Then, find out how you can use Flash Access to protect your valuable content. Finally, you'll learn how easy it is to develop custom players that utilise all of these new features rapidly and efficiently using Open Source Media Framework (OSMF).

This workshop will focus on the HTML5 video standard and the various options out there to support it, and will even take a look at the code of a few live HTML5 video deployments, such as the Wikipedia live video beta. Hosted by leading organisations in the open video movement—HTML5video.org and the Open Video Alliance—this workshop will highlight the benefits and challenges of working with the up-and-coming standard, the current status of HTML5 video in the market, and help differentiate between reality and hype regarding the various video standards out there today.

This seminar focuses on producing H.264 video for streaming or progressive download. It will start with a deep look at key H.264 encoding parameters like B-frames, profiles and levels, as well as how to customise encoding parameters for distributing via QuickTime, Flash, Silverlight, and HTML5. After detailing how to operate the H.264-related encoding parameters in tools from Adobe, Apple, Microsoft, Sorenson and Telestream, it will then provide a brief overview of the respective quality output of these tools.
