YES, flash makes it much easier to view video. I can't tell you how many times I've visited a website and, after clicking play video, my browser fades back and the QuickTime video opens up in a completely separate application. This can confuse and frustrate your viewer. With flash video, you're much less likely to face these roadblocks. Go Flash!

Go Flash!

Slide shows of still photos that are being touted as videos... Real SD videos that are being called videos... Real HD videos converted to SD videos that being called HD videos... And a consumer that is confused, or doesn't care, about the difference. I don't know if I'm the pot or the kettle! So… we have:
