Adobe released their newest Flash Player Beta tonight and I had to try it.
First of all: Finally, Flash/Flash Video gets wonderful. I am very, very impressed by the quality AND the processor use. While playing the H.264 video my processor never was over 30%. If I compare that to YouTube where the processor is around 50%, I can’t wait to see all the movie sites move to H.264!
Here is a preview screen (please click for actual size)
Conclusion
Great job Adobe! I can see this new version as a big competitor for QuickTime and Stage 6 player. Real high quality in Flash.
