yahoo versus msn. Video

Yahoo!Xtra have some TVNZ videos available. The videos play in an enormous player mostly filled with advertisements. Playing over the (genuinely) high speed connection here in Australia is not great. The image is murky, jerky and prone to pauses. (i.e. over-compressed, very low frame rate and the streaming stops periodically)

Meanwhile, msn’s video player is also full of ads, but the video quality (compression) is far higher. Sadly once again despite a big pipe the transmission is full of pauses and unwatchable.

So this round to msn, but nobody is winning here.
