Webcast video...

[cg1200]

I forgot too. Wasn't going to add on anyway--but wanted the free litho!

Oh well.

Not exactly looking forward to tonight's based on everyone saying it was a big let down. How long is it? Is it even worth watching? Sounds like nothing was really announced except AKV which I have no interest in.

Watching now. Mildly amusing so far, audio is fine, but the streaming video quality isn't very crisp (grainy; unfocused...). Seems very webcam ish, not a pro presentation. No DeeVee Cee so far, though. I doubt there will be anything new to post about, but if something surprising comes up I'll write again.

ok I'm watching it and got the blue screen of death? Whats up?

 

[DVCGeek]

Not just you; during the incentives Firefox crashed on me. But I reconnected and it's be fine since then. I didn't win any of the prizes...

The whole thing sounded and looked like a big commercial on QVC.

 

[Deb & Bill]

They really are pushing using your points for anything other than DVC resorts, aren't they?

They did have a second screen during tonight's webcast that noted to call your guide or click on the box to speak to someone about other offers at BLT, VCG, SSR.

And I also thought the video was very grainy - poor quality. I had a very hard time reading the family names on the photo album pages.

Firefox crashed during the incentives for me too. I did get it back up and running.

I wasn't really all that impressed with the webcast.

Yes, definitely pushing the other uses of your points - lots of talk of ski resorts, DCL and Europe.

Also got the "technical difficulties" screen on the right side and the blue screen on the left. Happened during Casey's shpiel from EPCOT.

Agree that you couldn't read the family names well during the testimonial portion - the effect I got was almost a reflection of an artificial light gleaming off a printed document - center of the video was "white out".

Wonder what the next incentive will be?

 

[KYCruiseCrazy]

is the video worth watching if you are planning to buy DCV??? We want to get into it next year Anyone?

 

[3amigos]

we aren't we just added 100 points at AKV and got 100 2009 points!

The prices won't last that long and if you are a regular here and have already learned a lot about the DVC program you probably wouldn't get much from their speil. So is it "worth it"? Probably not, but that depends on what you really mean by that. However, if you register and would like the free litho, go for it! That's mainly why I signed up; curious if anything new might be said (their wasn't) and Mouse related freebies are nice. I had it open on one screen and was surfing the boards intermittently on the other (dual monitors rock! ), so minimal loss of my time!

Firefox crashed for me too! I took it as a sign that this was not the right time or the right offer!!

You are making me glad I forgot about watching it.

That's an insult to QVC

Just poor all around.

I thought they did a wonderful job with the video. I mean being able to shoot the whole thing using a Flip Video Camcorder was just amazing. I was wondering do you think they used the new HD Flip or the Standard Def one.

Kind of a let down for me as well.... However, the thought came to me (and they don't come often) if they can offer this kind of service, why can't they broadcast the yearly association meetings.

There would be no need for glitzy back drops and staging, but all of us that can't make it to Florida every year, could at least hear and see whats going on....

I had the same thought. Pretty embarrassing in this day and age. The on screen people were also pretty dreadful. They should have let Casey do the whole thing. She at least has some charisma.

OK, my newbie status is showing here, but where do you get access to the webcasts? I haven't received my pkg yet from DVC, though curious because my guide said he'd FedEx it Thursday Morn.
Do I need my DVC info first to access this?
More importantly, did I as a new member miss something important? Maybe a better incentive on my 240-pt BLT purchase ($5 off for $115/pt)?

I found out about it here:

You might have; although the incentive is officially for people who attended the webcast only (and it focused on presenting deals for AKV), call your guide ASAP and ask them about it and perhaps complain about not getting an invite; there is a good chance they will give it to you if you haven't signed all your documents yet (or are within your 10 day right to rescind period).

Good luck!

I knew it was going to be a train wreck very early. One of the first things they said was how wonderful it is to give the gift of travel
