Microsoft has spiffed media publishers to use it's products -
- it's using it's riches to fund it's media publishing
effort, operating at a loss to drive others out of business.
That's why Darwin (Apple's media server) is free -- Apple's
the only other company that can do that. See, neither of
them are *really* in the media publishing business. They're
in the 'control the user' business.
Quictime is better than mpeg, but *publishing* Quicktime is
costly. There are tons of free tools for publishing mpeg,
which is why (imo) mpeg is so popular in the porn biz.
Re: Rabbit. You should have told me it was
http://www.getrabbit.com
instead of plain old rabbit.com. It took me a while to find
it. I'm also surprised I don't know about it -- I'm usually
the first to know about online video stuff. It *is* a beta
product, though...
I like the mpeg and qt playback. I like the skins. The slot
is weird. More feedback later.
