Another Reason to Watch the 'Quantum of Solace' Trailer

DateThursday, July 17, 2008 at 2:05PM
Earlier today, I received an e-mail from the video streaming company Vividas, and they were touting the trailer for Quantum of Solace, the new James Bond film. So what, you say. You already had that trailer online about two weeks ago. What's the big deal?

The big deal is the big deal. The company claimed in their letter that, "The Vividas player offers the highest quality video at the lowest bandwidth requirements.  Vividas provides a high-quality, full-screen streaming video experience."

Again, I've seen full-screen trailers, and so have you. Then I clicked on the link for the new 007 trailer...

Kapow! I mean, the trailer was good the first time, but look at it in this HD format. Color me impressed. I hope to work with Vividas down the road, because obviously watching a trailer of this quality that streams very quickly if not instantly is much better than a YouTube video. I didn't have to install anything (neither did you, right?) and Vividas says they have an embeddable player, which would be great, because if you're not so techno-savvy, when you see a trailer here or at one of thousands of other sites, it's usually embedded content. So if we could get that little item nailed down, I'd be a happy man. If you have an HD TV or monitor, their stuff works there, too.

I particularly enjoy the high quality with the very short loading time. I'm glad I saw it with my own eyes.

sir can I have another. That was very impressive. I dont know how they manage it with video compression being what it is, they somehow are able to spit out a full screen of HD video without any need to pre-load the video. I'm spoiled now, every preview that is not in this form will make me love it a little less.

See I've got a five-year-old Dell and it went by fine for me. Are you using Firefox? It's been a dream on my end, though; I've watched it probably a half-dozen times already.

It worked with Firefox, but not Safari on the Mac.
