I know it's not to alot of peoples taste here but the online video of the Kanye West performance was 10x better than any other video i've seen on the Radio 1 site. 400 x 224 pixels, rather impressive.

Wonder if greyhead had a hand in this project? Seeming he has a part in pioneering all things video for Radio 1.

I would expect it to be high quality. No offecnce to Scott Mills but he has never shut up about it for the last couple of days. Dont know about the other DJ's becuase i dont listen at those times...

I notice they're being more welcoming to allowing you to view or listen to stuff in the realplayer program these days.

Me too, just from past experience with things like the Moyles movies they have been very poor in size and quality.

Yes i see what you mean. The canal ones from this year wern't bad though. I remember when the bbc had no listen again at all, and their live stream was pants. And they used to clip certain sections of shows like Moyles and Mark & Lard for the pages instead of listen again (which was pants for Lards Classic Cuts, becuase they used to cut out the classic cut becuase of the swearing).
This Kanye West video may be a breakthrough, i reckon we may be looking at an upgrade to 44kbps for listen again within a year as well (i hope).

Thing is, for even a little upgrade of bitrate, so many people listen online that the BBC would have to shell out so much more on bandwidth.

It is the BBC though. They can afford to do it.

Either that or the fact that it was at Abbey Road studios had something to do with it.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

aren't they releasing it on dvd or something?

has someone here said that or did i dream it?

[Sidders]

Moyles said it this morning.

Kanye West = R

[Dickie]

No, someone mentioned it on Radio Uno today, must have been Moyles or Whiley cos i didnt hear anyone else.

It is the BBC though. They can't. They're trying to cut spending!

Maybe they sould cut down on the amount of Taxi's they use, did anyone read about that?

[gregs]

the gig will have been filmed by a bbc crew using proper broadcast quality cameras hence the quality one would guess
