for all the people jumping on the HD bandwagon
 

We got a email today from a customer having to cancel because he couldnt watch the videos on webtv. Yep everyone is on broadband lol

People still use WEBTV?

my aunt still uses it and she works for IBM lol

Actually I though Microsoft bought webTv and was planning on relaunching it.

is webtv still around?

Yeah, WebTV,
then WebTV 2000,
then WebTv Pro,
then WebTvX,
then just XTV,
then XpTv,
then XpTvPRO,
then MSX Tv,
then the'ye going to license it to Apple.

Web TV = probably 0.000001 % of the customers thought

:1orglaugh

wtf is webtv?!?!

yea, lets worry about the 0.1% of the internet users who use it...

It's not just webtv.. I see hits to my stuff of people using PSP cell phones etc.. I'm always amazed at how many companies leave a lot of money on the table while chasing the smaller high tech consumers.. This is porn.. it has nothing to do with high tech, it has everything to do with making money.

Shoot in HDV and it compresses down to Mpeg2. Feed that Mpeg2 into your software as you capture and it has to recompress just to edit. Or else you downconvert out of the camera and recompress to the DV codec. Next you output and recompress to a 1MB and now you call it "HD" :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Oh well, if it makes you and extra buck marketing to idiots then I guess it is a good thing.

I'll market to HD and you can have the webtv market
