A Good Day For Screencasters - Flash Player 9 Update 3 Released (H.264 and HE-AAC Support!)

As I mentioned earlier this new version of the flash player supports MPEG-4 AVC (H.264) and High Efficieny AAC (HE-AAC). Check the press release for some details. Well, there isn't much of a surprise there.

What's surprising tho is that it was released for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and Solaris simultaneously. Way to go Adobe! :)

Grab it while it's hot!

Update: There seems to be some issue with Adobe's mirrors. Right now it claims it would be 9,0,115,0 (the version I spoke of), but the version I'm actually getting is 9,0,47,0. I guess I have to wait a bit.

Update2: OK. Seems to work now. Unfortunately the "lossless" H.264 mode from ffdshow tryouts still doesn't work. It's a shame really, since that one would have been perfect for screencasts.
