Earth II: Official Extended Trailer - BBC Earth
What impact is the VOD service Auntie did.
Given its impact on the world of VOD and Internet video, you'd be forgiven for being surprised that the BBC iPlayer is just celebrating its first year of existence.
But it was in December 2007 that most people first had the opportunity to lay eyes on the best of my aunt and online, although the concept is nothing new, the way he drew public attention certainly was.
Within 12 months iPlayer has redefined the industry itself, as shown on the various platforms that the Virgin Media cable service, the iPhone and the Nintendo Wii, and a trail blazing other broadcasters rush forward.
I am an enthusiastic supporter of the iPlayer and its impact on online video, executive producer of MSN Peter Bale told TechRadar.
There is no doubt that the BBC is taking the lead in education throughout the UK online audience consuming online video.
It benefited all of us in the industry, but this may not be obvious to all MSN Video traffic has tripled since the iPlayer was launched.
IPlayer has raised the bar on quality and has made people realize that there was more video online than dogs and skateboarding Mentos and Coke.
The user experience is certainly the most mentioned factor when people discuss what has been a successful iPlayer.
This was the great thing about the iPlayer you watched and people would go oh it's just the internet, Director of OnDemand Griff Parry Sky said.
I think people take pleasure in providing TV quality stuff; People's expectations of video on the net are still set by YouTube, but the iPlayer has changed.
Lesley Mackenzie, CEO of NetTV247 and former CEO of Kangaroo project agrees the online user experience for some of the major broadcasters are poor because The iPlayer is so successful is because it offers an experience easy user.
As viewers become more familiar with the concept of television on demand fueled by the success of things like cabinets, Sky and peer-to-peer, brands alongside more general such as YouTube and TiVo are become less tolerant to miss the shows that collect buzz.
As CEO of Virgin Media content Malcolm said wall when the BBC iPlayer was brought to Virgin Media The enormous success of iPlayer has demonstrated online viewers want to watch quality programs at a time that suits them.
The way we consume media iPlayer post in this world seems divided with people wanting the latest high definition cutting edge images for their plasma screens, on one hand, but also adapting to laptops, gaming handheld consoles and mobile devices as a secondary viewing platform.
What Satellite and deputy editor of Digital TV Grant Rennell believes that the bandwidth problems means that HD and Internet TV will merge in the near future.
In a very short time, but thanks in part to connect Relentless BBC iPlayer the concept has changed the way the generation watches online BBC shows, but if it exceeds watch traditional television is however questionable, said Rennell.
As HD is gaining popularity and with Freeview HD around the corner, the problems of average bandwidth probably we'll be in our top fixed stick boxes and flat screen TV for our hi-def jollies in the future .
It is a rare negative view that the famous iPlayer what many see as a largely successful first year, he certainly forced his way into the public consciousness in a way that no other VOD service bar can be managed YouTube.
Indeed, a very modern measure of success has been the constant argument of Internet service providers such as Tiscali that the BBC should pay for the largest amount of bandwidth used that people have used the online iPlayer.
ISPs can not be satisfied with the amount of bandwidth it chewed through last year, but iPlayer has been a huge success, and it is not surprising that the BBC won the gong Best Web application in the price of the magazine this year, the magazine editor Dan Oliver told us.
However, it is not quite back slaps for the Beeb, as it hasn t yet released the Mac version of iPlayer, which was promised to get to the end of 2008, we are still waiting.
The iPlayer is far from perfect, but the BBC mandate to lead on the rest of the industry with the public funding it receives has rarely been clear that the work in which he has done with the iPlayer.
The overriding sense that you get to talk to the media about the impact of the iPlayer is, quite simply, without it we would not have seen the acceleration of Internet TV.
But instead 12 months, the UK is one of the most advanced countries in this field.
So happy birthday iPlayer you can kind of color scheme that only a mother or perhaps an aunt could love, but you have achieved in your first year more than anyone could have predicted.
A year BBC iPlayer An industry responds TechRadar, year iPlayer industry.
