John Harding, Software Engineer at Google, has posted a lengthy article about the pros and cons of Flash video and HTML5 video support in today’s browsers. It’s fair to say that the post is in essence a major thumbs up to the Flash Platform.
At the Google I/O keynote last week some details of what were announced had already public on the web. In particular it is clear – as was expected – that Google has released the source code for the VP8 video codec. VP8 of course is a supposedly high quality video codec which Google now owns [...]
Jan Ozer was quick on the mark to deliver a side-by-side comparison of video encoded with VP8 (the codec which Google open sourced as recently as two days ago) and H.264, the de-facto codec standard for web video and beyond. You can check out Jan’s tests here on streamingmedia.com but in summary it [...]
Adobe have made some announcements at this week’s Streaming Media East Conference in New York and streamingmedia.com has some great coverage on that.
I got to be honest, I was gearing up for a massive rant on the latest PR effort by Apple in which Steve Jobs is trying to defend the company’s ridiculous anti-Flash stance. But as it turns out I’m far too slow and some of my friends and colleagues have already said what needs to [...]

An audio recording is available for download via FTP here (the RTMFP part starts about 1 hour into the recording).
Interestingly, the [...]
Have you noticed that when viewed in Firefox 3.6 some SWF files seem to mysteriously resize themselves or show a focus border when clicked on. At first I could not figure out what was happening when my fullscreen 100%x100% SWF suddenly forced scrollbars to appear in the browser once it received focus. It turned out [...]
This is not a trick question, but more of a pushback on the recent FUD that various people have been spreading. Quotes such as ‘HTML5 video uses 10% CPU while Flash uses 100%’ were both unprofessional and not backed up by any actual data. The short answer to the above question could in fact be [...]
