Adobe wants you to create Flash High Definition videos

12 Dec

The price is down and the new Flash HD streaming is going up, flash video streaming server prices have been slashed, and Adobe wants you to create more content in High Definition, starting January 2008.

The open H.264 standard is not going to be used only in Blue-Ray or HD-DVD, we will be able to encode online videos with the High Definition standard used in movies. With more consumer cameras in the market claiming or having real high definition, we will see better quality movies streaming in Flash, therefore your home-made videos are going to have better quality, even if you are a lousy camera operator.

Is YouTube going to be the next high definition provider with high definition content?, not likely, at least not in the short-term they will not rush to it, we will see different content provider that will jump to the boat right away, more movie trailers will be shown in high definition, and I bet you they will not be using the QuickTime player H.264 codec, but it will be widely accepted but all the iPhone users.

This Flash Player 9 update 3, features hardware accelerated, multi-core enhanced, full-screen video playback for high-resolution, this is big!, it is going to be able to play Full-Screen videos in your low end processor.Adobe Flash Media Server 3 will be available in January 2008. Adobe Flash Media Interactive Server 3 will be offered at $4,500. For single-server deployments, Adobe Flash Media Streaming Server 3 will be available at $995. Adobe Flash Player 9 Update 3 is available now for free download .
