Unraveling the Mysteries of Flash Video Delivery

Video and audio delivery in Flash used to be fairly straightforward: progressive or streaming. You finally got that sorted out, now suddenly you have a plethora of protocol choices- RTMP, RTMPE, RTMPS, RTMPT, and the new RTMFP and even HTTP Streaming! If you need help sorting out the alphabet soup of protocols, this is the session for you. Lisa will explain in plain english (well, as plain as possible) what your delivery options are and the pros and cons of each. You will learn the specifics about HTTP Streaming, including the technical format details, tools for preparing your content for this new delivery method, and overall workflow for both live and on demand streaming. Finally, we'll bring it all together using Open Source Media Framework to build players that use each of the available formats.
