Comparing Web Video Technologies, from Flash to HTML5 to Silverlight
Session Details
Location: Shiley Hall, Room 124
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 learn the benefits and disadvantages to deploying online video with HTML5, Adobe Flash Player, and Microsoft Silverlight. Topics include codec decisions (AVC/H.264, Theora, and others), licensing, deployment scenarios (progressive download, adaptive streaming, and more). While Robert is a full-time consultant specializing with Flash-based solutions, more and more of his work is encompassing a broader range of online video technologies. Robert's discussion starts with his recent blog post, http://tinyurl.com/whyflash.
