For bloggers
Bloggers often need to quickly and easily publish videos online but want more control over the player configuration than YouTube or Vimeo allows.

Flash Media Playback allows you to easily take advantage of the latest features of the Flash Platform such as live streaming with DVR functionality, content protection using Adobe Flash Access™ 2.0 software, or multicast capabilities to decrease the traffic burden on internal networks.
