What is the future of video on the web?

DannyCox · 09-23-2008

Flash video can be a real pain in the ass to tweak in. I just found that when I get it set up to give me the quality I want, the filesize is as big (or bigger) than a comparable WMV file. I am no expert in Flash, by a long shot, and I am most probably doing something wrong. My conversion program will also do FLV files along with the rest.

Alex made mention of download for TV, and that is becoming more popular with things like Apple TV and the XBOX360 console. I did a test with the XBOX360 with a downloaded video that was a WMV format at 960X540 and played it on my 54" plasma TV. The quality was amazing! I haven't tried the Apple TV as of yet as I don't have one, and don't know anyone who has one.
