It's actually a scaling issue - our server is seeing an order of magnitude more traffic than even our launch spike. We are working on a solution right now :)
Nice work. From the looks of it, I thought it was some new thing that Adobe or some huge company put out. When I read that you guys were from YC, I was shocked (not that YC doesn't put out good stuff) that you built such a good product with so little funding. Keep at it!
Yes I digg it, yet I am very tempted to add off color comments and act juvenile. I bring this up because I wonder if you guys are working on a system to scrape these types of comments?
We are working on a feature that will let you whitelist a set of people who are able to add comments. The author can also choose to disable commenting completely.
While watching videos on Omnisio, I found the pop-up comments to be annoying. Maybe the comments should be off by default or let people vote up/down the comments so that you can remove the negative comments
Wow. Never thought I would be endorsing another video/slideshow product this late in the game but Omnisio truly is head and shoulders above anything else. Just goes to show that if you can isolate a large subset of customers that are not being served very well even in a very crowded market (e.g. videos of presentations), you can do really well. Now show me a way of doing non presentation videos much better than youtube (yes, I did notice the mid-video user comments, good but not ground breaking!) and I'll be floored :)
Not to beat up justin.tv since they aren't really made for this kind of video but the contrast between the same video on justin.tv (or youtube) and on omnisio is just huge. Great work guys!
Edit: O.K. just noticed the subtitles that so subtly pop up at the right time. This keeps getting better..
Plus one for the comments about Omnisio. Justin.tv just wasn't cutting it. Especially during the talk with the Sequoia guy who did the whole "I don't even have to read this slide" thing.
It's not letting me finish talks. For example, right now Peter Norvig is halting at -15:20 and PG's talk is halting at -17:46. If I reload, the halting still happens, but at a different time. I've tried it on Firefox and IE on WinXP. Both apparently have version 9,0,124,0 of Flash.

[ 4.6 ms ] story [ 72.8 ms ] threadI would say that over-use of flash sucks and "click to skip preview" stuff is annoying.
We started around end of October last year.
It's raised the bar for me. I'm drawn to hold myself to a standards somewhere near it. Thank you.

However for me, the videos stuck at some point -- Mike Arrington's at arount -17 min, and PG's also after about 5 minutes.
Even if I try to skip over this point, it just goeas back to "..I got my dog a few years ago <stop>".

I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.4 on Vista, Flash WIN 9,0,115,0
Also: Your UI rocks!
Also, some of Norvig's slides aren't showing up.
