Hi there, I think they've already said that although Apollo is going to support HTML pages, it will not support anything but PDFs, Flash and HTML. I mean, no Quicktime, wmf or stuff like that.

@ben: excellent point! i hadnt thought about the HTML embed route, that's def. something to think about. i want to try it actually just to see what happens. @jon: i'm not familiar with libavec but that is def something to think about and look into as well. it seems like apollo is going to have to support the other video formats at some point to really compete with other desktop authoring environments. also what about artemis right? seems like there may be a way to do something similar for video... (all of this total speculation here too btw, just thinking out loud with you guys.) a little off the original subject, i think it's very cool that this is the first app by adobe in apollo. my suspicion is that this is going to help get the runtime out there. thanks again for the replies guys, awesome input!! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jon Bradley" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com> Sent: Thursday, April 19, 2007 5:25 AM Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Adobe Media Player vs. the competition..?? > > On Apr 18, 2007, at 10:49 PM, ben gomez farrell wrote: > >> I'd say it stands a decent chance of supporting a bunch of formats >> eventually.
