On2
(video) (02/24/00)
Only slowly emerging from
stealth mode, this dotcom
seems to have the best quality
streaming video out there -- way
better than any Real or
WindowsMedia clips you'll find,
plus, some original content at
last, although somewhat
self-conscious "E.T" type
content it is, complete with
regular TV ads in-between.
The On2 experience requires a
firmly windows-platform setup,
with a downloaded plugin for
their video compression, and
shockwave, and a healthy dose
of tips and instructions for those
whose plugin downloads don't
go well, or whose browsers barf.
Those who cannot sustain
300-500kbps need not apply.
There is a lot to explore here. A
fuller review will appear about
On2 soon.. probably on our
home page.
-----------------------------------
when I wrote the DLSReports Editor
regarding ONT back in January,
this was the reply;
Yes I know about on2. They wanted to hire me and buy the site ;)
I played with the demo back in November, before the msg boards got
it.. possibly it was the last chance to buy their stock at $15, it has had
a good run. Of course when they launch, I will make it a feature article.
regards.
