Flash Video in High Def

Yesterday, Adobe announced that the new version of the flash plugin will support the H.264 video format with high-performance AAC audio (same as HD-DVD and Blue-ray disks). Here is a link to their press release. To use it, you will need to manually uninstall the current version of flash and install this version.

Here are a few examples:

http://worldtv.com/labs/ (The video is produced by BBC)
http://www.dvlabs.com/ (I know it is an ad for VW...it still look great for Web based video)

p.s. Apologies the lack of postings. I have been heads down on building a social network for one of my clients. Checkout www.myafh.org
