I think Flash 8 video looks pretty good on the web.
My problems with it are:
- Requires Flash to encode Flash 8 video. Flash is very expensive software.
- Requires Flash 8 plugin to view and is not backwards compatible with
previous versions of Flash plugin (if you can't install quicktime
plugin, you won't be able to install Flash plugin either).
- Still doesn't solve the portability issue with Flash, being that the
video file requires a separate controller for playback. Why can't
Flash natively play Flash video without a controller? I know its
possible to do some cool stuff now with Flash/Actionscript, and there
is a new external API for Actionscript that I need to learn more
about, but that requires way more development in Flash/Actionscript
than I'd care for.
my 2 cents.
