Continuing my discussion of high-definition technology, Tekzilla brought to everyone’s attention about the lack of HD webcam technology. To put it simply, even some of the former TechTV staff couldn’t locate an HD webcam. That is pretty pathetic considering how the price of high-def televisions and camcorders are rapidly dropping.
Maybe some of you have noticed how rapidly HD camcorders are dropping in price. It is quite an interesting thing to observe as someone who has monitored the prices of gadgets like these for quite awhile. The prices continue to drop, and pretty soon I believe that most of the features available on the multi thousand-dollar camcorders we see today will be affordable for many lower budget indie film-makers in the future. However, that time has not yet come, but we still have great options to choose from.
Why the greatest company around repeatedly fails to fix a simple script that uploads videos is beyond me. Frankly, I see it as an embarrassment to the company. I for one know that many people have had issues with uploading videos on YouTube. It does not even require an effort to search online as I talk to people on a daily basis that have had issues. It is not the users’ fault either.
I just learned that it might be an issue with the latest flash player, but even if that is the case, I have had issues for well over a year now. I’ve even performed clean installs. It just makes no sense.
YouTube, a company that supposedly represents some of the best innovation online has never had it right with their upload tool. Ever since I first joined the site, I have had issues that just baffle me. YouTube, Google please fix this problem!
