Case for H264

[Chris Borjis]

[Jason Brown] “Does anyone know why/if Windows media player can or will play h264?”

no.

for us here, we ask our clients if its a mac or pc that will be viewing the approvals.

mac gets h.264
pc gets windows media

if they need both, we make both.

nobody has complained in 2 years.

Hi there,

I have had massive success by creating a h264 at 500k with fast start and acc 80khz audio then all I do is change from a .mov the .flv – create a web page with flow player as a container and everyone can view it … No need for dup formats and looks awesome ( sorry starting to sound like mr jobs )

My next point then, how do you get H264 encoded movs to play in flash player? I tried renaming to flv and that alone didnt seem to get it to work…

There was a discussion going on over in the Adobe After Effects forum regarding this exact conversation (h264 in a Flash playback container). Todd Kopriva had some good links…having trouble finding it this morning… 🙂

Hi guys, looks like you are on European time – me too

ok all I have done in the past is create a Flash Doc with a container in there – create the H.264 files

512×288
500Kpbs
80K audio

and change the extensions .. you can also use flowplayer (bit of coding)

I created a site for my close friends that uses this technology ..

https://www.caboose.tv

have a look and you will see the quality and load up speed, how are you loading the FLVs now ? via flash or another container ..

Hope this helps

Sounded very interesting, Craig. Although, it sounds like you are making your own YouTube.

You had my at: “everyone one can view it”.

Just went to flow players website on an iPhone and I need flash 9 to view their page. :\

Bummer.
