Challenge to the Flash community : Quicktime is better than Flash ! Prove me wrong if you can ! - Nicolas Guillaume

All that is true, but Quicktime is a media player. A media player just like Windows Media Player, that can be embedded in a page but with all limits of a player. It's not the future. The future is Rich Internet Application with integration of media an application and a fully customized user's experience with pictures in picture, pictures wall, pictures carousel, interactivity into the media,... And also all the design & development tools, the production & broadcast process, and not talking about content protection. Microsoft is no more pushing Windows Media Player and pushed Silverlight into the media world.

Do you mean that none of the iPod on Windows users are happy ?! That sounds quite a lot of unhappy people who keep buying the product ...

you can't be serious.
quicktime has to be the most hated piece of software by most windows user.
and seing how apple deals with all the issues raised by their player on any other platform than osx, this is not going to change soon;

Flash/AS3 is a runtime. Most people don't know this, but quicktime has an absurd and arcane runtime. Quicktime CAN go fullscreen as flash can right now (without maximizing the browser window) but to do this well one enters the "wonderful mystery world" of apple concepts, architecture and avoidence of any sound engineering practice.

There is a brilliant outline called the QTFF (Quicktime file format).. and then there is the player, a terrible Terrible mess made by infintely stupid code monkey hackers.

Stay with AS3/Flash else face a world of crapple, clown suits and deafening screams as you spiral down a never ending pit.

Flash belongs on the iphone.... fess up apple people - you know you want it.

Ce commentaire est une copie de celui que j'ai mis sur www.travailleursduweb.com/ que j'ai vu en premier. Désolé pour le français mais je ne suis pas assez doué en traduction...

Juste pour info, tout cela fonctionne aussi avec Flash et les flv, je viens de tester.

Voici le lien: http://www.baizone.be/flvPlayer/

Développé rapidement et il est tard donc il se peut qu’il y ai des bugs mais je pense que ça fonctionne… accélérations, image par image et fullscreen en cliquant une fois sur la vidéo.
J’espère qu’il n’est pas trop tard pour un commentaire et que ça sera lu

A bientôt.

Sure quicktime has some things on flash and maybe it is a better choice if you want something that is only supported by quicktime, but less people have the plugin and people don't update it as often. It may have more video features but it is nothing in terms of a total solution. Flash has a highly advanced programming language behind it with a very large community of developers. The link that you gave is okay but not amazing. Flash can do all the things that I saw. And your information is a little off. Flash can play two video formats, flv and h264. Flv's can have alpha channels and be layered on top of each other and can be streamed up and down from the streaming server, free ones like Red5 or Adobe's. H264 can only be streamed down and doesn't have the seeking problems that flvs have that you mentioned above, you dont need any hacks to get to any frame in the movie. But h264 doesn't have alpha channels. You aren't looking at the whole picture because flash is much more then a video player. It can play one of the best formats available and has features that other things dont. If it works for your project it is a great choice, if not I totally understand using something else but it is a far better choice then quicktime for most of the things that I see.

@ Roberto : definitely true, but that should be fixed in version 2.2 of the player, this demo being the version 2.0 (don't ask me when, I have something else to work on right now). In the meantime, use the full screen button ...

Tres bien - except of one usability problem which completely destroys the otherwise positive user experience: DO NOT resize the browser !
