Video 3.0, sans-Flash
The web has grown up in terms of multimedia. It started off with video files just rawly linked in a page, download to view.
Then came the in-browser plug-ins and depending on what you did or didn’t have plugged in you may or may not have been able to see what the website had to offer. I particularly remember stupidvideos.com and having to use the Quicktime plug-in.
Enter Flash. Although it was around for a while it didn’t enter the video space until it was mature enough. Soon every site was serving up our hilarious cat videos with a Flash video player.
Now this is where we stand. Flash is serving up our video content. Being pushed from a variety of different services. Services like the Adobe Flash Streaming Server and others using FLV files stored in CDN’s. It’s probably the best media distribution that has reached the majority of web users to date…
HOWEVER…
