Hi Klaus,
I know that Flash is supported in browsers, but as far as I know we
would still need a player that handles the flv file with buttons like
play and forward.
No, .flv is just a file format, delivered through Flash player, see
- http://livedocs.adobe.com/dreamweaver/8/using/18_medi3.htm
- http://livedocs.adobe.com/dreamweaver/8/using/18_med20.htm#162438
and also "view source" on http://www.spiegel.de/video/ there's just the
Flash player.
Or did I get something wrong?
You put the buttons into your flash object at the time you create the
flash contents. You're right, I also am under the expression that
something may be wrong. This reminds me of Real player's time when people
sold "players" who just invoked Real's plugin and passed it some
parameters for which playback button to show (Real player indeed needs
complicated HTML for video-control +more for button-control) ... Perhaps
they nowadays do so (sell "players") such that one doesn't need a
Dreamweaver license for content creation, I don't know. I'm not familiar
with "products" for which no commercial license was payed.
To make it clear: neither on my husband's SuSE 10.x (linux) PC nor on my
MS$ XP work notebook, both with Opera and Firefox, have I ever downloaded
or installed anything else than Flash x.y.z. player (and played the videos
mentioned by Adrian, in Opera, just fine). And my MS/IE even does not know
about .swf (so one backdor less for viruses), nothing installed here as
well (which could be picked up by other browsers behind my back).
Sorry for no better news.
Cheers
Klaus
Cheers,
Doru

https://www.iam.unibe.ch/mailman/listinfo/moose-dev Hi Klaus,
Is the player from spiegel.de available?
Hi Doru,
you can find it here,
- http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflash/
It's proprietary (as usual) but because of YouTube etc the most
popular
player. Most browser distros (except, as usual, MS/IE) automatically
install that player.
Here's some background,

Cheers,
Doru

Yes Adrian, this one is not bad, almost the same as
- http://www.spiegel.de/
start the "Video News", this is their low-res. You can see their
high-res
by pushing the "enlarge" button (gets you a new web page); there you
can
also right-click the player for full-screen.
I've seen that data transferred roughly doubled between spiegel's
low-res
and hi-res. Also note that their full-screen mode doesn't add
anything
except fresh new void between their pixels ;-)
All in all, not bad. But is it sufficient when you want people to
read
some text from, say, a denser IDE screen. Example: in the FLV player
page
there's a clip with a car, I couldn't read what's on the car's
plate.
Cheers
Klaus
