I have a question regarding the subscription and gamefire stuff.
Is the intention behind it to cover the costs incurred by you and Vitensby (entirely reasonable) or to make profits?

Appreciate all your hard work Bridger and enjoy the shows (yes even the suckfest of the extra vid last week thanks to the two of yours commentary) so look forward to the sub system in place.

Adblock Plus will block the video in firefox. I needed to manually allow a few objects to get it playing.

Re: Beta Keys – I sent out an email to the winners with a request form buggo to email her with their info and she’ll send them keys (sent this email out yesterday).

Re: Full-Screen – There is a full screen option in the player, it’s just not functioning correctly at the moment. We’ll get it working though, no worries

Re: Downloads – The problem is that with our current ad system, it’s tied to the player, so we can’t simply allow people to download with ads. Once we implement the full screen setting, you guys will be able to view it like you always have, the only difference is it’s in a streaming window rather than downloaded. And if downloads mean that much to you, we’re offering that for real cheap.

Remember, I’m trying to make a living out of this, that’s what gamefire is. We can’t give anything out for “free” anymore. I even had a big argument with my gamefire business partner over the downloads thing. I wanted to preserve downloads, but in the end his viewpoint won out. We’re currently paying out of our own pocket for the bandwidth these videos cost, which is a lot of money. This means we need to make money in order to keep making these shows for you guys.

If you still have some issues with the system send me an email and we’ll have a chat: talesof@gamefire.com

I realize the amount of work you guys put into this show, and I truly appreciate it. So much so that I WILL become a paid subscriber. However, I must say that I agree with many that have posted so far.

I thought that the idea of the non-subscribers being able to download the low rez version with the paying ones getting a high rez was the best. The main reason I started watching toh was beacause I could bring it with me on my laptop and watch it at my cottage. It’s a shame that only those who pay will still be able to do so…

Is it that you only have time to encode it once ?
