I have used their service, and it cost me about 2000 $ to get my website built (exact figure should be 1950$).

It was finished about a year ago.


Now, after about 200 videos, it was no longer possible to import videos.

I haven't used that function for about 3-4 months, so I just found out 10 days ago.



The video import function never worked properly, I was always under the impression that the programmers were really not able to program the tasks.


The whole importing function made a very sloppy impression.

There were always errors when trying to import videos. It was never error-free. Since the video import still seemed to function, I just accepted that.



I myself had to figure out that when importing flv-videos directly, instead of trying to convert them from the wmv-format, the video import seems to function again. Although it can hardly be called an import in this case, it's just a link!


As if it is my job to figure these things out!! Any halfway decent video script should be able to import even the most bizarre of video files. I have only used the very straightforward wmv-format, which should certainly not cause any crash in any video script.


Even after figuring this out, the member's area has the most basic problems, the movie length is not displayed correctly, every movie is being displayed as 34 minutes 28 seconds (which of course is wrong).



The voting function (it allows people to vote on videos) seems to be functioning, but only after cardinal vices fixed it.

And it certainly hasn't been used very heavily, I mean the most we've gotten are may be 2-3 votes per video (and it already broke down once).



I wouldn't even expect the programmers to "come back" and fix issues on the website, 1 year after it has been finished.


But why would you even accept this project, if clearly you are not able to program it?


There have been other issues, like e.g. the completion of the website was weeks behind the scheduled date, I have to figure out the bugs and test the video import function, instead of them.

I did receive a discount on the total price, because of the late completion.


In short, I have now spent 2000$ on my website, and now there are paying customers that have a member's area where the video length is not displayed correctly!

Even the cheapest of tube sites gets that right!



I never agreed to sponsor a project, where you guys experiment to try to program your own video script!!!

If you knew that you couldn't do it, may be you should have simply bought a functioning one?

I'm sure there are plenty available for the price of 2000$?


I'm sure you will agree that e.g. a script like mechbunny is a little bit better programmed than yours?



And besides the (bogus) video player / video importer, what exactly have you done?


I mean, the site will probably not win awards in terms of the design?

People can make up their own minds about that: www dot amazinghotmovies dot com

[gimme-website]

Ive had a good look around your site. Its shit.....

The design.. you don't have one.

Now concidering cardinal vices make the bold claim that they are the best designers on this forum... I think they have some explaining to do. WHy did you charge this man 2k for that crock OF SHIT????? Its better than zuzannas work but not by much....
HA.. yeah i said it! YUr shit girl.

Give the guy his money back. You Obv dont know what you are doing and using your client base as a "free education".

If there was a lot, and I mean a lot of back end programing then maybe, but if that doesn't work then you were overcharged about $1,975.
That is a poor gallery design at best.

This my friend is a complete and full bullshit. Because I didn't claim anything you mentioned above, and I have a proof of that. You are a liar.

[cardinalvices]

I feel obligated to reply to this statement, mainly from the unhappy customer, and not to the trolls that pose here as ultimate judges of design and peacekeeping.

Customer did indeed experience issues with his custom built backend script, but it was not due to the fact that there was something wrong with our software. Its just that every software needs to be updated from time to time to coop with changes in other segments. In this case third party software elements needed to be updated to the latest version to coop with codecs used in the source video files. I hope that FreewayRick would confirm that in the recent future.

[cardinalvices]

As for the design, the chose of design was made to make it work with the custom build backend. We wanted to concentrate attention on the movies, rather than fancy cookie cut graphics. Plus custom built backend that was managing video conversion to flash, sorting of the movies, displaying of the movies on the tour, and generating header graphics from the movie screenshots, plus a few more additinal minor features.

Because backend is dynamically changing content on the frontpage, there are certain limitations to its looks. Sorry trolls.

We aint friends. IM your rival/your competition. If you go bust.. i throw a party. That's how it is. And the only reason your replying to this thread.. is becuase i told you that you had trouble on the bourds.

Yes i think I did make an error reading your ICQ messages. The problem is caused by a third party plug-in... not your script.

SO yeah i appologize for that..

IM not gonna appologize for saying you aint as good as you claim.
You are NOT the best designers on this board. Your not even in the top 20.

IM darth vader in a mini skirt.... get used to it.

C'mon, a sexy monsterina is perhaps what you're trying to say.

Sorry for the late response, I did have some things to do.


The problem was indeed fixed. I'm not sure if it was just the codec update, but the video importing worked fine.

However, I don't think it's something worth celebrating. It took about 14 days to get rid of this problem.

Who knows if it would've been fixed if it wasn't for the pressure I created, e.g. through this post.

Would a well-programmed CMS simply have collapsed because FFMPEG had not been updated?

I have no idea, I'm not an expert.

But it certainly seems like a question worth asking.


Up until the last video import there were constantly tons of error messages. They didn't have an effect on the functionality of the website. But it really didn't seem well-programmed. I worked with at least 10 different video importing systems. The one at amazinghotmovies.com certainly ranks as the worst.

I always had the impression the entire video importing function was on the brink of collapsing.



It does seem like a good thing that they would even help me out, more than 1 year after the site was completed. There never was an agreement that Cardinal Vices would take care of maintenance after the site is completed.

On the other hand, as others have agreed, the value of the design would be close to 0.

The CMS functioned for the vast majority of the time (despite a bad impression and constant error messages).

The website had a voting function, which allowed users to vote on every video.

It didn't work for some time, but was fixed.


In conclusion, I would say the CMS should have a value of 500$, considering the voting system etc. may be 1000$. Still seems like I paid way too much.

But I do not demand a refund.


It would have seemed like a much better option to go with a tube script like mechbunny. I would guess that such scripts are more reliable and better programmed.

However, I was completely unaware of this option at the point in time I decided to open amazinghotmovies.com

That's the end of the story...amazinghotmovies.com is now being closed, for reasons that have nothing to do with Cardinal Vices, or the programming of the website.

I'm quite sure we agreed on a payment for the design, as well as "tour pages".
