congrats. I wish it didn't lag my laptop as much though. Regardless, cool piece of tech. Exactly what I was looking for (plus some) and I'm sure it will improve in upcoming iterations.

Any advice: which is better quality video Blip, Google Video or YouTube? In my mind YouTube is out of the question b/c of the limited upload size. Not good for hour long+ lectures.


Unfortunately they all have different issues. Google video is good because it supports long videos, but some of their servers seem unreliable and occasionally videos fail to load. Blip is good but they don't support seeking well (i.e. you sometimes wont be able to jump ahead to unbuffered parts of the video).

Youtube is actually the most reliable, but as you mention only supports small videos. One option is to break long videos up into 10min chunks and then stitch them together on Omnisio (we support compilations of multiple videos). It's a bit of a pain I know.

We are looking into support for other video sites - I wish there was a perfect answer :)


THis was one of my options. I am looking into it, but thanks.


This looks real good. Thank-you!


FYI we will be launching the slide-sync feature in the next couple of days which we hope will be really useful for video lectures.

I realize a search feature for Hacker News is likely in the works, so couldn't find the answer to my question in a prev. post. Excuse me if this is repeating a prev. questions. Tks
