Treehouse video beard rendering technology

What's the deal with video quality and buffering on this site?

It seems like in any video where the presenter has a beard the video constantly buffers. I don't need to see every individual stand of hair on the face of Jim Hoskins or Craig Dennis. Chalkers beard seems to load okay, could be related to him being a ginge.

How about some video quality select options where I don't need to download files or go to itunes? Beards are ruining my user experience.

I have not experienced that problem, is there any chance it might be a problem on your connection? Whenever you're experiencing these issues, try checking your connection. Providing more information might enable us to help you.

It's just that my connection is not fast, high speed connections aren't available where I am. Mostly okay, but I am finding some videos are just too high quality to load on site.

Ok, I hadn't thought of that problem. I recommend you to provide this feedback to Treehouse, which you can do here: help@teamtreehouse.com

Hopefully they can provide users with some video-quality setting as you mentioned.
