The new embedded player is great – in theory! My download speed is 1Mbs but it is not fast enough to synchronise audio and visual. It is unwatchable and I can’t be alone. Others such as YouTube are fine.

Moans to the webmaster just get an automated response, let’s hope that the BBC monitor complaints and can do something about it. I’ve stopped looking at their news, its too frustrating!

I used to watch BBC news 24 on my pda via the pop up player. This does not seem to be possible with the embedded version. I wonder if this is possible, if not surely I won’t be alone in my dissapointment of not being able to use this service.

At an Online News Association gathering BBC Tech Ed revealed their findings for embedded vid here.

Embedded video with text/story supporting the vid was the theme behind viewmagazine.tv; a still or animated pic clicked through to a vid.

What perhap’s interesting now about embedded vid is how it can be modelled to support multiple story telling and video hyperlinking.

There’s always multiple POVs to story telling and its maturation – ensuing converations. Embed vid provides the potential to access multiple strands, which is what the mash-up between broad/narrow and citizen casting’s been looking for. No?
