s Flash becomes more and more popular as a Web video delivery platform, I receive more and more questions regarding its use. In fact, I receive more inquiries about video than any other Flash-related topic. When you consider the video delivery marketplace, it's easy to understand why. The Flash Player reaches more users than any other video player, including QuickTime, Windows Media Player, and Real Player, so developers are looking to Flash in increasing numbers for their video needs.
I may not be able to respond to every email I get, but I can dedicate my next several articles to answering many of the Flash video-related questions that readers and students ask me. This month, I'll discuss Metadata in FLV files: why it's important, why it's not always there, and how you can create metadata when it's absent.
It's quick, easy and you get access to all the articles on DevX.
