i used to spit on it in relation to videoblogging/vodcasting.
the one gripe that still prevails is that you cant remix it.... so it excudes that part of this culture. which sucks bad. you could transcode flv to mp4 of course, but its another step and potential lossy issues.
but, flv has a very important role that should not be ignored by anyone... businesses focus on it for good reason.
you may not be able to remix it easily, but you can share it...and everyone can play it online and soon offline playback will be mor ecommon too.
and as soon as XSPF video player is ready, that will be huge.
even without XSPF, there are other xml playlist formats that flv players use.
playlists, in my opinion, are a huge part of our culture. revlogs are playlists. metafeeds are playlists etc.
even fireant and others will eventually have proper support for flv playback if not already.
imagine if flv played on the video iPod. it could if *they* chose to allow it.
maybe macromedia or some other company will one day come out with a device that does? imagine that. some cell phones already do, right?
