# Season 7 of 24, without flippin advert breaks every 10 mins like Sky does
David Dimbleby being the new Chair of 'I'm Sorry I Haven't Clue'
Sean Pertwee being the new Doctor Who

That's what I expect. Mind you, that's not what is likely to happen...

# Course it has.
As screeners...

Reasonable quality screeners too

Also: iPlayer is NOT RealPlayer

*blows a raspberry*

# That's not what I said.
It uses the flash plug-in as a wrapper to leverage Real Media streams.
and I should bloody know, I was on the initial development team at BBCW.

*double raspberry trifles!*
(, Mon 24 Nov 2008, 15:37, archived)
# I'm intrigued
That says it's not using it, and is using Flash purely with a VP6 (or H264) codec.

I know for local stuff it's still mostly RealPlayer, but is streaming iPlayer stuff really RealPlayer*

# My apologies..
Not trying to be arsey at all, it really is the most pig-awful lash-up in the history of anything.
The Beeb couldn't dump all their legacy stream-creation workflow, so they mangled the whole lot together into this abomination.
It was all born out of the abortive Real-based BBC.com (note the .com, hence commerical) News Service, that one had to pay for.
It's a disgrace, much as Joe S already pointed out.

That's why you get this awful degrade from H 264 codec, due it being delivered by one system, deployed to the browser via another.
And don't even get me started on the Mac support.

# Listen live Radio
"Depending on your station, as detailed in this guide, you may be able to listen to a Real or Windows Media Audio live stream. Real may adjust the bit-rate depending on your connection, but we offer live streams at 64kbps."

A lot of the local live streaming stuff needs Realplayrer

I wasn't angling. It's just usually if a bigger girl says that she doesn't think a thin girl's attractive all the boys cry 'JEALOUSY!'.

I'm not jealous. I had a 16 year old's body when I was 16, I don't need to have one now.

I tried my first vector picture this afternoon. I'm quite pleased with the head, but the body is not very good.



Any tips would be appreciated.

# I really like that
I like the simplistic quality. I think sometimes with vexels and vectors people can be tempted into making them too intricate, whereas I much prefer an approach like yours.

I didn't want to get too ambitious on my first go so the simplistic approach was a necessity more than a choice.

I don't think you'll be needing many tips, sir. That's great.

My only thought - and this is merely a personal preference - would be to round some of the sharper corners a little.
