nsane.forums Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 According to a recent blog post by Adobe's John Nack, the next version of Flash Player (10.2) will be up-to ten times more efficient than previous versions, hopefully making browsing YouTube a less stressing experience. Flash Player 10.2 introduces several new features, including mouse cursor options for developers, full-screen playback support for multiple monitors, and IE9 rendering support. However, it's a new optimized video-playback technology that caught our eye: Called Stage Video, it'll shift the performance load from the CPU over to the GPU. A demo video (below) showcased the upcoming version of Flash Player on both a PC and Apple's new 11-inch MacBook Air. In the video, CPU usage on the MacBook Air (which doesn't even ship with Adobe Flash) spikes to around 125% of CPU usage when playing a 1080p clip, but when Stage Video is enabled, the CPU load drops to an impressive average of around 10%. These are welcome and impressive changes, but in order to for the improvements to be seen for real, Websites will have to upgrade their video players to support Adobe's Stage Video technology. Thankfully, YouTube has implemented support for Stage Video, and it is expected that others, such as Vimeo, will follow. If you want to check out Adobe's latest performance claims for yourself, you can download a beta of the new Flash Player now and head on over to YouTube to get testing. Are you happy to see improvements to Flash Player, or are you waiting for the day in which HTML 5 video playback rules the roost?

Administrator DKT27 Posted December 16, 2010 Administrator Share Posted December 16, 2010 This looks great. Not everything is yet going to be available in HTML5, Adobe taking efforts for Flash Player is a plus if you ask me. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamHaters Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Good news! (Y) As long as Adobe can minimize the exploits it has in the products then HTML5 wont be beating it anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioActive Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 It sounds good in theory, but when they stuff like "up-to ten times more efficient than previous versions" I can't help but be skeptic about it because it doesn't sound too realistic. I guess we'll have to wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
