    Anyone watching these??

    They use some wierd video codec...I can connect to them,but i see nothing...... (I dont really wanna DL anything)

    You think they would use a more standard codec if they expect many people to watch these cams!!

    Darn I wish I could watch them (not going to DL anything onto my cpu)... How funny would it be to watch someone jump the fence and run across the border...

    Well sad of course, but it would be like watching a crime as it was happening... I wonder if there is a "report jailbreak" button or something.

    Why dont they use WMV9 @ 300k?? That would produce excellent video and would be accessible to almost everyone!!

    Its more than just a codec....Its an actual program i think that plays EMBEDDED MEDIA via your browser. (Like WMP does)
