One of the biggest challenges for a burgeoning Internet Television network is dealing with the multiple ways our viewers watch and enjoy our show. We’ve been proud to be a leader in the space in terms of supporting numerous file formats, from Quicktime to WMV to XVid, and supporting however our viewers want to get their shows, be it via iTunes or Miro, RSS or Bittorrent, we try to support everyone.
However, a growing number of you have been watching our shows here on Revision3.com via our flash player! We love the fact that so many of you do this as it provides for the most complete experience, as you can watch the show, read the show notes and then head over to to the forums to talk about the episode. That said, we’ve begun to start improving the flash player that delivers our video to you via the website. For those of you familiar with with flash development, you can understand that this can be a pretty big undertaking, so it’s going to take some time - but we have released a smaller update that many of you on slower Internet connections will probably appreciate.
Now, when viewing an episode on Revision3.com, you’ll notice a switch on the bottom right (see below image highlighted in red) that allows you to control the video quality between Low and High. Those of you who are on a 768k or lower speed connection, you might want to consider trying the Low Quality, which should load faster for you.
This is the first small improvement to our flash player experience and you can defnitely expect more to come throughout 2008. If you have any thoughts or suggestions of what we should do to improve/change our flash player, please leave a comment below.
thanks.

Thanks a million!! This works wonderful for me and I’m sure anyone else with lower bandwidth. I now don’t have to stop a daily show like Tekzilla or Lil’ Internet Superstar right after the first second and let it buffer for longer than the actual length of the show to be able to watch it. You guys really do give a crap about us, and listen to our concerns. For that, I will remain a faithful viewer, until, of course, your small business, customer oriented channel ceases to be so.
Watching via flash may be easier but this post has reminded me to mention that I find the “Subscription Options” tab for each show a touch bewildering - for those that want to subscribe to view the shows offline it would be nice to see some recommendations based on the commonly used devices. For example users with iPods any smaller than the Touch / iPhone would presumably be recommended to use the “Small Quicktime” feed. Information about the typical size of shows in a given feed would also be useful information to help people choose which subscription option suits their device / bandwidth / capacity too.
Thanks for thinking about your audience. I know it has to be a pain to convert all those videos but I am glad I can get my content in the format that I want to watch it in. I also agree with roxspring. Finding the right format for portable devices takes some troubleshooting. Recommendations would make it a lot easier to pick which feed or file I want to grab.
I speedtest at around 20mbps, but after my latest flash update, I get nothing but stuttering out of the high quality option. I use ie7. I was watching using the flash player in high quality in fullscreen mode, now that just isn’t any good. can you look into it for me please?
