Adobe has
released a beta of Moviestar, an update to its
Flash
Player 9 software.
The new version adds support for the H.264 video codec, also known as Mpeg4
part 10, as well as the HE-AAC audio codec.
The update also introduces support for multi-core processors as well as a
full screen movie mode with hardware scaling and a cache for platform components
such as the
Flex
network.
Flash is a popular format for streaming videos and is supported by most
popular video sharing services including
YouTube
and
Yahoo
Video.
The addition of h.264 support allows for better video compression, which is
expected to enable high-definition videos to be streamed over the web.
The codec is already supported in slew of applications, ranging from video
services for mobile phones to the HD-DVD and Blu-ray high definition DVD
standards.
The Moviestar beta will be available later today from
Adobe
Labs.
