Walking this growing baby has been a challenge, especially for Emily, his just as sweet year-old girl. This is a very short story about Serena, the not so serene doggie. Otto the Great Dane is a whole lotta lovin; lbs of it to be exact. Lois his mom loves him, yet didn't like the way he walked. She used to use a Halti snout lead on him.
There is a lot to love about it too! Tyler, a pretty strong guy himself, could only walk Zidan with an evil pincher prong collar…until now.
Mike says it is because it is the first time he has felt in control. Her mom, Louise, used to think that the only way she could control her Pinscher was with a pincher prong collar. Cody happens to be an especially big sled dog; he weighs about lbs. No doubt. Lily is a Greyhound.
They like to chase rabbits. Squirrels too. Cats too. Birds too. Just about anything. Sandy say Lily loves to pull. Lily is a rescue sweetie from Greyhound Friends. Get your greyhounds at www. Stella is just a cute and furry puppy. Live video from a guy in the Bay Area or still pics from a cat in South Carolina? So the EFF responded with a lawsuit seeking damages cash?

That said, given that more and more BBC content will be higher definition in the future, having a format that can be run full-screen would be a major bonus. Something currently lacking on YouTube and GoogleVideo. Introducing DRM crippled non portable crap like this and then pretending its in the "consumers" interest is ill thought out. As a user exclusively of linux I will not be able to view any of the content.
The "DRM" aspect of this venture, limiting consumers to a 7 day window is pointless and artificial, as long is video is viewable it will be copied, this just ensures a two tier system of pirate and non-pirate copies of BBC content.
As a license payer I don't see why the BBC should be able to sell me the content i've already paid for - all BBC content should be available in a non rights managed format. If the BBC is not going to be open and non-restricted then its a commercial organisation and should stop pretending and scrap the license fee.
I'd be concerned about changes to the delivery of video that excluded any user group. The suggestion that Flash or Quicktime should become the exclusive wrapper for video is laughable - what about mobile users? Unmetered data plans together with 3G and 3.
Over the last 5 years I've tried dozens of times to install Real Player, but it's never worked satisfactorily possibly because I object strongly to it's constant attempts to "call home", which I block with good old Sygate Personal Firewall. Not impressed by Real Player - complete pants!
On Windows, WMP [everyone's got it]. All Mac users have it and if you're using Linux then you've a fair idea how to get it - right ;. Do us all a favour and ditch the crud that is Real Player. That's right, it's only been popular and successful because some users already have flash.
If they would have picked WMV as the format, it would be as or more popular - just because of Windows' Monopoly. But we'll never know how well they would've done if all their videos were in an open format like Ogg Theora. As far as I can see, the BBC has choosen Real and WM formats because they can limit them to streaming only, as in, it's more difficult to download and keep rm files than it is to capture flv files.
The BBC has massive control over what people use on their computers, can't they do something right for a change? Pick an open format. I think this is unlikely but as these are the only codecs that aren't burdened with patents and poor or a complete lack of documentation they are the only options that are perfect for ALL platforms.
And whilst I'm on Is it to mimic the likes of CNN and Fox? Flash is perhaps without signficant load times but shockingly bad quality. BBC is moving towards whole programs on the net, i personally couldnt face viewing them in youtube-esque low res. Flash simply isnt designed for video, its designed for vector graphics. As a fair assumption is that peoples bandwith will increase with time i reckon that wmp is as good a format as any, perhaps with a flash offering for the bandwidth impaired?
Ditch realplayer though, the advertising is just too invasive. More UNIX support. You would do well supporting open standards in audio and video transport. Flash would be sucky, although it would provide better cross platform support than Real. Provide the stream, have your own site based player but let other people develop a stream front-end if they wish.
Just a thought,. Considering you are meant to be a public service, I still can't fathom why the video is released in proprietary formats.
Formats which actually force people to use particular companies products, I assume they aren't giving you any financial incentive for this? Why not actually provide a service everyone can easily use and release them in a standards compliant format like MPEG? I see many people are asking for Flash another proprietary which doesn't actually provide versions for the type of computer I own. At the risk of sounding like so many of the other BBC-moaners, please spend my TV licence on something that I can actually watch.
As this seems to have turned into a "vote for the format you desire" discussion - add another vote for MPEG please don't lock out those who do not wish to use Flash like 4OD has. I am a student at 6th form college studying computing and business studies. This is not possible with any other format. And on the contrary to other comments complaining about buffering problems, Windows Media Player 10 has no buffering problems at all on my computer or on college computers.
Yet RealPlayer 10 keeps stopping every few seconds to buffer. Couldn't the BBC do this too? I would be willing to pay for broadband content from the BBC and I'm sure there are thousands of others who would too.
The only way I can get it right now seems to be via BBC World on realplayer which requrires the "Realplayer Superpass" which is very costly and very unreliable. I think the BBC has a large untapped source of income which it seems unwilling to exploit.
Why OH why always these proprietory media players of flash, real player or windows media?? Most internet radio stations use MP3's.. I have to go and " borrow " someones satellite connection to listen.. I had the "Flash" player installed on my machine but had to remove it because it lacked an independent volume control and because some sites that ues it for blaring ads.
Since I need the volume set to a certain level for working Flash posed more of an inconvience than a benefit. Business that operate their site as a Flash required site just simply lose my business. When I've told sites that I won't be dealing with their web site because the Flash player doesn't have a global volume setting normaly respond with just turn down the volume on your system even though I've told them that I need it left at a specific level.
QuickTime, QuickTime, QuickTime please or Flash, but don't saddle us with Microsoft mediocrity and leave the increasing Mac population out in the cold. Fingers crossed that BBC will move away from horrible formats that don't work very well on "non-standard" platforms. I don't want to make a cable company rich just so I can watch your fine programming.
If people want to pirate content, they will anyway. I hope the iPlayer works out. The IMP was a failure which made many people angry. I hope this offering is better, more usable, and available to everybody.
Another vote for Flash, please Also - I'm really pleased you've remembered about the annoying Video tab on the homepage not remembering to stay shut. I remembered you'd made that promise the other day, and was going to mail and remind someone about it Flash Flash Flash!! Real Player is no longer the top dog it used to be being a web developer I work with these technologies all day, everyday. I can watch CNN, Reuters etc any time of the day without buffering problems, yet the BBC jerks, stops, pixelates, and basically ruins the whole viewing experience.
What adds insult to injury, is the fact that the only reason I have the invasive Real Player installed on my system is for the BBC and no other website! Surely the BBC can save money on Real Player license fees and put the money into a more effective distribution method.
I rate the BBC's online viewing experience as the worst on the net!! This is because of the delivery method, not the content. I've been meaning to say this for quite some time, and feel much better now.
Thank you. I would like to add my vote to the many above, regarding a shift from the current media player technology. People want more open standards.
There are plenty examples of these standards being professional. I may want to read about the story rather than listening or watching it. I may be in a place where I can't listen to audio which makes video pretty useless. The BBC always used to pride itself on being a universal broadcaster. It would have been inconceivable that the BBC would have started a service that would only work with one brand of receivers, but not with others.
But since the BBC signed the memorandum of understanding with Microsoft, there has been a trend away from universally compatible standards towards formats that only work on Microsoft's operating system. It's quite unacceptable that one manufacturer's products should be exclusively supported while others are excluded and that's certainly not how the BBC should operate.
As a national Broadcaster, the BBC should have certain principles and being universally accessible should be very high on that list of principles. If the BBC chooses not to be universally accessible, then it needs to be funded in a way that is not universally paid. I would have thought that it would be beneficial for the BBC to be seen to be as universal as possible and restrict it's products to be viewed solely on Microsoft's systems.
You are supposed to be a public service, however, although I use a modern computer I am forced to use Real Player to view the majority of content as I refuse to use WMP as it involves using it in the main with ActiveX, the most unsecure technology known.
I use Real Player begrudgingly with all options turned off , although the picture quality is mediocre at best. In 88, I omitted a 'not' from my final line. I hope that I don't need to point out precisely where it was intended to be. I'm another who would like clearer links to the text versions of articles, and who hopes the BBC never moves towards providing web content solely in video or audio formats.
Use flash. Suggestions of Ogg codecs etc. I back the call for open source. Forget Flash, the little lemmings that go for it just because trendy social sites use it are not people to take seriously. Like one of your other posters, I too have worked in IT for over 25 years and know the value of open source and the place it leads to. Flash has always been a hate of mine as it is abused on nearly every site you go to. Waiting 60 or more seconds for some marketing garbage to load just so you can click "enter site" is the ultimate insult to a surfer.
If you use Flash on your site your marketers will avail of it and alienate many visitors, make no mistake. Real player is horrible, tries to encourage you to buy rather than use their free version, the free version pesters you to allow it to be your preferred player, and is just a general pain.
I would just like to have a video link launch a video, and nothing on the side. If Realplayer is to stay, then I would very much like the video link I click to launch straight into the Realplayer app. I don't care for other stories or video links. BBC already has a good thing going with the open development of the DIRAC codec which can be made available for ALL platforms because it's open source therefore it can be recompiled onto any platform and then made available for anyone to use and redistribute.
It's already being made available to us Linux users via repositories on a number of distros. This should be the way to go as it would be an easier installation process than RealPlayer currently is and would enable the BBC to host the codec on their own site for downloads rather than having to link to RealPlayer's website.
Yes, but the very reason these "trendy social sites" use Flash is that it works best. It reaches the most people. It does not carry "bloatware". It just works. Those calling for open-source: this is all very well, and I understand the point.
Open source formats are ideal, if you know what you're doing. But for the average computer user, whose default setup does not recognise. Please have a little commercial reality. Finally: Flash is not a flash in the pan. Every Windows and Mac computer I have come across in the last 5 years has been able to play Flash. A lot more than can be said for Real, certainly.
They offer decent rates of compression and picture quality and are available to users of most Operating Systems rather than just the big three Windows, Linux and MacOS. It is called 'Media Player Classic'. Have a look and see what you think.
