Video with Flash MX : A Users Guide : Session 2 of 3

Wednesday, July 10, 2002

Short QA session.
They are showing comparisons of the same video in different players (austin powers trailer):

  • Real Player 225k low badwidth. pretty good quality. (watch scene changes and transitions.) streaming.
  • Windows Media Player : pretty good quality. streaming.
  • Quicktime : good quality. alittle choppy, good encoding.
  • Flash MX : Good quality. low badwidth. comparable to other formats.</UL>

In higher end encoding, the differences between the players become more obvious, with dedicate video players having better quality.
Encoding time:

  • Flash : fast
  • Quicktime : slow</UL>

FileSize

  • Quicktime 4.56 megs
  • Windows medi : 4.54 megs
  • Flash 4.51 megs

When deciding which video codec to use, dont just think of penetration stats today, but think of where it will be in 6 months to a year.

they are shhowing a seinfeld video player, where you pick a character, and the can choose from a number of clips from the show (george has shrinkage). they keep track of how many videos you have watched. every four videos you watch, you have to watch a commerical (they showed a vw jetta commercial). You can play a new video until the entire commerical has run.

end of session.
