5.0 out of 5 stars Great book to get you started with Flash Video., 1 Mar 2008
By Dave S. (Leeds, UK.) - See all my reviews
Stefan Richter is one of the leading developers in the area of Flash Video.

Flash Video is without doubt set take over the web, simply because of the way it can be integrated with webpage's to create a more dynamic user experience that can also be interacted with, as well as it's ability to be able to perform the functions of a standard web page.

Stefan's book gives a good introduction to Flash Video, starting simply with some of the considerations to be taken into account when preparing your video content, how to compress it and ultimately how to present it along with the various methods of presentation - streaming / progressive etc.

Stefan has devoted 3 chapters to the subject of Flash Media Server including an explanation of how to install and configure the software as well as discussing some of Flash Media Server's more advanced techniques.

Knowledge about this subject is still thin on the ground and this book will give you plenty to go at regarding Flash Video.

Stefan has done a great job, putting a book out that will get people on the first run of the ladder and I highly recommend it.

3.0 out of 5 stars It might not be as expected, 13 Jul 2007
By LMK (UK) - See all my reviews
The good points.
This book is great for the novice who is looking to record and present media in the Flash format. Or even someone moving from another format to Flash.
Just don't look at this book for being able to help with the setup and configuration of the Flash Media Server.
If this book didn't have "Flash Media Server" in the title it would be so misleading....
