See.. perfect... Now if only big media could follow suit. I'm so damn sick of steaming media files that don't stream don't play and aren't downloadable or linkable or referenceable. I tried to check out that Mena Trott video on CBS (off mena trotts blog) and it was infuriating. Didn't work on safari or firefox. I think... what would be FARRRR more effective is either a) flash, or b) a downloadable mpeg4 with a CBS watermark, maybe the url on the final frame... and heh... if they want to get crazy a little cbs.com ad spot or 3rd party sponsorship after the video and before the url and credits on the final frame. I mean.... I know there's "streaming infrustructure stuff" there... but that's just B.S. We're all experts here in moving media... the issue is not "efficiency" it's usability and accessibility for craps sake. come on, am I talking crazy talk here?
