I too can't decide on whether they are D-9s or Ta-152s.

On the matter of the website

May I suggest a site without this nonsense?
Blip.tv was actually good for long videos, because they allow a bigger video duration (hence the commercials to cover the bandwidth costs). I've been watching a certain starcraft2 commentary over there that can run an hour long. It's like watching a football/sports show for a video game, post match analysis type of stuff on 2-3 consecutive games played by professional players (as in, they often get paid to play in tournaments), so the videos tend to run a bit long.

Until youtube started allowing more than 10 minutes of duration per video for non-affiliated uploaders (something to do with preventing the upload of copyrighted material like movies, they now lifted this restriction since they claim their new algorithms can prevent this), sites like blip.tv where the only alternative for broadcasting full fledged web-based shows. If i'm going to sit through a 1 hour clip and have to let it buffer for a bit as well, i won't mind a few seconds of commercials.

Of course, the situation is reversed when you want to watch a 1 minute clip and you have 15 seconds of commercials to sit through
