anyone on campus trying this out?

it's choppy here on RR

1/10/2007 1:27:47 PM

anybody have a joost beta invite?

2/17/2007 1:35:34 PM

Joost...

Could they have picked a worse name? I think not.

2/17/2007 1:50:29 PM

0.8's working nicely for me actually , no more choppiness

have to set it to use only one core on my processor through the task manager

no invites to give out though.

2/17/2007 4:21:08 PM

I have never had a problem with choppiness. I have been using it for a while now on comcast cable with smooth playback.

Shunning YouTube, Viacom hooks up with Joost
http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20070220-8883.html

Quote :

"Viacom has entered into a deal with Joost that will see the new P2P-based video start-up "broadcasting" Viacom's music videos, TV shows and other materials on the service. Viacom will provide Joost with content not only from MTV, but also from Comedy Central, CBS, and even movies from Paramount. The news comes less than two weeks after Viacom backed out of talks with YouTube and demanded that their content be removed from the site. YouTube pulled down more than 100,000 videos."

2/20/2007 10:38:44 AM

3/1/2007 4:19:44 PM

3/1/2007 11:20:40 PM

thx to dfshadow for mine

3/2/2007 1:58:05 AM

I would love an invite if you have one to share

3/2/2007 9:15:11 AM

This looks pretty cool. I'd love to have an invite if anyone has any to spare.

3/2/2007 9:30:03 AM

pm me if you still need one...

3/2/2007 3:05:26 PM

I've got a handful also if someone wants.... pm

3/2/2007 3:22:00 PM

Yea so thanks to dF for the invite, this is definitely pretty awesome. I can potentially see the ads becoming more than annoying if they get any longer, but right now they are short enough to not be a big deal.

So far lots of content though, and very easy to navigate to find what you're looking for. I can see this being really awesome if they end up with series on there or even movies.

3/2/2007 5:34:17 PM

I can't get it to run in Vista unless I run it as an administrator. (Checking the forums, this appears to be a common problem) And I can't run it as an administrator unless I have that gay ass User Account Control turned on. (You are coming to a sad realization: accept or deny)

Hopefully by the time they've got some content that's worth watching, they'll have released a version of software that runs in Vista without so many issues.

3/3/2007 3:13:58 AM

Can anyone hook me up with an invite? pm me...

3/6/2007 10:02:10 AM

anybody still need one?
