  • New Flash video player - your feedback

    Aug 20, 2008 1:02 PM

    Autocar.co.uk has a new Flash video player, which will allow us to offer our videos to many more users. It's also much easier to watch the movies in full-screen mode.

    If you have any difficulties with the new player please can you post any comments here, including:

    Type of computer (PC, Mac, Linux)
    Browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari etc)
    Internet connection (Work broadband, home broadband, 3G etc)
    Player problem (jerky playback, long delay, black screen etc)

    We'll be monitoring your feedback and will do our best to iron out any problems.

    Thanks,
    Ed

    Thanks for putting the videos into flash format. They look great, load quickly and seamlessly and are now compatible with a Mac. Great job! If i had one piece of feedback it is this: I'm watching the videos on a brand new 20" iMac and the default size for the small screen version seems very small. In full screen format, however, the need to keep file sizes small causes a somewhat blurred image. Any chance you could enlarge the small screen video size by about 25%-30%? it is great that Autocar has recognized the importance of video as a means of complementing the magazine content. As someone who has read every issue of Autocar since 1982, I eagerly anticipate the quality of writing and photography extending to videos with equally superb production values.

    Thanks for the feedback.

    We're aware that there are lots of users who want to view the videos in full screen mode and we're currently working on plans to increase the resolution/size of the video player, which will improve the picture quality.
