LongTail Video Launches New Version Of Its Open Source Video Player, With Support For Apple HLS in Flash

LongTail Video Launches New Version Of Its Open Source Video Player, With Support For Apple HLS in Flash | Video Breakthroughs | Scoop.it
From techcrunch.com - November 15, 2012 3:46 PM

For years, LongTail Video has offered its open source JW Player as a free alternative for businesses that don’t want to put their videos on YouTube or pay SaaS-based content management players like Brightcove or Ooyala. But it doesn’t have all the features and functionality they might like — for instance, built in support for Apple’s HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) adaptive bit-rate protocol. The new version of the JW Player — JW6 — seeks to correct that, while also improving the UI and speeding up playback.

Nicolas Weil's insight:

While not mentionned as a use case, there is a good potential with second-screen situations where we need to get a precise timecode for the program.

MPEG Augmented Reality Tutorial

From fr.slideshare.net - October 30, 2012 6:18 AM

A tutorial from Marius Preda, MPEG 3DG chair, at the Web3D conference in August 2012.

 

MPEG's application format dealing with augmented reality reached DIS status and is only one step away from becoming in international standard. In a nutshell, the MPEG ARAF enables to augment 2D/3D regions of scene by combining multiple/existing standards within a specific application format addressing certain industry needs. In particular, ARAF comprises three components referred to as scene, sensor/actuator, and media. The scene component is represented using a subset of MPEG-4 Part 11 (BIFS), the sensor/actuator component is defined within MPEG-V, and the media component may comprise various type of compressed (multi)media assets using different sorts of modalities and codecs.

VP8 could become MPEG standard

VP8 could become MPEG standard | Video Breakthroughs | Scoop.it
From www.h-online.com - March 8, 12:36 PM

With the clearing of the patent issues that have cast a shadow over VP8's acceptability to open standards organisations as a open, royalty-free video codec, it is likely that its next major stop is becoming an MPEG standard. According to Rob Glidden, video patent analyst, Google proposed VP8 as the codec for MPEG's IVC in January. IVC is the name of one of the tracks that the ISO/IEC MPEG working group wasexploring in its search for a royalty-free codec for web video and other uses. It had been looking at technologies where the patents were expiring.

 

But it appears that Google wanted to give the process a boost. Glidden points to a posting on the Internet Engineering Task Force mailing list from a Google WebRTC developer, where the Google/MPEG LA deal was announced, that notes:

 

7. Submitted VP8 to ISO SC29/WG11 (MPEG) in January of this year
for standardization.
