Web/Flash guys - how's he doing this??

[Mark (nonick)]

I have been scouring google the last few days, seeing what alternatives we might have for delivering ultra-high quality video via flash - without the H.264 overhead. I came upon the site below, and it's just insane. I took a peek at his source and folder, and I'm stumped on how he's doing what he's doing.

http://www.flashvideofactory.com/test/de...en123.html

The page consists of three files, an HTML file, and SWF file, and a relatively small 8mb "jpeg" file. I put jpeg in quotes, because it's not actually a jpeg from what I can tell. It won't open in photoshop or MPEG streamclip - so I'm not sure what the file is.

Any ideas or pointed directions would be great - thanks.

there are apps that will decompile flash. however, its likely that the video is being streamed.

its probably just high bandwidth + modern codec.

then again, he's probably not serving it to many people. even google couldn't put up popular video at that quality and survive the bandwidth charges.
