@liquidbutter: Sorry you seem to be having issues with the VoD's on the site.

Fact is, all the Live videos on GameSpot.com are available instantly following the broadcast. This is how our DVR video player works. We (too) start archiving the stream before its even over, and have been for 3+ years. While a broadcast is live, you can use the little "scrub" bar and rewind the stream live - in real time.

According to my publishing logs, the Megabit VoD was published at 12:31pm PT (31 minutes after it finished airing) in HD quality. There was a downtime of approx 7 minutes while it was converting from Live to VoD. I published this video to the site.

When the broadcast was over, what was the issue? When you went to this URL - http://www.gamespot.com/videos/u-n-squadron-snes-megabit/2300-6419853 - What was the behavior? Blank screen? No video Player? Ad play but no video? I'd like to solve this with you, as you seem to be experiencing a site and or cache issue.

@Mr_Pants_tent and @Jasbro - Moving forward, all HoH full videos will be uploaded to GameSpot, and will be in their show page here: http://www.gamespot.com/shows/houseofhorrors/

Is it possible to watch videos in HD in the mobile version of GS?

Newly released videos are very choppy in high-def, and when I press the download button, for some videos, not all, the video just streams in a new window. I'm using Windows 7 64-bit and the newest version of Firefox.jmelvin66

After you click the download button, select the version you want to download and Right-Click the link and choose "Save Link As..."

This should solve your issue.  Please let us know if you continue to have issues. :)

hmmm, that doesn't seem like streaming at all. Maybe I'm just used to youtube and giantbomb . . . and every other streaming player where you can skip around to wherever at it loads from that position.

I'm so pissed off since you change the video player! Why no more youtube? My downloader try to download all the video instead of playing them! When my downloader is off nothing work black screen! I got flash player updated using firefox! With IE is doesnt work either...

This website is becoming heavy with all your recent update.... can't you keep the website clean and not overwhelming?

When I try to watch Brink video review I get this

I tried to reinstall flash but it didn't work. Also I can watch videos from other sites without a problem. What would be the problem?

I'm not getting any new episodes of Today On The Spot through the 'Today On The Spot' itunes feed. I The last episode I got was the Pixel Junk Shooters demo episode.

I can't watch the show through the site, its too laggy.

Help!

I'm looking into this now. So, it started happening with the Feb 4th show? Did the Feb 2nd show play fine?

They are all encoded as h.264 with avc1 codecs, but I'll have to look into if there was a codec update, or version change.
