Radio around the world – my presentation

Posted on Tuesday, April 6th, 2010 at 10:42 pm. #

The above video plays in Firefox (definitely), and possibly Google Chrome, and maybe Opera. It’s HTML5 Theora video. It won’t work in Safari or MSIE.

You can tell it’s a video, because when I say “this is me”, the screen should change to a picture of a coffee cup and my business card. I’m not altogether sure this is happening on my copy of Google Chrome for the Mac. It does work fine on Firefox for the Mac.

Alternatively, here’s a version in Flash format for those of you on Internet Explorer or Safari. The sound’s not quite as good. Or, here’s a version for your iPod, iPhone, iPad or MacBook in MP4 which you can download.

The audio is from my appearance at RadioDays Copenhagen, where people wandered in a little late (you’ll spot this), and where they laughed in most of the right places (you’ll spot this too). Many thanks to RadioDays for letting me use the audio.

This blog also hosts a full index of all the blog posts I made during my travels.

Plays fine in Firefox but Chrome plays the audio while racing through the images. Very strange!

Nothing in Opera on a Mac – it doesn’t show up at all. Safari at least shows me there’s media there, even if it doesn’t play it!

Oh, and the link to ‘here is a version that plays on iPods’ just gives me Access Denied.

On osx snow leopard: Chrome:No, Safari:No, Firefox:Excellent, Vimeo:Yes, but with unpleasant audio compression effects. Thanks for the vicarious trip around the world.

Firefox/Windows 7 – works fine. Didn’t work on IE8 but FF is my browser of choice.

Still getting access denied on the mp4 version, but maybe it’s still uploading :-) vimeo works just fine. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Audio content and video content both lovely but sadly not in sync. Images appear to run ahead without waiting for their cues. In RCS this would be doing LINK instead of HARD.

Steve – don’t use Chrome, but use Firefox instead. No, I’ve no idea why either.

Great ideas, all the online political debates invite questions from the public but why not extend this to all interviews? – thanks James
