Adobe에서 HD급 퀄리티의 영상을 지원하는 플레이어 "Moviestar" 런칭

동영상 서비스의 핵폭풍으로 작용은 안하겠지만 FLV 인코딩을 솔루션을 국내에서 독점하다시피하는 ON2 Technologies 에게는 큰 피해가 갈것 같네요.

Adobe: This is Tipping Point for H.264

I spoke to Mark Randall, Chief Strategist for Dynamic Media at Adobe, about the news. He told me there were three main points to the Moviestar release:

1) The H.264 support means superior video quality; it is also an open standard.

2) High Efficiency Advanced Audio is, says Mark Randall, a "successor to MP3". He said it is a higher quality audio, but at a lower bit rate.

3) It means "hardware acceleration" for Web video.

Randall also said that this represents a tipping point for the H.264 standard, because now Flash Player is supporting it as well Blu-Ray - two big industry players.
