Better Beeb-o-vids

The BBC is experimenting with a new Flash-based video player instead of the horrible Real Player system that it has used for goodness knows how long.

Flash player @ BBC

After you’ve viewed one of the trial Flash vids, (I found one on [this page](http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/6733385.stm) about “cheap” tin boxes for people to “live” in) you get the chance to fill out a little survey that asks you what you think of the idea, did you think the video was decent quality, etc.

Personally I thought it was fab - much better to have something embedded in the page, right next to the relevant news item, rather than faffing about with pop-up windows and the godawful horror that is Real Player. Hooray Beeb, please more Flash vids. Ta.
