This all got me curious enough to download FF 3.1. First, I liked the simplicity of the Transparency Camp website and the organization of the videos.
But I had problems with buffering/stuttering even though I was on a high speed DSL at over 1 mBs. I could not hold sync. Does the player put a load on the computer? I am using a Mac on 10.4 with a DP 1 gig G4 machine. Flash and Quicktime play fine on the same system. Other questions. What is the advantage of Ogg for us content creators who are not large enough by any means to have to worry about licensing fees? I'm all for open system software, but H.264 and FLASH are pretty close with a modest purchase cost. I liked how simple the code was, but is that just the new HTML 5 in FF or Ogg? But thanks for putting the site up like that so we could try it out! Stan Hirson http://PinePlainsViews.com
