[videoblogging] Re: Forget Apple TV - What about the Nintendo Wii ??

I'd suspect gaming-related or nintendo-related content (video) is an easier sell to the console owners than run of the mill web video they can get on youtube anyway. I lose much sleep over this, heh. ER --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, "Frank Sinton" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I was mos

[videoblogging] Re: Forget Apple TV - What about the Nintendo Wii ??

I was mostly worried about watching video and if this was an easy path to the TV. There are 17+ million Wii owners out there, which is way higher than Apple TV or even the iPhone. The other interesting factor is that the Wii is opening up a whole different demographic that is buying game consoles.

[videoblogging] Re: Forget Apple TV - What about the Nintendo Wii ??

I'll be testing Vimeo on these consoles, only since I don't personally want to move backwards in production quality. I'm on the TV, maybe on a home theater, I want HIGHER rez and prod quality, not less. That's my preference for the living room (and why I hate the Apple TV)... I want to make those H

Thats fine for creating video, but I the issue here is watching video, even streaming video needs to be cashed somewhere while it's being streamed from the Internet, it seems that thats the problem with the Wii. As near as I can tell there isn't any way to create and post video from the Wii.

Hey Frank, I've had a Wii for a while now and it's not the best platform for watching Internet mainly because I think that there is some memory limitation to it. If you try to watch a bunch of youtube videos in a row or a longer form video on Google Video it will crash after about 20 or 30 m

[videoblogging] Re: Forget Apple TV - What about the Nintendo Wii ??

Okay, FAIL on my forum skills, I missed your original post. One thing I didn't clarify is that while the Wii has crap for storage, it falls into the 'streamy' category of things like present-day iPhones. There's a series of radio stations I listen to that are streamed via flash, and it works up un

[videoblogging] Re: Forget Apple TV - What about the Nintendo Wii ??

Biggest problem with Wii is minimal storage, whereas 360 and PS3 have drives. I've been working on various content delivery to the devices (Xbox is exception- no browser), and I've loved downloading media directly to the hard drive on the PS3. And yeah, Youtube works great as do many iPhone apps.

[videoblogging] Re: Forget Apple TV - What about the Nintendo Wii ??

you can but mainly only Youtube right now, because the Wii is using Flash 7 I think?but I did find a way on Cnet to do something pretty neat with the Wii, a media stream device, download "Orb" and then use the Wii to watch videos or listen to music, I have yet to try it out but plan to soon
