The FeedRoom (A Remarkable Video Resource)
The FeedRoom ^ | December 8, 2004, A.D. | Hugh Knows

This is an amazing (from my point of view) site listing continually updated and older video in numerous categories (news, tech, business, etc.)

Below are two quotes from its About Us page:


From The FeedRoom Site:

The FeedRoom blends the richness of television with the choice, control, persistence and community power of networked Internet applications. Color, Sid Caesar, MTV and the NFL Sunday Ticket transformed television. This is the next change. It's TV 2.0.


From the CEO and Founder:

"The birth of the idea was about 10-years ago. I was one of the producers of our Gulf War coverage and I was sitting in the control room looking at banks of monitors...one monitor had troops surrendering, one had Colin Powell, another had burning oil fields...and I thought, I'm only letting a trickle of this out to the American public. It would be so cool if the viewers could actually come in here and pick what was interesting to them. We couldn't do that 10-years ago, but we can do it today. That's what the FeedRoom is all about. We let viewers in and they pick and choose from all the sources out there and decide what they're going to watch."

   - Jon Klein, CEO and Founder, The FeedRoom

I have no personal connection with this site....someone just alerted me to it.

Kewl! couldn't get some of the site pages to scroll but
looks like a great source.

Click on the Trailor for "Sound of Thunder".
I remember reading this bradbury story as a teen ager
way cool SF then, looks like a good take on it.

Sorry I don't have an answer for you. Hopefully a Freeper tech can suggest a solution.
