RipCode is butting its drumhead in Steve Jobs’ war on Flash, as the transcoding company is helping content providers bring Flash videos to the iPad.
The troupe said it volition employment with web sites to create a transcoding layer that tin enable users to view Flash videos on their iPads. They’re betting that many video recording sites ar not quite ready to switching fully to another engineering like HTML5 and RipCode said its product is essentially a video recording-dealing layer in the cloud. This means it won’t involve long consignment or buffer times for the oddment drug user. Because it’s done in the backrest oddment, companies won’t have to vexation about upsetting Apple (NSDQ: AAPL)’s new terms of service for iPhone 4.0.
“The ‘Flash on iPad’ dilemma is really just the latest in a long job of speeding bumps on the road towards ‘any-content, any-time, any-situation, any-gimmick’ that we all desire,” said RipCode CEO Brendon Mills, in a prepared financial statement. “Fortunately, our technology removes this roadblock in a means that is attractive to subject hosters, a key gimmick manufacturer, a keystone video recording player supplier, and the end user alike.”
It’s poise beans but I’m wondering if the lack of Flash is just making publishers adapt to the somewhat-inevitable HTML5 future tense. Netflix, The New House of York Times and other heavy hitters rich person already adopted to reaching the highly-coveted iPhone OS demographic. Well, regardless, RipCode’s solution is an interesting device in the storey.
