Comparing Web Video Technologies, from Flash to HTML5 to Silverlight

Overview

Flash is dead. Long live HTML5. Or not? There’s a lot of misinformation spread by both standards and plug-in advocates. In this session, you will learn the benefits and disadvantages to deploying online video with HTML5, Adobe Flash Player, and Microsoft Silverlight. Topics include codec decisions (AVC/H.264, WebM/VP8, and others), licensing, deployment scenarios (progressive download, adaptive HTTP streaming, and more). While Robert is a full-time consultant specializing with Adobe Flash platform solutions, more and more of his work is encompassing a broader range of online video technologies, including his own online encoding service, videoRx.com. Robert’s discussion starts with his recent blog post.
