Adobe have confirmed that the next Flash Player, currently in beta, will support 480p, 720p and 1080p content encoded with either On2 or H.264.<\/p>\n<p>The bad news is you might have to upgrade your machine to enjoy it. Performance will vary from machine to machine but Adobe estimate that a 2.0 GHz Mac or a 3GHz PC with one or  more processors will be needed to deliver the best quality. Another nice little touch is that Flash Player will go beyond FLV files supporting MPEG-4 files too meaning you&#8217;ll be able to watch Quicktime videos within Flash. Adobe have also announced that version 9 will support vector rendering, full screen mode with hardware scaling and support for Microsoft Active Accessibility (MSAA).<\/p>\n<p>This is great news from Adobe although many people may be excluded if their machines are not high-spec enough. It offers some exciting possibilities though &#8211; maybe one day we&#8217;ll all be watching YouTube clips in high definition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adobe have announced that the next official release of Flash Player (version 9 &#8211; codenamed &#8216;Moviestar&#8217;) will support the H.264 video codec, meaning high definition Flash movies are finally a possibility.
