President Obama Taps VP Biden To Lead Middle-Class Task Force

Here's video from today's announcement that of a middle-class task force to be headed by Joe Biden. The announcement came in the wake of news that the economy shrunk by 3.8% in the final three months of Bush’s presidency. Full transcript here.


If you've been following DKTV, you'll notice that this is a new player. In addition to being resizable for embedders, it also has a different layout, including a controlbar that fades during playback (unless you move the mouse over the video).

This video also uses new encoding settings that will hopefully be more reliable than other videos I've posted. If you have the time, I would very much appreciate it if you would comment (or e-mail) on whether the video played for you (ideally all the way the through). You'll notice that the video tells you which version of Flash you are using -- if you can supply that information along with your comment it would be very helpful.

Thanks in advance for any feedback you can provide on video playback. As soon as I finish debugging the playback issue for longer and higher bitrate videos, I'll be able to move DKTV out of beta and get back to my normal video blogging routine.
