OT; Is this why Apple says Blue Ray who

I forgot to mention that they will stream your HD too,,,, for FREE…

While impressive quality, it choked a total of 8 times on my T1 connection. Also most of my clients need a DVD or HD DVD to distribute content that can be played for digital projection or high res monitor, not just look at once on their computer screen.

Chris,

I don’t know about your T1 connection, but on my WOW cable hook up, using my 2.4 MacBook Pro (4gb ram) it did not choke at all,,, and I had it repeating itself for a couple hours at 1,700kbps..

And I expected it to choke… not at all ,,,, that is what is amazing……. at that grade level…

And yes distribution is the name of this game,,, any where in the world,, when they want to view it…

at full screen HD………

Lots of choking here, and I have the highest internet speed available in my area.

There are no “technical solutions” to your “artistic problems”.
Don’t let technology get in the way of your creativity!

Started instantly and didn’t even hiccup on my Charter 3mb/sec connection.

You might want to jump on over to speedtest.net and see what kind of speed you really have. Any cable connection should have no problem with that bit rate. If you have slow DSL though…

[Craig Seeman]

There are others

Any CableModem should handle 1700kbps as well as faster DSL. In my area fast DSL is 3000kbps and CableModem starts at 5000kbps. I have 30,000kbps.

It doesn’t replace delivering on disc though but I suspect more people have fast DSL or CableModem than Blu-ray players at the moment.

I have AT&T DSL and it played flawlessly at fullscreen.
I’m going to check this out. I use xprove right now, but this site plays higher quality.

Chris

the days of actually handing or biking or fedexing a client something physical are over. You know it, I know it, But the DVD doesnt know it.

If i could compress a full screen movie directly to a streaming server, it saves me at least 3 minutes per finished minute to make approval copies, and i dont have to worry about a fingerprint making the dvd skip, i would find a way to get clients to go this way.

and yes this is why apple sez whats a blu ray?

All very very impressive…

Some clients will go for this but some still want that DVD in hand to watch whenever and wherever they want. Personally, this is an awesome concept for client previews.
