QUESTION: wmvHD video distribution via The Web
wmvHD is a beautiful way to distribute good, HD content via the Web...
The codec looks great when the video has been lit right at princ-photog
QUESTION: Why do you guys think it hasn't really caught on with the mainstream web public?
Is it...
1) File size still too big?
2) Computers too slow to play wmvHD files?--- or Monitor/Resolution to small to really grasp the HD concept?
3) Microsoft hasn't marketed the concept/codec enough that people know what it actually is?
4) Not enough video producers shooting in HD/HDV in order to offer the wmvHD content?
Any other ideas??? What do you think??
It is April, 2006 and I daily search the Web for wmvHD content and I am amazed that there is so little of it. In fact...It's mostly still promos and bullcrap.
1 hour of wmvHD would be about 2gigs file size... I think HDTV connoseurs would have no problem waiting to download 2gigs... I routinely download 1gig to 5gig files... Like Ron Popeal says "Just Set IT and Forget IT!"
It can't be the cost of bandwidth...as it may have been in the past... Bandwidth is cheap... I pay about 10 cents per gig of bandwidth transferred... so... sending an hour of video out would cost me 20 pennies.
Looking forward to hearing everyone's opinions...
