So I was reading a detailed explaination of what the new bet Flash player “Moviestar” can do on someones blog, I forgot who that was. After testing this out I realized how cool this update is.
Flash now can play FLV, MOV, QT, h.264 WITH NO FOOLING AROUND. That is a good amount codecs to support. So I desided to try it for myself.
Here is how you get HD into flash.
- GET THE NEW FLASH PLAYER 9 9.0.60.184
- get some HD content. (I downloaded a Steve Carell movie from Apple Trailers)
- change the file extension from .mov (or other valid format) to .flv (so you can trick Flash since all the API is not up to snuff, when it gets out of beta you won’t have to do this)
- go throught usual import video and chose your clandestine .mov file
- set the size to 1920 x 1080 ( the metadata will not auto size it)
- test in the updated flash player browser (using authoring tool player will not do anything) I’d suggest selecting a skin that has Full Screen.
Don’t believe me here is an example | source
