 'record' a commentators viewpoint and have the streamed replays only accessible from this perspective then there would be no such objection. It would be no different than watching a commentated vid on tv (maybe without the speach tho cuz I don't think they are allowing recording of external audio on release). When you click the upload button it would just give some checkboxes -Enable first person -Enable observer mode (free camera) -Enable commentated camera (for the pre-recorded camera for the comentary) -Allow download (if off then it can only ve viewed but not saved). This would be way better than anything youtube can produce, because the quality is only limited by your own pc's power. -- On a seperate note I had an idea for replays in SC2 in general. When playing against another player they might be able to tick a box which makes it so that if you save the replay of the game you played with them it is encoded to your b.net account. So you can't give the replay to other people, it would only be viewable when logged on with your account. | ||

You can still host a game with the replay, and a friend can join and watch. The only thing it blocks out is that friend watching it by himself, or handing out to other people.

They could just upload it to youtube and it would still get out there. Or there are a thousand ways they could bypass the account-specific locks on the replay. | ||

Starcraft II client will have the ability to play replays in all the ways you say with the small file size. This is because it stores all the graphics and cinematics on your computer then just has a simple file that tells them how to interact where as youtube is truely video based you would not be able to view them on youtube in a small file size without the game installed and at the point just put the replay in your folder and watch it. It doesnt even make replays easier to find since basically all youtube would be is a replay database site which there are already plenty of. Basically the idea here does nothing lol | ||

And you should be able to put some small vids of yours, customize, etc, in your ACC page. Yes, SC facebook. | ||

Also I thought the OP was implying that the replays would be video files, not an actual replay file (e.g a dedicated video site just for sc vids like fpvods). If it is the act of viewing an actual replay file on a youtube like site then this thread fails. There are so many problems with this even when not considering the technical aspects. | ||

The idea is that everything will be online driven and even be watchable from a TV which can access the internet. What about watching a match in HD on your TV screen? ._. The idea is to have an easy way to watch a replay with a single click of a button. Save time, no need to download anything explicitly, no need to look up the right program to start or switch windows. The easy way of closing the viewer like you do with any browser window/tab, or just scroll out of view. The simple way of scrolling over the time line (not possible in starcraft nummero uno). Sure as hell would be convenient to have that all. | ||
