AIR Sample Application – Movie Trailers

August 25th, 2007

If you haven’t heard Adobe announced that the next dot version of Flash Player will include support for h.264 video and AAC Audio Support (I realize that this is over simplifying it a bit – there are some things that are supported and some things that aren’t – if you want more info – Read Here). Daniel Dura also stated that h.264 / AAC support with be in AIR no later than Air 1.0.

I already have big plans for this. Just for fun, I decided to try and make a prototype of an application that would display movie trailers from Apple. This initial version of the application does nothing more than display an interface very similar to Apple’s Frontrow (see Frontrow at Flickr). Once AIR supports the new h.264 standards, I will integrate the video into this as well. As for now, selecting a video simply opens a web browser to the trailer page. Pressing “f” goes into fullscreen mode.

WARNING: With the Beta version of AIR – if you use the navigateToURL function [ Flex | Javascript ], Firefox will occasionally not take “focus”, especially if you are in Fullscreen mode. So, if you click an item 3 times, if just opened three tabs.

NOTE: Just another great comment about Flex – I build this whole application in about three hours (and most of that was figuring out how to best parse the Apple RSS).


The following trailers have bee created with an extending twist!

Newsreader:-
From:- The utube blog.

News: Last week, I reported that YouTube removed Smosh’s mega-popular Pokemon video after receiving a DMCA notice (for copyright infringement), notwithstanding a strong parody fair use claim for Smosh. Under the DMCA, a website has a greater chance of staying within the safe harbor (and avoiding copyright liability) if it expeditiously removes content identified by a copyright holder in a DMCA notice.

One of the fallouts of the take down is that Smosh lost over 24 million views to its tally, placing it back closer to lonelygirl15 — 56 million to 52 million. If you are not aware, Smosh and lonelygirl15 are No. 1 and No. 2 in total views on YouTube for amateur productions.

Conclusion:-

Video hosts, like youtube have a responsibility towards label owners and producers. The hosts are obliged to remove copies of complete songs or film footage and suspend the offending accounts.

The Author and director of – THE DEFINITIVE VIDEO JOCKEYS GUIDE, suggests that in order to avoid complaints from copyright owners, you should record and mix short pieces of music and film, in the proposal that the copyright owners may welcome the exposure, enticing the viewing public to buy the original works. Video examples are given below (changed regularly for demo purposes).
