[Flashcoders] Q:Flash Player update and Impact on 3D in Flash
Great news! http://www.kaourantin.net/2007/08/what-just-happened-to-video-on-web_20.html I was just wondering what impact if any this will have on the future of 3d in Flash. One of the drawbacks of 3d in Flash (Sandy , PV3D) has been the lack of hardware acceleration . Any thoughts?

Um... that is a really good announcement. But I don't understand your question's relevance - I don't see any announcement about hardware acceleration or 3D? Don't mistake MPEG4 video support for MPEG4 multimedia/3D support.

Those have nothing to do with 3d. This is basically the inclusion of the MainConcept MPEG4 decoding engine - which is the same code in FlipFactory and almost all other licensed h.264 decoders. The multi-threaded (multi-core CPU) work they are doing will have an effect though. cheers, jon ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com

In the context of video acceleration since the hardware, of not available then software, will be decoding and displaying the video. There's no mention of hardware being used to accelerate non video playback. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of eric e. dolecki Sent: 21 August 2007 15:49 To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Q:Flash Player update and Impact on 3D in Flash The updated support will allow Flash Player to take advantage of hardware acceleration provided in computer video cards ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com

Eric - firstly, what's that quote from? I can't find it on either Tinic's site or the Yahoo site he links to. Secondly, the Adobe press announcement seems quite clear: as well as hardware accelerated, multi-core enhanced full screen video playback. That's hardware acceleration _for the playback of video_. That's nothing to do with talking to the 3D rendering pipeline.

Ahh true. H.264 support for playback with the aid of video cards. Wondering if BitmapData stuff will see any improvement along with video (pushing pixels to screen with less software). I would guess yes. If so, Papervision3D use bitmap data. - eric On 8/21/07, Paul Venton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In the context of video acceleration since the hardware, of not available then software, will be decoding and displaying the video.

Saw that quote in an Apple Dev forum, so it could be wrong. I'll take this news at face value for now then - it kicks ASS. - eric On 8/21/07, Ian Thomas [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Eric - firstly, what's that quote from?
