Bonio
Scenery our ‘closest competitor’ only works on Chrome, well before they closed down. |
Thx Bonio. Hope many more start asking for stuff, a good sign (better than radio silence). |
The pound is not particularly weak against the USDollar, where it is currently at it's average over the past five years.
Against the Euro the pound is stronger than it's 5 year average. |
I assume making "America great again"(whatever that means!) could include taking out all the opposition.
Maybe US companies will be encouraged to reduce there cash reserves by picking up potential competitors and patent portfolios |
The £ is weak, so I assume that makes UK based businesses appear cheap as well. |
The time to buy is at maximum despondency and despair.
AIM has an eps growth rate of just under twice the main market. |
 The long game or the short game, which one will the Bird follow:
"Takeovers of London-listed companies are shrinking the UK stock market at the fastest pace in more than a decade.
About 45 companies have delisted from the London market this year due to mergers and acquisitions, up 10% from the tally for all of last year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That’s the highest number of firms to leave the market since 2010, and comes as the volume of deals targeting UK companies jumps 81% this year to more than $160 billion.
Foreign private equity firms have been particularly active, with US-based Starwood Capital Group closing its £674 million ($852 million) acquisition of London-listed Balanced Commercial Property Trust Ltd. last month. Sweden’s EQT AB also completed its £2.1 billion takeover of videogame services company Keywords Studios Plc in recent weeks, while Thoma Bravo finished its $5.3 billion purchase of cybersecurity software provider Darktrace Plc.
The moves show how the British stock market remains popular with bargain hunters, with UK equities now trading at a record discount of more than 40% to global peers, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. A number of the targets have been mid-cap firms listed on London’s AIM market, where companies often have thin trading volumes and little analyst coverage." |
I thought that the team suggested they were working on Safari integration
I think this is probably important if going alone
Not so important if we are going to be acquired maybe other plans |
2 people complaining
3.5 Billion user numbers for chrome
Let’s be friends with Google |
The customer is never wrong |
What's wrong with people, downloading Chrome, it is just as easy to download as any other application, probably easier, and it's not as if Chrome needs to be set as the default web browser, it can be used just for elevate.io so very little privacy risk.
Some people are just anti Google, it's like everything these days, always an anti brigade.
Probably have some anti elevate.io soon as the so called competitors identify the risk. |
We can make money storing those big original video files. |
Ok. That makes sense. Thanks for clearing it up. |

Yes Final video export is rendered to h264 codec (traditional) in the Cloud but the video you see while editing is rendered in the browser which is 99% of the app use.
Export to Spark for the Blackbird Player is close to instant because it doesn’t go through the traditional export process!
Another game changer! |
I can see that an efficient codec allows frame perfect playback and editing (at a low resolution?) but the big hi res files remain in the cloud and ‘renderingR17; must surely be done in the cloud from where the final version is exported and by implication created. |
‘In video production, rendering is the process of creating the final version of a movie. A piece of multimedia software integrates different content elements, such as video, audio, effects, transitions, text, images etc. The result may be a clip accompanied by music, subtitles, picture-in-picture effect and so on.’
So where is ‘renderingR17; carried out?
What do we download at the end of the process?
Where was this created? |
MK Is right
Using an off the shelf codec puts a huge amount of pressure on the Cloud servers as they have to do all the rendering and processing and on time file delivery this is a big problem at scale.
Blackbird codec renders every frame in the browser efficiently using your local device rather than hog resources rendering on expensive Cloud servers.
Hence why millions of users are possible
The investment bet is that won’t go unnoticed by Big Tech cloud video companies |
_m_k
‘BB codec can do this rendering entirely on user's device, it's been designed to do it at speed, on low spec devices, low bandwidth with frame accuracy. Every BB user device expands the resource available to the BB platform, your own device's CPU and memory takes the place of the servers the competition has to provision, so saving £££ on hardware AS WELL AS avoiding potential bottlenecks where demand exceeds (ultimately finite and shared) server resource.’
Really? This would require the transfer of large amounts of raw data, something BB does NOT do. The browser is a window only into the cloud where all data, processing and rendering is carried out. It is only the finished, rendered file that is exported to the users device. I thought.
One of us has misunderstood what is going on here? |
