Welcome

Early stage investments in creative and well executed ventures.

The year of online video

Macromedia must be enjoying themselves. They were sold to Adobe whose shares are up significantly since the acquisition and the whole world seems to love their video format. What happened to Real? What happened to Apple?

Now, there is a new video site popping up every week and the world is loving them. Nobody can stop talking about the YouTube’s and the Click.tv’s and the Addicting Videos. And Flash is a heavily used format throughout this ecosystem.

And why not? The possibilities when embedding the video are pretty much limitless. The authoring tool itself is incredibly slick. The encoding process is easy enough. And, the integration with other Macromedia tools such as Dreamweaver makes it easier still. But the video quality is also fantastic. My bet is that Macromedia embraces a new codec in the future though.

That’s a very interesting discussion. h.264 could be looming.
