Digital Video - September 2008 - (Page 29) YouTube and your own private video darknet) is refreshing indeed compared to the likes of Rhapsody and Sprint TV. Currently targeted for devices running Windows Mobile 6 (i.e., the Palm 800W) the $30 KMB will soon support Symbian, PalmOS and eventually Linux on Linux-based cellies. Even on a $50 phone with a sub-200-meg processor, the app executes smoothly and intuitively (even better with a 3G Web connection). If credentials for fee-based media services are required, KMB can manage them for you seamlessly across multiple services. I asked Mr. Hoddie what DV media producers need to know to target the KMB platform, such as it is. He replied that all major file formats are supported (QuickTime, Flash, WMV, MPEG-4, etc.) regardless of codec or whether a specific OSspecific player is installed. This is huge when you think about it, but not surprising given management’s collective CV. I’ve got to say that, while I’m still hooked on the endorphin-generating iTunes/iPhone experience, the KMB does a lot more media-wise even better. DOWNLOAD YOUTUBE FLVS WITH REALPLAYER 11 www.real.com I had removed RealPlayer from most of my machines until a month or so ago, when, while extolling the virtues of Flash 8 to a potential client, I added, “And it’s really hard for the average user to save an FLV to his or her desktop.” To which the potential client responded, “What about that button that says ‘Download This Video’ when I go to YouTube?” “Must be a new YouTube thing,” I sputtered. Turns out it’s a RealPlayer 11 thing (I missed the announcement at All Things D in June), and what a thing it is. Yes, the RP install is still a pain and the post-install nags are still frustrating, but once you get past all that, you just point, and click the button at the top of the video window (or right-click the video window itself) to start downloading the FLV (not the SWF). You could do this in the past with QuickTime, Windows Media and MPEG1 assets (using various player controls), and now Flash is finally vulnerable unless you apply DRM, which I guess all those Flashpowered adult sites will now have to do. http://www.real.com http://www.microsoft.com/expression http://www.microsoft.com/expression
