Internet Video – New Technology Makes It Easy
Video is popping up everywhere on the Internet – pushed by Adobe Flash technology and wide spread adoption of high speed internet access by small business and home users.
Adobe’s Flash technology is free to download and some estimates say that its found on over 97% of all computers. High speed internet access – DSL, Cable, Satellite, and all their commercial brothers have now reached over 60% of homes and businesses in the US. Add in video on cell phones, PDA’s and assorted other handhelds and you have a prescription for a rabid market for internet video.
Another technology factor is the ease with which both Windows XP based computers and Apple computers handle digital video in all its forms. The plug and play between video cameras, computers, and software has never been easier.
Finally, all this connectivity has been build in to cameras, computers, and even basic video editing software at virtually no cost to the user. Video capture and editing tasks that required thousands of dollars of equipment and software just a few years ago can now be done with $80 – $150 running on a standard PC.
