vB Audio/Video Podcast Reader

An advanced podcast reader designed for business as well as personal use will soon be available. Currently, the development of this product is quite slow, but due to its unique innovation and advanced features we will have a modification that will literally blow away competition.

The development of just the video features alone will make this product far more advanced than anything ever seen. For the video footage to stream correctly we recommend Flash Player 9 update 3 – this includes the H.264 video and High Efficiency AAC audio codec support, enabling us to bring you a podcast reader with HD quality video. It will support Mpeg-4, H.264, main and high profiles, Mp4, M4A, MOV, MP4V, 3GP and 3G2 content. With H.264 support the bandwidth usage is reduced dramatically over standard FLV, since the compression ratio is much higher.

There are thousands of websites now broadcasting daily/weekly podcasting feeds; these are normally aimed at users with Apple iPods or the Microsoft Zune. However, these devices have limited features on podcasting; with our new product it will not only give you text, photos, audio and video, but also streaming HD video. Ideal for businesses that want to advertise their products in full motion video, but without the high-bandwidth costs involved.

What can you expect from this product...?
For a start it will have audio and video tabs, selecting a tab will then give you a menu system of all available feeds the webmaster has configured. Clicking on anyone of these feeds will give you a number of programmes (podcasts) available, these automatically update – so fresh content is always available. Developed in Actionscript 3.0, allows far more advanced features to be utilized and to run smoother.

A guide to Podcasting will be made available to clients, covering configuration settings and how to setup your own podcasting stream. Examples of HD podcasts will be available, in our demo and the feeds we have used.
