Road Bike Racing - video finaly up of TOC

A little better than yesterday................

Today is MUCH better than previous days. If they can pull this whole thing off it will be amazing. But still no audio. Am I missing something? Did they give up on audio?

Video stream looks good but I am not getting audio. Anybody else with no audio?

hmmm...maybe they cut the audio stream to allow more bandwidth for video.

NO audio yet ......................, they had to kill the audio to fix the video ha

Bummer, I'd trade video for audio right now. I'm at work and can listen through headphones. If I watch I'll never get anything done!

Audio is up...not bad either. Much better than yesterday.

EDIT: hmmm... still not working here

I thinks its pretty sweet.

I cant find volume button and Velo News updates are 1/2 hour behind, I'm afraid to hit refresh because I man not be able to reconnect to the server for the stream.

Has anybody noticed the black socks Levi is wearing...reminds me of when Lance did back in the TDF days.

I got audio now but Im looking at a screen freeze of farm animals.............sh@%$#

Where did you get audio from?

Wow, this is GREAT!

Robbie V is a pretty good commentator

thanks for the link

This is actually an awesome way to watch it. it's nice having the graphs and text updates superimposed on a video feed.

Audio wasn't working earlier, but has been for about an hour now.

The only thing not working for me is the "stage stats".. I'm getting dist. but not speed.

Jen Voigt is the man!

Info on the GPS devices at the T of C. (http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,72739-0.html?tw=rss.technology)

Link?

I have sound and video. Also the speed is now registering.

Somebody please provide a link.

jesus penis!

the commentators (ventura and the schmoe from velonews) are so goddamn irritating with their nasal nonsense that i put my computer on mute.

i never thought i'd say this, but where are phil & paul?

I have vid but no audio. The vol bar is there but no worky..oh well.

I am getting pretty good results. The audio is working. But when in the mountains it fades. Anyone else using an Apple?

complain, complain..... not all of us are blessed with living in Europe and getting European coverage of bike racing just about everyday on TV. :rolleyes:

I am not sure what you all are saying about the video being better, I still cannot make anyone out and can barely tell what jerseys people are wearing.

Pretty sure I could count the pixels on the video feed using my fingers and toes.

Why do you hate yourself?


If you ACTUALLY READ my comment in post #28 you would realize I was not attacking you but poking fun that not all of us are blessed like you are for living in a country with live Racing coverage. :beer:

They were averaging 68.4 mph on the descent.

"The details of my life are quite inconsequential.... very well, where do i begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really. At the age of twelve I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking- I highly suggest you try it."

YESSSS!!! YESSS!!!!! AMAZING!!!!!! YESSS!!!!! :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :bday: YESSSS!!!!!!!!! I LOVE ToC!!!!!

how do you get the stats out of the way?

click on the top bar taps of each section to close them.

Chris Horner comin' on.

man, with those knee high socks on, and shorts down to the knees, mixed with the video compression, levi looks lik he's got a 25" inseam.

The video might be pixelated, but at least it's continuous... which is more than I can say about Vs.'s coverage.

but at least it's continuous...


What website are you on? The amgen one hasn't budged or made noise for the last 2 mins. All I have is a stillshot of M. Rodgers' ass.

Levi is leading out with 10 miles to go. McCartney, Horner, Levi, and Jens Voight sitting on the rear. 1 minute lead over the second group.

Voight easy in a sprint but Horner won't let it come to that; look for him to take a flyer with 5K to go.

reload/refresh it.

I switched from the "big pipe" at work to my EVDO air card on the train home, the stream is only chewing through 5megs of data a minute or something like 83Kbps, at barly 2xdialup speed. Compare that to cycling.tv when they stream events at typically 391Kbps and you can easly see the video quality difference. Regardless thanks Amgen !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

steppy

I am not sure why you would put this???????????

Not that it is really a spoiler, but still it has nothing to do with the thread. . . I would like to be surprised that Levi is leading out with 10 miles to go. :rolleyes:
