A quick glance at the present-day internet would seem to indicate that Adobe Flash is the obvious choice for embedding video in a web page. Is this accurate, or are they other effective choices? Does the choice of ASP.NET as a platform influence this decision?
Flash is certainly the most ubiquitous and portable solution. 98% of browsers have Flash installed. Other alternatives are Quicktime, Windows Media Player, or even Silverlight (Microsoft’s Flash competitor, which can be used to embed several video formats).
I would recommend using Flash (and it’s FLV video file format) for embedding your video unless you have very specific requirements as far as video quality or DRM.
