"Is this thing on? 1 2 3 test"

You may notice that the smaller videos now can be resized to 150% to help with viewing without fullscreen. Just click on the magnifying glass besides the video player. I wonder how many of you still use small screens?
You can also turn backlights off and enjoy a cinema ambience by clicking on the little lightbulb! Hope you like these petty features.
Maybe more features to come (unannouced), keep watching!

Absolute Re-encode

If you happen to think that all the streamed movies now look better than before, it's because they do!

Thanks to CyberShadow, every SD movie was re-encoded from the original video file using the H.264 video and AAC audio codecs in an MP4 container. This resulted in higher quality than their previous FLV/F4V versions. File sizes have even decreased a little on average, so the switch was well worth it.

Now please, sit back and enjoy!

Website Upgrade

The site has gone under a long due major upgrade, as you may have already noticed.
In order to catch up with these times, some new features were introduced like video galleries, thumbnails, movie search, etc., but the most important part is that the website looks much better now. :) Or at least I hope so.

Also, you may switch between the available website skins at anytime by changing the skin option at the bottom of the page.
Alright, browse around, choose a movie, sit back and enjoy!

High Definition, Baby!

WormTube goes HD!

This feature will stream the high-quality video file (the same one accessible through the "Download" link). However, due to Flash restrictions, this is only possible for the H.264 / MP4 codec/file format combination. Movie authors, use H.264 if you'd like your new movies to appear in HD on WormTube! (You may use another container for H.264, e.g. Matroska or M4V, and I'll remux it for you.) Similarly, if you still have the master (raw) from your movie, you could re-encode it for HD support - let me know.

As for existing movies, only a few movies qualify for HD (among which, notably, OutofOrder's Movie of Earth, Fire, Air and Water). Adding HD quality to other movies would mean either reencoding the full versions (which would mean quality loss due to the reencode), or hosting two high-quality versions of videos, nearly doubling the required disk space - neither of these are worth the small commodity of watching the high-quality versions in your web browser.
