Good to hear from you.

There was another interesting point that Iain raised about what audiences who watching video online mind and don't mind. They don't mind quality (or a lack of it) online as long as it's constant. Weird eh?

So basically, as long as the video quality maintains its quality and doesn't get worse they're happy.

Very interesting point, things are changing a great deal. I had't realised that it was to this degree.

I still think that the quality and features of dvd rinse anything you could watch on youtube, and I still find myself buying dvds I know I could watch for free.

Funny thing happened last week though. I wanted to watch a movie which I own on dvd, but the player on my laptop has stopped working, and I didn't want to use the one in the living room late at night, so i managed to find the entire movie in segments on youtube.

Didn't realise how crazy that was until I'd watched the entire film.

It won't be long before it's commonplace to watch dvd quality film online, with a verbatim copy of the dvd menus, special features etc. I just hope this will be a legitimate form of entertainment with a reasonable revenue model that keeps everyone happy.
