Re: A bit of a survey… Is anyone still…
by Bob Woodhead on Jun 30, 2008 at 1:42:31 pm

Using Director simply as a method to play video, regardless of medium, is over-complicated. Director shines when you need to go beyond merely playing a video (perhaps even with accompanying text), but into complex variables, acquiring realtime data from the Net to incorporate into presentation, using Flash animations, sending data captured during playback, alternate media, etc etc. Flash itself of course has grown into a very viable alternative, and probably has more top-end programmers available. But only when On2 video codec became available was the video quality acceptable (to me).

I've created a number of Director projects, and hardly scratched the surface of what was possible. But Mark is right - it's very hard to find GOOD Lingo programmers. I wish I was doing more Director work... it can be very rewarding to build a custom media-based application for a client. Trouble, you lose your programming chops very quickly.
