Adobe released a second beta of the
Flash Player 10. This version brings a lot of improvements to the Linux platform:
* optimized sound sound API and sound buffer
* windowless overlay mode now working (Firefox 3 required)
* new embedding modes (
explained by the developer Tinic Uro)
* support for the Video4Linux 2
Older details about Flash Player 10 can be found in my older post or at the
release notes. And of course the beta 2 is
available for Linux too.
Download it and copy the binaries as root to "/usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree". Shutdown your browswer and restart it, open the url "about:plugins" to make sure it's available.

Adobe released today a
first beta of the Flash Player 10.
This version brings a lot more hardware acceleration to Flash and makes it more, more powerfull. Now raster images, video overlays and effects will be rendered with
OpenGL 2.0 directly on the graphics board.
With the new
Pixel Bender language it will be easy for designers to create own effects too. Best of all this beta is
released for Linux too.
Download it and copy the binaries as root to "/usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree". Shutdown your browswer and restart it, open the url "about:plugins" to make sure it's available.

During my own update session and the talk about
WINE at the
Hardy release party Berlin i forget that besides the normal Ubuntu distribution
Ubuntu Studio 8.04 is available too.
Ubuntu Studio is a special edition packed with a lot off tools for creatives focused on Graphics, Sound and Video. It ships with a special dark theme too and supports realtime audio by the kernel. You can update your normal Ubuntu installation to Ubuntu Studio by installing the "ubuntu-studio-*" packages.
Thanx to
Dan for reminding me

I looked for such a tiny tool like
WinFF. WinFF is a simple GUI for
FFMPEG to convert various types of video files (AVI, Quicktime, Flash Video, MPEG) from one into another format. WinFF 0.41 is a bugfix release, all changes can be found in the
release log.
If you are using Ubuntu Linux you can
download a Deb archive too.

Adobe is working on an update for its Flash player 9 that will bring DRM to Flash. Since the popularity of Flash video and the support for H.264 the music and film industry like to get back control of the streamed content. This step could stop the development of
Gnash and
SWFdec, two alternatives to Adobes Flash player, too.

dark side of Adobe at the EFF.org.

Adobe releases the third update of the Flash plugin. This Update includes a lot of new features like support for H.264 video and the High Efficiency AAC (HE-AAC) audio codec. This pushes Flash to HD quality and allowing you to play back existing MP4, M4A, MOV, MP4V, 3GP, and 3G2 content. Many performance improvements were made too.

What ever
UbuntuStudio will be, it looks interesting but we have to wait until April
. For me it sounds like a special distribution of 3d, video, DVD, graphic and sound apps with a special look.
