Adobe Media Player Now Available

09 Apr, 2008, 2:00 pm IST | tech2 News Staff | Windows

Adobe has announced the immediate availability of Adobe Media Player 1.0 software.

An Adobe AIR application, this customizable, cross-platform media player can provide playback of streamed, downloaded or locally-stored video in the Adobe Flash format. Consumers can download video outside the browser in the Adobe Flash format, which can be viewed in 1080p, 720p or 480i video display resolutions.

Users can also subscribe to television shows and other online video content and then automatically receive new episodes of the shows as they become available. To help viewers discover new content, a broad, searchable catalog of shows from leading media companies and networks is available and it is expected that it will expand to include video from additional broadcasters, studios and independent producers.

Some of the initial content available on Adobe Media Player includes: CSI: New York, CSI: Miami, Big Brother, Star Trek, Melrose Place, Hawaii Five-O, The Twilight Zone and MacGyver from CBS; clips from The Hills, MTV News and Yo! MTV Raps from MTV Networks; select shows on HGTV, Food Network, DIY Network and Fine Living Network from Scripps Networks; Epicurious.com, Style.com and Wired.com from CondNet; PBS programming and music videos from Universal Music Group. Additional content from MTV Networks' brands including MTV, Nickelodeon, COMEDY CENTRAL, VH1, CMT, Logo, Spike, The N, GameTrailers and Atom Films will be made available over the next several months.

"With Adobe Media Player, we're bringing viewers and content owners closer together, with an experience that doesn't constrain them by platform or proprietary software application," said John Loiacono, senior vice president of Creative Solutions at Adobe. "It's a merger of TV Guide and DVR for Internet video content. Some great shows, like The Hills from MTV and CSI from CBS, is already available to view and more will be coming soon."

Adobe Media Player is immediately available as a free download for Windows and Macintosh platforms from here.
