Gushing Over MTV Overdrive
MTV launched Overdrive today and raised the bar for online video programming. Requiring a download for buffering optimization – not to mention, ugh, ActiveX controls – MTV probably went a little too far in streaming at 700K. Watching at work on a crowded network is pretty much impossible, even though the app sniffs for bandwidth and computer horsepower. The app is Windows Media 10 and Flash, and very slick and polished.

I meet ALL of the requirements, plus some.

…WHY IS IT, THEN, I STILL CANNOT VIEW ANYTHING?!?! I’ve searched through Help and FAQS, done every possible thing suggested and left at least five feedback notices. Still, nothing.

MTV needs to learn how to properly code their webpages. -.-

Besides, didn’t they know that flash webpages went out of style a decade ago when everyone learned how to do it for themselves? -.-;

Thanks a lot.

As PSFK reports, MTV-Overdrive is in BETA. It looks like MTV is going to play the music-clips online. All you need is the Internet-explorer and a special plugin called Overdrive Video Optimizer….mmmh, and what about Mac OS and Firefox?
