Travel Videos Spore project will be a place for video recordings of roads, streets, journeys, places of attractions, etc. It is to be a video version of Mapillary. A video site for travel recordings is a missing useful project.
Upload
- Videos recorded should be uploaded to commons.wikimedia.org
- Use https://video2commons.toolforge.org/ to convert to a Commons compatible format. The preferred video format is VP9 video in the WebM container.
- Add any subcategory of Commons:Category:Videos of places
- It may also be uploaded to Youtube.com under a Creative Commons license
- Later, the video can also be uploaded to Mapillary or other streetview photo service to convert into imagery

Features

- Geolocation can be added later as well
- Some camera apps can record GPS location as well, but might be buggy. So the community can add gps later manually
- The videos uploaded can later be uploaded to street view services as well
