The company produces several applications, including direct-to-disk recording software DVRack as well as video tools Visual Communicator and Vlog It. After having practically no market share in the streaming video market, Flash has quickly -- and silently -- become the de facto standard for Web video. Sites like YouTube and MySpace have put Adobe at the forefront, and the format continues to gain momentum."</i><br /><br />Maybe this is the answer to the codec problems of the world. No, I don't mean the Flash format itself, we just need one company to acquire all the others companies so that we have only one file type to deal with.
