Adobe releases Media Player software

9 April 2008 23:48 by James "Dela" Delahunty | 5 comments

Adobe has launched the Adobe Media Player along with downloadable content and instructional videos on Wednesday. The new software will rival players such as Microsoft's Windows Media Player (WMP) and Apple's QuickTime. Video content is also being offered by the company, including episodes of CSI: Miami and CSI: New York, along with music videos and similar content.

Adobe aimed for the media player and video service to be free to all users, paid for by showing advertisements. Users can subscribe to their available shows, sort their favorites and get reminders when episodes become available. Whether the shows are available for download or streaming, or are DRM-protected or DRM-free, is totally up to the content provider.

The service, which will work with Vista and Mac OS X, brings about the possibility of advertising content based on the videos in a much better detailed and directed manner than previously done. For example, the clothing worn by actors or the surrounding objects could be advertised to the viewer.

Their system requirements are a load of crap. I'm running it on a P3 XP SP2 with 512Mb of ram and a 128Mb video card. It works just fine nice and clear no problems. I think the biggest issue would be connection speed not system specs (up to a point at least). And no it is not my everyday usage PC. It is just my media "server". [ + quote]
