RE: QTJava will be depreciated next year. George Birbilis Mon Jul 14 13:06:11 2008

I'm sorry, I can't agree with this warning/threat.  Right now, the  
simple playback leader is Flash video, because of a very compelling  
deployment story.  What will be interesting is the effect of getting  
the HTML5 <video> tag supported in more and more browsers -- there's a  
large class of developers that only needs playback and maybe a little  
bit of interactivity ("on click, go to time x"), which is easily  
supported with JavaScript.  This works today in Safari and the WebKit  
nightlies (Firefox too, I think?), and with WebKit, you could put that  
kind of approach in a Dashboard widget, among other things.

---> have you tried Silverlight's video playback btw? (www.silverlight.net).
Any comments on that one? (since the Beta supports a subset of the .NET
runtime, one could possibly use Java to C# convertion [or a transcoding
compiler] and a QTJ compatibility layer to make their QTJava app compile for
Silverlight)
