It may already be in here somewhere, but has anyone found an internet site that promises to cover every vault of the qualifications and/or finals? If so, could you post the address? Thanks for any info.

NBCOlympics.com but I really don't think they are showing the track events live. Plus I think you have to have Windows Vista to make it work.

I have Vista on one of my laptops. The video quality is easily some of the best I've seen on the web ever. I imagine there's an unreal amount of bandwidth being used but it literally only buffers for 5 seconds to start and I've ran it for over an hour straight without it rebuffering.

I have a Mac Powerbook. I just went to the NBC site. When I clicked that I wanted to watch live video it informed me that I needed to download and install a free plug-in for Microsoft Silverlight to watch on my Mac. I was watching the Brazil/Hungary Womens Team Handball game live within three minutes (including the time to download and install Silverlight). The video quality is very good.

Its a little out of date, but via a feature in Windows Media Center on my laptop, I was able to download high quality footage of the Women's Trials from Eugene that NBC aired. I am using a program called TV Tonic. I can't figure out where the file is stored on my computer, so I can't upload it for the time. I'll keep working on it though.

Even if it's not on the live schedule, it may appear afterwards under "Long-form Rewinds". This is the unedited video feed of single events. With any luck there will be a camera dedicated to each field event.
