[Chad Briggs] "So if the qt player in your application could be codec agnostic, i'd def take a hard look at it."
Hi Chad! Yup, it's completely agnostic. It'll play whatever your system has installed. For example if you're on a Mac, it'll play any QuickTime-wrapped codec that's native to it, like Sorenson, Sorenson 3, Cinepak, H.264, DV25, PNG, Animation, you name it (if you can encode it, Media Batch can play it... just make sure your client can support the codec too). Furthermore, it'll support DivX, Real, AVI, WMV, MPEG-1 and anything else so long as it's on your local system. And it'll play back a bunch of audio formats as well; MP3, AIFF, WMA, Real Audio, etc. Image formats include JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, BMP, etc.
And yes, there are some gamma issues with H.264, but I just can't help using it... such nice quality and low file sizes! With Media Batch though, I do prefer On2 VP6 FLV for the timecode features.
