| 705135 | 2008-09-14 06:24:00 | I'm sitting here while on my other puter . . . looking at "Bones" on HULU . . . and I noticed something I don't understand . HULU is bringing me really quality, full-screen videos . . . . . great color, no busted drop-outs or bad sound . . . in fact it's 2 . 0 stereo . I watch full-sized movies . . . one I just watched is "Captain and Commander" . I recommend it very much! Anyway . . . . . I also see that my DSL lights are not blinking very much . . . . . . meaning that I am not running full-tilt downloading packets of data . Now . . . . . . YouTube requires massive amounts of band spread to get crappy vids in mono . . . so . . . . how's it done by HULU? Unlike YouTube, HULU can go for 10 seconds at a time with no packets delivered at all . |

| 705140 | 2008-09-14 08:34:00 | OK..that's all good and all..but how is HULU using so little space? | SurferJoe46 (51) | ||
| 705141 | 2008-09-14 08:37:00 | Thanx PCTek | Blam (54) | ||
| 705142 | 2008-09-14 08:40:00 | Thanx PCTek pctek? Joe: I think Hulu uses a new form of compression for its streaming videos which Youtube doesn't, hence it results in smaller file sizes. |

| 705143 | 2008-09-14 08:49:00 | Hulu also doesn't try to prebuffer the entire video like youtube does. | Erayd (23) | ||
| 705144 | 2008-09-16 09:21:00 | Download and install the (free) "Hotspot Shield". I've used it to view Hulu and other geolocation restricted sites, and it works really well. Is this program for wireless connections only? Can I use it on a wired connection? |
