Has anyone else tried to view Steve's keynote on QuickTime 6? I downloaded the 6 player and am using a G4 tower, but I can't get it to stream properly at all. It plays for three seconds and halts, and then the volume goes away, and then it comes back for a few seconds, etc. I've tried several times. Is this just because I'm using my 56k modem, or what? I thought that QT6 was supposed to be great at streaming video. Any insight for me?
 
Hmmm. I'm rewatching the keynote in MPEG4 under Jaguar 6C106. I'm on a cable modem, and I've enabled "Instant On".

Wow.

You can scrub through the video to any point, and when you let go, it automatically starts - no waiting for the stream to catch up.

Apple has done a great job with QT6.
 
i wasn't able to watch it in qt6 live, but later i revisited the keynote and it was sweet.

i also got the new real player for x, i like it much better than any other RP. Not that I'll use it all that much...
 
I cant use MP4 audio or video without crashes under OS 9, and I don't have X, seems I can't either..

I had the same problem, but I fixed it by setting the transport protocol to HTTP and port 80 instead of UDP under the QT pane in system pref.

The keynote is available as video-on-demand as an MPEG 4 stream (you will need QT6 to view it) at http://www.apple.com/quicktime/qtv/mwny02/

I don't know a way to download it - some adress leaked some days ago where you could download the whole 300 MB keynote but it seems that apple has closed this gap (right before i was able to catch it :mad: )
 
QT 6 is great.

Also rendezvous is great. I just watched that demo, and now that I see it in action, it is exactly what I have been saying for years is how networks should operate (not that I have the slightest idea how to do it). Of course Apple is the one to finally kickstart this method.
