H.264 Flash Video Test

If you haven't heard by now, Adobe released a beta update to the Flash Player, codenamed “Moviestar,” that adds H.264 video support to Flash. This is a big step for Adobe in securing Flash as a major choice in delivering video over the web. Flash Player developer, Tinic Uro, gave a great post on his blog explaining all the new video/audio functionality added into this latest update.

Here is my H.264 test. Along with the CS3 FLA source. It is a 165 mb MOV, so give it some time to buffer up. I renamed the extension to FLV, this was the only way I could get it to work. I did test with MP4s, which also work great. It plays pretty good if you have a decent processor. Adobe has some recommendations on what system and connection you should have to view Flash HD video properly. I'll try to keep this test up, at least until my bandwidth is used up for the month.

Next stage = streaming HD TV thru Flash?!?
