Teams broadcasting regionals... [Appeal]
Hello CD Community!

If you are a team or sponsor who is broadcasting a venue event during the 2011 season, please use an web-friendly medium such as ustream (http://ustream.tv).

A lot of streams have used Microsoft Media Streaming or non-mainstream Flash alternatives. Using ustream allows:

MMS is not a very cross-platform friendly solution, unless you happen to be running IE and Windows, you will have to download plugins which don't seem to have an even near 100% success rate. (Looking at you NASA).

Of course we can't thank teams enough for broadcasting regionals to the FIRST community and general public, but please use a webpage friendly solution.

P.S. Wondering why this is such a concern? We've made an awesome tool which lots of generic public and CD users are enjoying - it allows multiple regional feeds to be watched at once, but MMS and non-mainstream solutions do not work as well as ustream. http://mmrambotics.ca/regionalfeed
