So no wonder the quality is poor for the bitrate.. They are restreaming!

Meh if they can afford 100s of CPUs they afford a dedicated server!

Will record the launch and upload it if the quality turns out okay.  Sorry, but it will not have audio.

I'll grab an individual audio track then and we'll see what we can do.

Really, they should use VLC to stream in ASF or something better...maybe someone can send them an email about next time.

Ignore, abort, retry.

Always hit retry. Or relaunch as the case may be.

I sure wouldn't like it. 

Maybe Musk is paranoid and needs to spy on people.  That would be why there is "high visibility into everyone's cube".


Or, maybe as a successful entrepreneur, he's seen enough slackers and had enough of them...

Is it just me, or has the webcast frozen?

It works, but the picture is magnified and the countdown clock not visible any more  :-[

I think it also killed our moderators given the way this thread has become a free for all ;)

We're kinda not able to see the countdown clock now :(

Streaming a paused player, this may take awhile.
