And if you're on dialup how long does a typical jpg take to download? I'm just sayinMaggieo wrote:Again, I will point out that the load time of an embedded YouTube player is no longer than a large JPG or PNG. The main download comes after you hit the play button.JazzBlaster wrote: I think the main concern on the youtube thing would be load times. This forum is global and not everybody has fast internet.
Just a general FYI; we should be clear about the facts.

It's not about the gear! It's about you, your hands, your imagination, your feelings.

Re: youtube code?
hey, sorry to be a stick in the mud, but i'd like to applaud the osg status quo for a moment. Hong Kong is a pretty wealthy and dense city, which means i get dirt-cheap broadband even on my cell phone. Now that isn't exactly bragging rights these days; i bring it up just to point out my primary aversion to embedded youtube: my phone! It's decent, it's flash-enabled, it has memory to spare, i've installed opera on it and browsing's really quite fun! However, there's some bugs, and flash is a big one. dynamic html jazz is another. I'm soooooo fond of osg for not buying into this crap. It's cool for your senior webdev thesis but i think simple and informative is the way to stay. and now, to be really hypocritical, i'd like to suggest that anyone still cowering from popups make the switch to something tabbed (firefox, opera, maxthon if you need ie...)! But i understand if your company's IT department hates you. <3

Re: youtube code?
I don't see much point in adding the code, you just get get to see one picture. I guess if you think the band looks really stupid you won't watch it, but really it doesn't matter much. This site has a very elegant way of treating links anyways, as they open in a new tab anyways (not all sites do this).
