I thought I'd start off a little discussion on possible topics for the May meeting and perhaps pull a speaker out of the crowd -- last I heard we are still in search of a topic/speaker for May?
Maybe not of interest to all, but how about Video on the web? Streaming vs. Progressive. Host it internally with a custom built player vs. running it off YouTube. Why go through a third party, who has the best player? Video on the web vs. video on the web for mobile devices. Video and accessibility, is it all about having a transcript? And of course, how do I do cool sh!t on my site with video??
Progressive can work in many cases, especially if you don't have access to a Flash Media Server (or something similar). I do a lot of Flash Video, with custom players that I build. For smaller clients, the player usually progressively loads a local FLV file. For larger clients who need streaming, the same Flash based player can be set to play streams of Akamai.
