Hey Chris, Showing ads do require us to run some extra code, which can potentially distract your computer from the core task of loading, decompressing and displaying the video.
That said, the impact shouldn't be all that noticeable. If you drop me an e-mail off-list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) with a link to some specific examples I can see if there's something else going on with your videos. -----Original Message----- From: videoblogging@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chris Sent: Saturday, March 15, 2008 7:43 PM To: videoblogging@yahoogroups.com Subject: [videoblogging] Re: Do Blip and Revver ads increase buffering times? Well, I turned the Blip ads off, even the postroll ads, and now everything runs smoothly again. Which is great, because when people come to my site I want them to be able to view a nice, big, crisp, smooth running version of the show. The downside, of course, is now I won't make a penny when people watch the show on my site. I still have to work the kinks out of that one. I don't so much mind if the video plays herky-jerky on other sites (I TubeMoguled the crap out of it), I just want it looking great on my URL. Where are some good places to post the Revver version and make a few extra sheckels? Thanks for your two cents, Rox. I need all I can get. ;) Chris Burdick http://www.myspace.com/necropol Penelope can run... but her stockings run faster: http://penelopespantyhose.com --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, "Roxanne Darling" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I do not have ads turned on for Blip and I find slow loading is an issue. > It is definitely slower than when we managed our own server, to the point > that many people have contacted me.
