RSS FeedWhile it is easy to be skeptical about commercial TV's Web exploits, first previews of Hulu, a video sharing service for professional video show promise.
Hulu is only accepting a limited number of beta users at this point, but is displaying some HD 1280 x 720 video, using the H.264 code for compression, and a player that offers ability to quickly and easily grab segments from commercial TV shows, to email or post. A slider-control on the player allows users to select the specific scene they want directly in the player.
No word yet on what mobile options Hulu will support.
Since Hulu is in beta I won't guarantee this clip from the U.S. version of The Office will keep working, also you need the latest build of the Adobe Flash Player 9. The player box is a bit wider than this blog's column width, obscuring the menu in the lower-right corner (whose configuration seems to be evolving). Click to activate, then again to play. Click to stop.
