max84 Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Man, how come they still don't have HD webcasts like Apple does? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/371382-bill-gates-keynote-at-the-microsoft-pdc/#findComment-586517401 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BajiRav Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Man, how come they still don't have HD webcasts like Apple does? 586517401[/snapback] Apple's webcast are not in HD, they are just using H.264 for encoding. :rolleyes: Try the latest one for nano, max you get is 640x360 I think. In fact my iBook G4 (<1 yr) can't play most of the HD stuff on QT's website. it would be foolish to force HD when their laptop line + mac mini can barely handle the load.

You're right. But 640x360 H.264 is still miles better than a crappy 300kbps stream. Microsoft, the big game player, could at least manage a 700kbps stream. All the HD stuff works fine on my laptop. But then again, I have no Apple. Though I tried them out in the Apple Store here in London. And it works fine.
