I apologize for being harsh, but there has not been one major justin.tv stream that I have seen that has been enjoyable to watch. Seriously. Last year's startup school, this year's startup school, the wolfram alpha launch. It's either the audio cutting out, the video freezing, or both. I appreciate that the service is free and that they're working hard to get it to work, but honestly, this has happened so many times to the point where I'd just rather read people's summaries of the talks than trying to tolerate the choppy videos anymore. It's gotten a bit ridiculous.
I get they're a YC company, cool, but in following years, you should give an alternative, like UStream, etc, if the quality there is better. I try to avoid justin.tv as much as possible in general now.
- gbookman 17y agoThe audio's "cutting out" because the mic level in the room is way too high. Notice how the video remains smooth while the audio stutters.
- reevo 17y agoHonestly, as a user, that's not my problem.
- gbookman 17y agoCourse it isn't. I'm just saying it's not Justin.tv you should be blaming, it's whoever set up the mic system.
- goodkarma 17y agoI've been trying to watch and the video has been pretty choppy too. Not trying to hate or anything, but I'm pretty bummed about this. I was really looking forward to watching it.

- goodkarma 17y agoJust to follow up - the stream has gotten a LOT better - watching Chris Anderson now. Awesome!

- ALee 17y agoI told the organizers here. Hopefully they'l start fixing this.
- gbookman 17y agoOK, now the video is stuttering so you can blame Justin.tv. It wasn't when I was watching earlier.
- kd5bjo 17y agoSorry about the problems; they should be fixed now. We had a bad uplink at the site.
- arram 17y agoThe quality of service issue had nothing to do with Justin.tv. The problem with streaming big events is that the connection is always saturated. In this case, the auditorium tech who was supposed to give us an independent line accidentally hooked us into the same connection as the wifi router.
