562556 2007-06-25 07:47:00 It's not the Mac part that is the big deal, it is the h.264 codec that enables the content onto your computer and into your living room. Apple developed the h.264 codec which YouTube now uses as opposed to YouTube using WMV from Microsoft since YouTube is owned by Google.

OnDemand is not currently Mac compatible, YouTube is crossplatform.

562558 2007-06-25 07:55:00 That means it will be Mac compatible:cool: Since you can view YouTube on Apple TV:thumbs: and your iPod:thumbs: :D

TVNZ has signed up to a groundbreaking partnership with Google to bring TVNZ content to YouTube - another New Zealand first for the broadcaster.

The partnership creates a branded TVNZ channel on YouTube , offering a range of New Zealand-made short video material from current programming and the archive, reflecting the style of content popular with YouTube users.

Looking at the web site it's just the same old crap they show on FTA. If this is their idea of IPTV then it's dead Jim..

562560 2007-06-25 07:57:00 Not that I'm a fan of TVNZ but I think that we are just seeing the initial stages of TVNZ adapting to YouTube content...at least I hope so...

I guess TVNZ has to do something to try and improve their ratings.:p

562562 2007-06-25 08:38:00 OnDemand is not currently Mac compatible, YouTube is crossplatform.

The free flash videos work fine on Macs though, and that is all that will be on YouTube. So, as far as I can see they are just adding another distribution system for their free content. Not much point in terms of viewing on a computer because you can just go to TVNZ On Demand, but as YouTube is being integrated into other devices, it could be handy to have access to their content via YouTube as well.
