This is coming, but it's not here yet. The next version of the Adobe Flash Lite engine will include support for regular web-video formats: http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/pressroom/pressreleases/200702/021207FlashVideo.html Right now Adobe Flash Lite 2 is being baked into phones, and this supports "device video", where the Player asks the operating system to play a video, and where different devices could require different video formats. The next version of Adobe Flash Lite will smooth over the differences between pocket devices, and also smooth over the difference between pocket devices and laptop computers, so that you can focus more on your content, less on the formats. It will take awhile to finish and deploy, though. (Good point about the compression process itself being a key determinant in final video quality, thanks.) jd -- John Dowdell .
