Not yet, they says it is expensive, several thousand dollars to set up an example, but they're going to provide links to other clients sites using the same technology, which we haven't received yet?
I was on their web site, and they do have links to other customers, but when I went on those web sites their downloads looked like any other, they buffer a little bit, and then the video starts, and on my first attempt I had to download a flash component... Their promise of instant-on, high quality streaming videos that is independent of the capabilities of the receiving computers bother me. I went on Adobe's web site and researched their software. They have a product called Adobe Flash Media Interactive Server 3.5, and in its doc's it states: "H.264 video and HE-AAC audio Enable up to 1080p HD delivery to the Adobe Flash Player and Adobe AIR runtimes, as well as Adobe Media Player software, with industry-standard H.264 video and HE-AAC audio streaming." Which to me means users need an Adobe Flash Player on their pc. It also states: "Dynamic Streaming Keep your viewers longer with a better viewing experience, no matter what their connection speed is. Dynamic Streaming is a new quality-of-service monitoring feature that lets you detect any changes in your viewer's bandwidth and smoothly switch between streams during playback helping to ensure a high-quality, uninterrupted stream. Dynamic Streaming uses standard H.264 and VP6 files and is ActionScript® controlled." I'd love to hear opinions from anyone using this product. What are the real world experiences for the end user...
