<< "Build it size 38D, and they will come!">> Gives new meaning to TA analysis. ( couldn't resist.)

Hi, BAM I would like to suggest that perhaps there are some additional reasons for the poor quality of the TV onthe Web's video presentation. First as you have already indicated, there are bandwidth limitations, secondly there could be some limiting factors imposed by the video players, e.g. Real Player..etc. which creates the annoying buffering problem. In addition, recall that Ed B has stated that this "prototype" (my words) was to hone the skills and gain experience in presentations on the Web, thereby establishing an early and recognizable presence, such that when the bandwidth does become available, Ampex and its strategic partners will be well positioned for to move rapidly into a pervasive leadership role. With the above perspective in mind, the video presentation does not seem so devastating to me. Obviously there is additional work to be done. Anyway, this is just IMHO. Thanks! DrD

Got my RealPlayer on pause, so this won't be long. I actually have a good picture on the replay of Victoria's Secret (I think I even discovered her "secret"). It's only barely (no pun intended) jerky - pretty smooth, actually. Sound isn't bad either. Were you watching live? That would make a difference. I couldn't find a way to make the screen bigger. On ZDTV, also using RealPlayer, I was able to bump it up half and full screen. Not as clear, but better than I thought it would be. Re: "Build it 38D and they will come", hey, build it 3D and they'll never leave! Anyone have any thoughts on the possibilities of 3D on the PC? With or without funny glasses. David
