Less of the megavideo links?

| loading

Hi, I'm sure you have all noticed the problems megavideo sometimes has, with not letting you watch over a certain amount of video and audio synching being awful.

What we have at the moment is about 15 megavideo links, if we wanted to use megavideo surely 3-5 would be enough, then different sites for those that can't use megavideo (for me it says I have viewed 8000 minutes of video today, which I havn't)

A bit more diversity please?

It's even worse how many sites just hotlink to megavideo, piggybacking off their content. When a popular show debuts, these mirrors do nothing to alleviate the slowdown.

yea because then you have to click on a link before you find out it's a megavideo link gah. I want to watch ep.8 but to no avail atm, am trying links on google, that's heroes desperation right there

megavideo is good for loading but the audio is way off... at least for me. I like Divx but it often takes a lot longer for it to load for me and also its annoying when it is in 4 parts or whatever.

i agree with the supernova links, supernova works fine, also independent flash players (you've all seen them, the come in about 4 parts and automatically change parts). I don't see the point of 20-30 megavideo links, if someone wanted megavideo just a few is enough, we need links that work for all!

I agree with that. I've been trying to cut down on the sheer number of megavideo links unless they are actually going to different versions of the video.

lots of sites have the shows uploaded to rapidshare soon after it airs, which for me is much faster then a torrent
