Huh... I upgraded my QT with Software Update right before I went to watch this, and it doesn't work at all. I get a frame, then a second of audio, then nothing. I can skip around and that's all I get wherever I scan in the webcast. I've never had trouble watching these webcasts on my Mac before, but this is the exact behavior I always get when I try watch Apple webcasts on my PC at work.

Anyone else having similar problems? Any ideas?

It's dead due to bandwidth. Or so QuickTime states.

" Apple Special Event

Please try again at a later time."

If only their tubes were larger..

There are at least eight instances where my friend and I noted peculiarities in the way Steve Jobs acted.

1: Buttoned shirt.
2: Saying 30-pin connector instead of dock connector.
3: Multiple price points for movies.
4: "One Last Thing" wasn't last.
5: Sneak peaks of iTV.
6: He kept saying flat when referring to TVs.
7: Saying "PCs or Macs" instead of "Macs or PCs" like usual.
8: John Legend. All signs pointed to Bob Dylan playing at the end.

Our guess is that Steve is as dead as Paul McCartney was during the whole "Paul is Dead" hoax.

Did anyone else see any other peculiarities?

No audio here either in QuickTime 7.1.3. However the same stream plays fine in VLC.

I don't know if it's related, but my CarbonAudio (I think that's what it was) library symlink disappeared after the iTunes 7 download. The Quicktime installer failed and I couldn't watch until fixing it. Maybe the new QT update ignores the lack of it's audio library.

What kind of "again" do you mean?
I've never posted anything saying he was.

@John Russell
1) So? Can't the man look more formal? I actually welcomed that change, plus it was only invitation-only all-media event. Makes him look slimmer too :)
2) Nano doesn't use standard dock connector, he only said 30 pin connector when talking about Nano
3) Your point being?
4) Quite a teaser, wasn't it? He says "one last thing", you think aww no more interesting stuff, and then he pull outs more .. great strategy if you ask me when there are big expectations. The phrase grew to a point that it's expected to be heard at each presentation Steve does, it's just time to change things around. But if you really notice, the first time he says "one _more_ thing" .. the second time he says "one _last_ thing" ..
5) yeah, so? Q1 2007 isn't that far. As far as secrets go, they seem to market it as a scaled down Mini rather than something brand spanking new, so that might be why... and it wouldn't be the first Apple product that was announced before it was sold or available for pre-order.
6) Most likely because HDMI and the HD stuff from the iTunes Store will be played on HD TVs, and those are always flat... "flat tv" is trendy and kind of a buzzword
7) Oh no, that must be end of the world! Actually, he says Macs or PCs more often than the other way around.
8) ehh?

Well... it's bullsh*t! Try opening the page in another brower than Safari (I tried Camino), and the webcast loads fine in QuickTime! I still don't undersand why Safari gives that stupid error.

Is there somewhere that I can download this instead of streaming it? I am in China for work and the bandwidth here sucks... I can watch like 1 second at a time, then it skips 5 seconds, then 1 second, etc...

Help!

Anyone have any insight on why things like this, new Apple ads, etc. Aren't available on the iTunes store? I'd gladly pay $1.99 to be able to download this and watch it at the gym on my ipod...

Why's the audio so quiet in Quicktime player? It barely even shows up in the two little levels meters to the right of the progress bar, so some of it is down to the recording. But with master volume at 100%, QuickTime volume at 100%, and volume doubled in A/V controls it STILL comes out quieter than VLC at default 100%. Unfortunately VLC seems to be losing audio/video sync for me...

This has a very weird surround feel on my iMac's internal speakers.

I for one was glad to see Steve looking so much better than he did at the WWDC... at the conference he looked rather ill to me and while he still looks a bit thin (given the way video tends to make you look about a stone (14lbs) heavier than you are) he seemed to be once again in top of the show... watch the 2 shows vavk to vack and see what you think

as to the event in quick time in my case on a 1.333 ghz 17" Powerbook the show looked fine but the audio as lagging out of sync by about 1/2 sec near the end
My new MacPro will be here this afternoon 5 weeks after it was ordered (due to my needing the X1900 card )
