Adobe Flash Drop Kicks Competition with “Moviestar”

Early this morning Adobe dropped the bomb that we all have been waiting for.

Headline: HDTV Quality Web Video Reaches the Masses With Industry Standard Video Codec in Flash Player

There are a ton of technical details that could be listed here…but I will spare you. If you want the hard core details, visit one of the lead developers blog here.

For me, here is what I am fired up about:
* Amazing video quality that runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux
* Radically improved audio quality
* Standard H.264 support and integration
* Optimized for dual-core processors
* Harware scaling, improves Full Screen option and CPU load

A very large project that will kick off in a few months just radically improved because of this release! Better late than never, right?

  • terry…know much about google’s office program (star or something) that’s available for free…opens word docs, etc.

    gotta love google…

  • woohoo!

  • Coolness.. Do you have any plans for implementing it in LightCastMedia? The quality of h.264 is simply outstanding. I can’t wait to see what happens.

  • Michael…Star Office? Star office is a Sun Micro product, and works very well. Looks like Google has added it as a add in to there Google Pack…good stuff.

    WhooHoo for sure…

    Peter…you bet. The Team is already working on it. We have anticipated this for a while, so the backend was already being “prepped” for the conversion.
