I found the post. It would be nice to have standardised metadata, but it seems to be something that's a long way from now, espessially since nothing of the sort is beeing promoted or pushed by Adobe.
Metadata aside though, I think it's a bit of a flaw to not have dimensions ready when the buffer is full all the time, it seems quite illogical to me. I mean seriously, how hard is it for Adobe to have a consistent and flawless way of accessing duration and dimensions, it seems such a basic requirement, but oh well.. </rant> On Mon, Nov 10, 2008 at 4:44 PM, Juan Delgado <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I sent an email to the list not time ago regarding this issue.
