Nasa Webcasts
 

Is it just me or are they really bad for both Houston and Palmetto? For some reason I am getting 8 FPS at like 160x160 off Palmetto and no sound, and a little bit better off of houston with 150kbit connection with sound. Palmetto is almost unwatchable. Does anyone else have a better link?

Are the links I have

Using those links, it seems to be moving along alright ... I can see what's going on and the sound is working just fine for me.

The picture quality might not be thre greats but hey - it's better than nothing.

Re: Nasa Webcasts
 

cool, thanks for the links

a little off topic, viewing the Palmetto sponsors i see that they used the same picture as my avatar but they added a tetra in the middle, looks cool!

Re: Nasa Webcasts
 

I see that... what is the story behind that picture?

Re: Nasa Webcasts
 

I watched started watching Houston and Palmetto from the last few matches today, Palmetto was actually better quality than Houston. I thought the Las Vegas regional would be on webcast. What happened?

Re: Nasa Webcasts
 

I believe the Las Vegas is suppose to be on Nasa tv. Broadcast.com use to do free Nasa webcasts at 300+kbit but they were bought out by yahoo.com, which makes me very sad. Its now a pay service and they no longer have nasa :(

Re: Nasa Webcasts
 

Las Vegas will be web casted but since it is on NASA TV they only show Saturday's competition.

Re: Nasa Webcasts
 

The Webacst is connected through a dial-up line because broadband was very expensive at Reliant. Therefore, getting a good connection is difficult, they might be releasing archives of the elimination rounds since we are recording.

Re: Nasa Webcasts
 

FYI, the webcast for Reliant is actually connected over 128k ISDN line. The technical details mean that it's being encoded twice, so it'll look a bit off from that, too.

Re: Nasa Webcasts
 

Ah I see, thank you for clearing that up.

Re: Nasa Webcasts
 

Even though I'm not a big fan of Realplayer... why not just upload one feed? It'll double the quality... and I'd rather there just be one type of video to view and get the overall quality improvement, even if it's on the less-preferred streaming video. Just an idea.

Re: Nasa Webcasts
 

For those of you who dont get Nasa TV at home, the following page has links to the webcast of Nasa TV. The schedule says Vegas would be shown from 9am-5pm[EST] today on Nasa TV but currently the regional isnt on.

Re: Nasa Webcasts
 

Thats becuase Vegas is 3 hours behind the East Coast. (I think it's 3, it might be 2).

Re: Nasa Webcasts
 

So its looking like the Las Vegas regional will come on NASA TV around noon EST?

Re: Nasa Webcasts
 

There isn't a whole lot to show at 6am PST. As we saw earlier this year, the NASA TV schedule hasn't been very accurate. Try tuning in again at noon EST.
