White Roof Radio Video Live!

Update The show is over and wow… it went incredibly well. Thanks everyone for watching. We’ll definitely trying this next week (Thursday around 10pm EST).

Todd is off this week so DB and I are testing some new technology that lets viewers actually see the show live. Consider this a sneak peak at a possible new WRR feature. Just click play on both windows to watch the show…

Very cool.. The sound is a touch wonky on my PC.

I feel like I am watching the Hollywood squares of MINI

You can adjust each persons sound individually.. I made DB quieter and Gabe louder to get the balance correct

Should be better now…

Good sound snd video in the NW. Gabe turning up the volume made his audio more reliable

Richard May 24th, 2007 Link

This adds a whole new level to the material you need to prepare for the show. Jokes and such. :)

Wow, I just happened on this! Neat idea guys.

Radley May 24th, 2007 Link

Maybe for the people watching as it comes in you can answer questions people ask in the comment section in here or something? I don’t know just a idea. Ketan’s comment is halarious.

ReplyReply
WingNut May 24th, 2007 Link

Are you guys taking requests?

ReplyReply
Ketan May 24th, 2007 Link

Are you selling your glasses? They might come in handy.

ReplyReply
Radley May 24th, 2007 Link

Thanks for reading my comment Gabe and seeing my idea.

I have been reading some messageboards and I was just curious, how do you guys feel about running in? Owners manual way, or driving it like you stole it to seal the piston rings properly?

Kind of ramdom, but would like to hear your input I am looking to recieving my 08 MCS in January

Todd May 24th, 2007 Link

This is working very well. Playing both streams at the same time. It’s almost like being on the show. Thanks for giving me the night off. I’m back to hammering nails and slopping paint.

Ciao.

Gabe next time around you might want to add a little light, when you lean in your feed is pretty much nil.

I was going with owners manual way I was kind of skeptical when I read that this website mototuneusa.com say to drive the engine hard the first 20 miles.

Watching both videos, and it is working great.

its coming through great on dual g5 with firefox. you could easily add another stream or two…

ReplyReply
Jon May 24th, 2007 Link

Feed does look pretty well meshed, think all three of you will be good to go. Very acceptable feed.

ReplyReply
Jon May 24th, 2007 Link

Todd’s audio isn’t getting through

ReplyReply
Richard May 24th, 2007 Link

Good job, very interesting addition. The show is awesome and very informative and hilarious. Have fun in Europe. Let us know when you will be live again. :)

DB May 24th, 2007 Link

Thanks for stopping by everyone! check back next week as I’m sure we’ll be doing this again!

ReplyReply
Richard May 24th, 2007 Link

Added note: If you stream from WhiteRoofRadio.com but post at Motoringfile, you could ask all comments to be left on MotoringFile so one could refresh the comments without having to click play on the streams each time.

ReplyReply
SB May 24th, 2007 Link

What about a pop up window just for the videos?

ReplyReply
DB May 24th, 2007 Link

that’s exactly what I was thinking Richard!

We’ll figure it out for next week for sure.

I caught some of the broadcast and it did go incredibly well. It is amazing that the technology is readily available. However, in the current show format there isn’t much point to watching talking heads. I was doing other things on the computer and just left the audio playing in the background. If you have ideas for visual content, this would be fantastic.

Suji May 27th, 2007 Link

I am sorry I missed this, it could have been fun watching you guys do the podcast. Next time perhaps?
