RipCode: Flash to show videos on iPhone and iPad

"If there is no solution, there is no problem." The U.S. RipCode, specializes in designing solutions to real-time video transcoding, this week announced the upcoming launch of an offer that would allow companies and media that play Flash video playback to provide their content on mobile devices from Apple, yet do not support the format supported by Adobe.

Real bone of contention between Apple and Adobe, not management of Flash technology with the iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad forced numerous sites and specialized services to encode their video content in a format that can be read on Apple's products. The constraint is important because it involves issuing two separate streams for one video and store on its servers two versions of a file.

As a workaround, RipCode is announcing the upcoming marketing of its "TransAct Transcoder V6, an application server capable of re-encoding on the fly Flash content when called by a product that is not compatible with this technology. In other words, when a user tries to read an iPad Flash video, it is rerouted in real time and seamlessly to a new video stream generated by the tool RipCode.

Performed server side, this manipulation has an elegant component that requires no special software on the client side. According RipCode, the solution TransAct Transcoder V6 easily take place in any system of streaming video from the moment it is based on a Linux-based, coupled with Intel processors. The question remains how much it will cost.
