Well, Apple has finally decided enough is enough, and publicly sent another Salvo towards Adobe\’s broadsides…. Â And Adobe might just be happy about this one.
Apple makes hardware video decoding available to developers
In 10.6.3, Apple has now made a new \”Video Decode Acceleration Framework\” available. Â What does that mean? Â Adobe\’s number one reason why Flash on the Macintosh is so slow in comparison to Flash on Windows… Â Has been shattered.
Adobe has always blamed the lack of access to the hardware acceleration for the high CPU demands of the Macintosh version of flash. Â Adobe has officially said \”We will be enabling support for hardware accelerated video decoding for Flash Player on the Mac\”.
