anyone have an opinion on wildform flixpro?
 

major mainstream players are moving to flash video.

it looks good to me:

98% of web surfers have browsers with the lightweight flash player already installed.

this particular encoder "flixpro" has an interesting authentication security feature built-in.

anyone using it?

what is the downside of flash video?

it plays really good and looks good on my screen.

thanks!

It's quite good actually. I've got the program and have used it. IT does make good flash movies easily.

The downsized? Simply the one about surfers that aren't equipped with a flash player, OR who are on dialup and don't like a long flash opening screen, etc.

ok Centurion, i appreciate your response.


but don't you think that MORE people have the little lightweight flash player on their machine, than any other media player?

i have not bought flixpro (yet) but i was really impressed with the samples of mainstream websites using this software to encode video.

like the BBC, etc., superb sound and visual, small (relatively) file size.

truth is i don't use video that much on my sites, but when i do i always seem to have members who complain of loading problems, etc.

and then the problems with hotlinkers, and problems getting it to play in the protected member areas.

i'm testing a free variant of flixpro right now:

it cut an mpeg file to 60% of its original size and the darn thing looks and plays (to my eyes/ears) as good as the mpg file.

i will try avi file next.

but, so far, so good.
