They are using the Windows Media Video 9 codec, why some people don't have it installed is puzzling to me.

 

[Nymins]

45min hold. Damn lol

Well, I do have it installed and I still aren't getting any video!

I hope we get some clear night skies this mission to see the shuttle and station going over the UK again

WOW, this commentator is wreeling off some good facts.

 

[Azagoth]

WMP11 at the moment.

 

[aslco]

9 minutes to go.

 

[BloodyL]

How about FFDShow, that really likes to take over as many codecs as it can.

 

[Nymins]

9 minutes to go.

Its held for about 30 minutes or so.

[Jon Frost]

how long left now? im confused

 

[rhymin]

cool nice link

45 mins i think....

 

[seaviewuk]

for people with dodgy connections.

SKY and BBC News channels usually cover the launch live as does Fox News and CNN.

Internet stream is usually a minute behind Real Time.

 

[Marky]

The guy just said 30 minutes hold left...

It does seem pointless to hold for ages at a time, why not just check everything first and then start the countdown 10mins before launch?
