Comments on: Adobe steps up video with new Flash and AIR for Flash gets easier http://ajaxian.com/archives/adobe-steps-up-video-with-new-flash-and-air-for-flash-gets-easier Cleaning up the web with Ajax Thu, 17 May 2012 07:43:39 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Jesse Kuhnert http://ajaxian.com/archives/adobe-steps-up-video-with-new-flash-and-air-for-flash-gets-easier/comment-page-1#comment-254353 Jesse Kuhnert Thu, 23 Aug 2007 06:28:38 +0000 http://ajaxian.com/?p=2685#comment-254353 I know at least one company that has been made very happy by this news. It has the potential to dramatically cut down the amount of resources spent on doing video transcoding - and with the flash player install base there aren't too many worries about distribution. It doesn't affect me overly much, but you've totally made one bleary eyed / quicktime tortured (thanks for the not-support support apple) good developer's year.

Of course you can still "stream" through HTTP.

From what I've read I'd say stick to flash or Director executables. Better pixelcontrol, better gui elements, text to speech, good extras like printtopdf, sound and midi control, .... Microsofts Hta's hardly seen any use, why would Air be any different? Can someone pls. explain what the benefits of Air are?

Does that mean that you can stream pure MP4 videos through Darwin Streaming Server to a Flash Player? That would be perfect for small sites who need quality video!!! The platform comes for free and you reach all Flash audience out-there! you obviously don't have interactivity and You-Tube style coolness, but for pure video that would be great and as cheap as it can be!
