I’d like to know your thoughts on video, within and without flash. Which is better? Streaming w/ Flash 2004, w/ MX, with a Microsoft .asf, no streaming, just pure download, etc? Which codecs would you use? Sorenson with Flash, Cinepak, etc.?? How do YOU use videos within your agencies and personnal projects?
I’m sure I’m not the only one using video in my projects, flash-based or not.
From what I’ve seen, Flash 2004 works well with vids, MX a bit less. ASF is a fine format, it works well, but from what I’ve heard, it’s expensive to have a asf-streamserver… mov (QT) format is nice too and is probably more popular than ASF (or at least, more used on the sites I surf on). realmedia sucks bad. Any other thoughts? Please please please.
Is it worth it if my company switched from MX to MX2004 for sheer video-use? Any thoughts on the whole video-thing? Is the web starting to get -really- accessible to video formats? etc.
