The actual site itself is very nice, IMHO (not that I had anything
to do with it!)
Shame. I love the idea of digging into blackadder and jeeves and
wooster and all the other comedy greats -- but getting them in a
format that is at least somewhat representative of their quality.
Sucks that I'd have to stream it.... certainly encoding into divx
or mpg would show some understanding of the marketspace.
I'm not sure what you mean when you suggest encoding as divx or mpg
would show an understanding of the marketplace. It is unfortunately
not quite so simple.
This is a limited, fixed length trial that will hopefully lead to a
Public Value Test. Surely then it makes sense to make use of the
BBC's existing Real/WM infrastructure to deliver the content?

Disclaimer: I work at the BBC but not on the Archive Trial. I do
however work in a related area and have had limited access to a pre-
trial version of the site. I really like what I've seen so far and
would encourage anyone who is thinking about it to sign up for the
trial before it fills up. My views are of course my own and not
necessarily those of my employer.
