    Encore Flash Output: What about HTML5?

    cutmymovie Community Member

      I absolutely love the DVD (and Blu-Ray?) output to the Web feature of Encore. I've used it many times for my wedding videography clients to have an on-line version of their wedding they can share with friends and family.

       

      However, the biggest drawback has long been that Apple Iphones/Ipods will not play them. And therefore Brides or Grooms cannot show their friends or family their wedding while visiting them, unless they're at their computer, and if they have the latest version of flash, and so on and so on.

       

      And lately HTML 5 has entered the web video discussion. Many know about Apple's resistance to Adobe with the Flash issue. And now, did I just read that Google Android will stop supporting Flash?!

       

      As much as I love this feature I am greatly concerned it will fall by the wayside. And more importantly, all the previous wedding video Flash versions of my DVDs I have already made. I am worried all my hard work will have to be re-captured from a video DVD disc in order to view on the web in the future.

       

      My question is, what is Adobe doing to address this? It would be incredible to see some kind of side conversion program to convert Encore Flash DVD files to HTML5 or something compatible with smartphones and portable devices.
