[Fsfe-uk] BBC trial of embedded Flash video

[David M]

The BBC is trialling embedded video in BBC News webpages, using the  
Flash plugin as the delivery method.

In a shrewd move, one of the first articles to feature these is a  
tech-related news article. If you (can) view the video clip, you are  
then offered the option to comment on it and sign up for a research  
panel if you wish.

I suggested in my response that ideally using an open-source video  
delivery format would be the best solution, but from my personally  
'realo' perspective, it's actually quite nice, a definite improvement  
on the cumbersome pop-up "BBC News Player".
