Adobe Flash CS4: Converting QuickTime Movie into Flash H.264: Part 1 – Introduction

In this short video tutorial series, we will use Adobe Media Encoder CS4 and Adobe Flash (Professional) CS4 to convert a QuickTime movie into a Flash video. Actually, we showed how to do it more than two years ago. This time, we are going to compress a video stream not with On2 VP6 or Sorenson Spark but with H.264. Doing so requires that you use Adobe Media Encoder. We intend to produce at least three video tutorials in this series.

The goal of this video tutorial series is to convert a QuickTime movie that we created a week ago into the following Flash video.

Unreal Tournament 3 game play video

About 8 years ago, I remember having been to CompUSA in Oklahoma City and grabbed a copy of Unreal Tournament for Mac. I had no prior knowledge about the game. When I played it, it was a totally different experience. I played Unreal Tournament 2003, too. A great game… Unreal Tournament 2004? It’s sort of a rip-off game because it uses the same maps from the previous versions, right?

Unreal Tournament debuted on the Mac platform, at first. Then the PC version was released 9 months later. Okay, how about the latest version? Midway/Epic Games released the PC version of Unreal Tournament 3 on November 19, 2007. Even the X 360 version is now available. We know that MacSoft is working on the Mac version. But we don’t know when it’s available.

Just several hours ago, I played the PC version of Unreal Tournament 3 on our iMac Core 2 Duo 2.8 GHz. I can’t say if it’s a good game to play because I just started.

Anyway, the following is a game play video for Unreal Tournament 3 that I recorded several hours ago. I just started, so I can tell you that I’m not a good player. Nonetheless, it’s a game play video that we want to share with other Mac gamers.  Continue reading →
