Some users have mentioned badges for watching video and crunching workunits. Since I'm not a graphic artist but if any users wanted to submit some potential badges I'd be happy to use them. :) If you want, post suggestions here!

Maybe somebody should take the time to post a suggestion that he make some more BOINC WU's available. :)

I said something but was told to quit Complaining, that the purpose of the Project was to watch Videos, if I want to watch Videos I'll hit the local Porn Store ... :D ... I would think you would have to run Wu's to make the Videos available but maybe I'm wrong about that & just complaining again ... X_X

I think (total wild a.. guessing...) that what the project is doing is having humans flag motion events in the same videos as the WU's are reviewing. In order to improve motion detection algorithms in the WU's. So the WU's look at the video, then we have to wait (I'll keep guessing) for the humans to review and tag the same videos.

That was my take on it too. Since it requires humans to review all the data, there will always be a shortage, at least until the algorithms get to the point where the humans are only needed to review specific videos.
