Other Rebuttal to BDickuss' negative comment BDickuss posted above that we divide our videos into shorter segments. We do do this (between 7 and 15 mins for new videos, older ones are between 3 and 5 mins, as less people had broadband in those days). We do get complaints about this, but we get just as many complaints that the segments we break videos down into are too BIG, and we should break them up more! It's a tough problem, and there's no easy solution. We already have two versions of every video (WMV and MPG), making even more is a LOT of work, and we prefer to spend our energy on making new content, rather than providing our existing content in dozens of different formats and lengths. To fix these problems (and address some other ones), we're going to be adding a streaming format to our site (possibly flash video), which will allow users to jump around a video stream, or play the entire thing, with actual streaming. This will also satisfy the people deamnding genuine streaming videos (currently our videos are of so high quality, that they often cannot be "streamed" (really, watched while they are being downloaded)). We agree that the current system is not perfect. If someone has a better solution, we're all ears! Reply To News |
