Flash videos in websites

[Cloud Strife]

Why are more and more websites moving towards flash videos rather than windows media/real format? Better compression?

that, and moreso that you dont have to fuss with codecs and such, and its cross-platform

But you can't save the videos as easy anymore.

I think that's the point. If you want to see the video, you also have to see the ads.

exactlly. they don't want you too most of the time. that way you go to their site and see their adds. plus, as long as it isn't streaming flash, just look in the cach for the swf file. i don't think you can save the movies from youtube, but from google video, you can download the movie for PSP/iPod.

You can save youtube videos, you just don't know how.
