[Flashcoders] MPEG-4 in FMS

2006-02-15 Thread sean
As far as I'm aware, not only is there no way at present of serving out
MPEG-4 format video feeds via FMS but the Flash player itself obviously
won't entertain it. Interestingly, the Flash-Lite player will it seems as
I understand it supports MP4 (MPEG4 basically). From my ongoing contact
with the web/iptv video serving industry I have to say that it seems
Macromedia,
sorry, Adobe, are one of the few not going the standard MPEG-4 route. I'd
really like to hear peoples thoughts on this (especially Macr...Adobe's)
as I recently came across a set top box ip/tv company who wanted to make
their entire front end in Flash (video and program interface) but decided
against it because of the industry trend to use MPEG-4. It would seem that
this hasn't stopped the likes of Moxi and other less well knowns. Your
thought, suggestions and experience would be great to hear on this.

I am fairly ignorant on mpeg4 and the flash player - but i would think mpeg4
requires a fairly beefy machine for playback... and that Flash tries to
lower its lowest common denominator as much as possible.

On2 doesn't require the resources for playback that mpeg4 does. Or perhaps I
am way off on this...
