Well Im no fan of windows media, but Im also more than a little
skeptical about hopes that Apples market share is going to go large
enough soon enough to make your conclusions totally valid.
Is all this 'market share' stuff just based on volumes of computers
sold in any particular quarter? If so

I have a few replies to various things posted on this thread.
1) Apple's market share. Steve Watkins says he doesn't see many Macs in the
UK. Yes, I
agree, it varies by geography. In the San Francisco Bay Area, where I am, Macs
have far
greater than 10% share, maybe as high as 20% or more,
Has anyone here been playing w/ the new Flash Video Encoder included
w/ Flash 8 Pro? The On2 VPC codec produces a pretty nice file. I
haven't had time to test compression. This output requires the
flash 8 plugin to playback. I have been having some problems with
the new flvplayback
Have you checked out all the licensing stuff on DivXs site? Thats the
biggest part of the puzzle not yet completed yet as far as DivX goes.
Too many strings attached at the moment, video distributors appear to
be treated differently to creators, and only being granted a license
to share divx stuff
Has anyone here been playing w/ the new Flash Video Encoder included w/ Flash 8 Pro? I recently switched to Flash 8 from QT. The quality is much better than it was in Flash 7. I think the compression is better, too.Only problem, is that a lot of people still haven't upgraded their players.
I think Flash 8 video looks pretty good on the web.

- Requires Flash 8 plugin to view and is not backwards compatible with
previous versions of Flash plugin (if you can't install quicktime
fyi, Steve is referring to 'Indy' License which can be found here:http://www.divx.com/company/partner/indies/Your concerns are legit. Let's see what Jim has to say about it
However, worse case for a vlogger using DivX today and who want to provide more licensing flexibility so that others
Speaking of cool thing w/Actionscript and flash video... Keith
Peters over at bit-101.com did a cool example w/ a webcam. If you
have a webcam...check out his sept. 8th entry. You have to click on
lauch bit 101 experiments at the top of the page.

I was thinking of the remix situation from the remixers perspective,
they cant publish the final mix in DivX format under the Indy licenses
current terms (unless somehow it considers them to be the copyright
holder).
But yeah the reason Im harping on about this stuff now is because DivX
has
dig. i think maybe their are some cc license loopholes that remixers can take advantage of if using DivX. I'm glad you are bringing up these issues though... because I want the community to become more aware of DivX technology and of course, its feasibility in terms of licensing issues.
