Re: Startup School videos on Omnisio, synchronized with slides and questions
#22Wow. Never thought I would be endorsing another video/slideshow product this late in the game but Omnisio truly is head and shoulders above anything else. Just goes to show that if you can isolate a large subset of customers that are not being served very well even in a very crowded market (e.g. videos of presentations), you can do really well. Now show me a way of doing non presentation videos much better than youtube (yes, I did notice the mid-video user comments, good but not ground breaking!) and I'll be floored :)
Not to beat up justin.tv since they aren't really made for this kind of video but the contrast between the same video on justin.tv (or youtube) and on omnisio is just huge. Great work guys!
Edit: O.K. just noticed the subtitles that so subtly pop up at the right time. This keeps getting better..

#23Plus one for the comments about Omnisio. Justin.tv just wasn't cutting it. Especially during the talk with the Sequoia guy who did the whole "I don't even have to read this slide" thing.

#24Looks great!
However for me, the videos stuck at some point -- Mike Arrington's at arount -17 min, and PG's also after about 5 minutes.
Even if I try to skip over this point, it just goeas back to "..I got my dog a few years ago ".

#25It's not letting me finish talks. For example, right now Peter Norvig is halting at -15:20 and PG's talk is halting at -17:46. If I reload, the halting still happens, but at a different time. I've tried it on Firefox and IE on WinXP. Both apparently have version 9,0,124,0 of Flash.
Also, some of Norvig's slides aren't showing up.

#27Omnisio is a damn good product. [EDIT: How long did it take to develop, if anyone knows?]
Thanks! We started around end of October last year.
Nice work. From the looks of it, I thought it was some new thing that Adobe or some huge company put out. When I read that you guys were from YC, I was shocked (not that YC doesn't put out good stuff) that you built such a good product with so little funding. Keep at it!

#28Your site is one of a few that I've added to my bookmarks on the first visit.

Update: I just watched the whole PG presentation, and it did not get stuck.
Also: Your UI rocks!

#30Apparently my Flash 9 is not 9 enough. Flash sucks.
I don't know about that. I would happily install flash once and be able to freely use something awesome like omnisio.
I would say that over-use of flash sucks and "click to skip preview" stuff is annoying.
