HD – Streaming Soon to a Monitor Near You

Can you believe it was barely a year ago when we first launched and 700x394 resolution video was about as good as it got for streaming video with great picture quality?  Neither can we.  Especially in light of the recent announcement about our plans to deliver HD resolution (1280x720) video beginning this summer.

Anyway, having watched several test streams encoded by our chief video guru, I can tell you that the picture quality is absolutely stunning. But, don’t take my word for it; we snagged a couple screenshots for you.

Umm.. the fact that one of them is Evangeline Lilly, who plays Kate in LOST, is purely coincidental.  I swear.

Vista Support is Here!

Told you we were listening!  We've been busy working out the kinks in the installation process for Vista and we think it’s finally ready for you all to give it a try.

As always, send us some Feedback and let us know how it works out.

News, Announcements, Deep Thoughts...

News, definitely.  Announcements, for sure.  Deep thoughts? Well, two out of three isn’t bad.

Welcome to the Developer’s Blog!  Owned and operated by some of the folks behind ABC’s Full Episode Player.  Being the computer, Internet, and digital media geeks that we are, we’ve spent a fair bit of time over the past year (our anniversary was on May 1!) paying pretty close attention to what you, our users, have been saying in your blogs, news articles, feedback emails, etc.  So this is going to be our way to give you feedback on your feedback, make announcements, write about new or upcoming features, or just share stuff that we think is cool and you might too.  Of course, there will be some shameless self-promotion in here too, but probably not too much – after all, there are folks much better at that than us techies.

So, with that said, thanks for being such loyal and vocal users.  We love working on a product that people have really embraced.  We’ll continue to listen to your feedback and promise that, as users ourselves, the user experience will always be a top priority.
