Same here, viewing in the browser is my preferred experience. I like seeing the video in the context of peeps sites and the text of the entry.
And as Andreas stated, when the browser closed the cache is cleared and disk space is recovered. I can't see any reason why one would want to archive copies of other peeps videos, unless of course you are watching them in places you don't have internet access or you're editing a remix. If you're keeping tons of OPV on your disk, you should really ask yourself is you want to. It's like nutters people who save old newspapers, and that's really weird. -- cheers r Deconstructing the status quo, collaboratively my vlog: http://r.24x7.com get great hosting: http://foo.24x7.com On Apr 13, 2006, at 6:26 PM, David Howell wrote: > I was using Fireant but stopped because the last time I used it, it > downloaded the videos and I dont want my drive space to be taken up. > As a result, I'm just using my browser too to watch videos now. > > I have a couple larger external firewire drives that hold my media. > They are rather full right now.
