We're still a little stuffed from Thanksgiving and feeling a bit sluggish this Monday. In the meantime, here's some more original Netscape Video content from the set of Scrubs:


Remember, you can embed our videos in your own website or blog and present it in clean format by adding "-c" after embed in the src URL.

This morning I had a chance to speak with Scott Erickson, Senior Product Manager for the Microsoft Zune. The Zune, in case you managed to escape the buzz, is a music and video playing handheld device set to launch tomorrow.

Fabienne: The Zune has had such a big buzz on the internet, are there any sorts of differences in the review models that will change with the production model of the device?

Scott Erickson: The devices we sent out for review are the same as those in stores tomorrow. There were some misconceptions in the form of early screen shots that weren't actually from the device.

Fabienne: Are you looking forward with relief to the launch tomorrow after such a long pre-buzz?

Scott Erickson: No, not at all. [laughing] Yes of course, it's going to be one of the largest Microsoft product launches with 30,000 retail outlets including interactive kiosks at retailers. We'll also have the Zune at music stores such as the Virgin Megastore.

Fabienne: What is your favorite part about the Zune -- in the interface, the hardware, or elsewhere?

Check out Karina's round-up video:

We're eager to add more features, and yesterday we added video upload for all members!

You can read about the details in our Video FAQ. Make sure the videos you upload adhere to our Netscape Video Standards. Here's a rundown of the basics:

• Only upload videos that are yours for the uploading.
• There is no time limit on your videos.
• All videos must be 150MBs or smaller and either a .mpg, .mpeg, .mov, .avi, .mp4, or .m4v file.
• There is no limit on the number of videos you can upload.
• You can syndicate videos on your website or download original copies of the video.

Have fun!

Here's one I uploaded earlier:



We're really excited about this feature and want to make the most out of it. It's in its early stages, but we want to keep rolling out tweaks, bits, and pieces to make the experience all the better for all of you. Here's a list of things that we're *hoping* to add
(Note: we have to figure out how to make some of these things work first):

• Video icon will link to a list of all videos submitted to the site. DONE!
• WMV support
• iPod-version of the file will have a name based on the story slug rather than some indecipherable string of numbers like 09-26-19-42-10-7050_dl.mp4
• Videos embedded in special video-savvy RSS feeds, so that you can subscribe to videos with a certain tag or in a certain channel. DONE!
• Home for all videos: http://www.netscape.com/video DONE!
  

Any other suggestions?
