[vlc] Re: Help support VideoLAN - only 2 min of your time

They also stream video using WMP format (asx). I'm using VLC to watch their news clips just fine. For instance:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/media/avdb/news/world/video/100000/nb/100829_16x9_nb.asx

My main beef with the Beeb is that they restrict most of their high definition broadband streams to UK users so ex-pat Brits living abroad, like me, are blocked from watching them.

Also, I think that one reason they don't push VLC use is that they don't want people recording (oops, I mean "transcoding" ;) their video or audio streams. I've read that the main reason they used to only publish RealPlayer streams is that RealPlayer doesn't allow "rewind" during playback. (Huh?!!)

That might be true for radio streams but video news clips on
news.bbc.co.uk unfortunately don't play in VLC yet ... :/

Anyway, the idea sounds great. Thanks for the help and support!
