I am building a video player using Flex for my desktop. With AIR, is it possible to write a decoder to play AVI and .MOV on my system or do such solutions exist?
what i did to my project is i convert uploaded avi to flv, remove the avi after conversion and play the flv. just look for avi to flv converter
It is definitely possible, but I doubt such an approach is trivial. And you will not be able to make use of hardware acceleration. A big complaint about lack of performance in The Flash Player is lack of hardware acceleration when playing video.
If it is important to play AVI / MOV files, I would strongly suggest you look into players that already do this (Quicktime and/or Windows Media PLayer) which are already set up to handle issues like the numerous codecs an AVI file can be encoded in and use of hardware acceleration as appropriate.
If you re still desire to make this all in the Flash Platform, converting the files to FLV is going to be a lot easier on you in terms of development time than writing your on codecs. Camtasia is one software that you can use to convert, but you have to do so in real time, recording the screen. I have found it to be like a swiss army knife of video conversion.
Free conversion tools I have tried balloon file size up astronomically.
I want to disable the tooltip on certain buttons. The tooltip manager seems to be an all or nothing solution. Is it possible to disable the tooltip for just one or two buttons?
