ABC’s HD streaming
These guys have bandwidth to burn… ABC has just made live (only 3 episodes so far) their new HD player. It is using the On2 Flash codec at 2mbps at the 1280×720/24p resolution and it doesn’t sweat on our Comcast connection. It looks fantastic and makes you feel that you already live in the future, but you will need a really fast machine to play it back properly. My PC, a 3 Ghz P4 HT, drops about 4-5 frames per second, so don’t even think about of using the HD version without at least a CoreDuo or above… Other than that, it looks great, it has more interesting content and better quality than Joost, too bad that it’s restricted to US IP addresses though.
