Given the amount of hype Apple has created with the exclusion of Adobe Flash from the iPhone / iPod touch and iPad its certain that people are looking at ways to consumer Flash content on these devices. While Apple’s argument of depreciated performance with Flash is justified, the point is simple – Over 90% of worlds websites use Flash currently and HTML5 is a distant technology.
So how will one workaround to get Flash on the iPad? or possibly even the iPhone / iPod touch. RipCode V6 is the answer to this!
TransAct Transcoder V6 codec by RipCode converts Flash content on the fly and renders the same in a container for the iPad. Using this codek users can easily load Flash content on their webpages. Technically here Flash isn’t playing on the iPad, but the codek detects and converts Flash into a iPad compatible format without troubling the user. RipCode can also do this conversion server side, but running the process on the iPad itself is a good option given that there is enough horse power in the device to handle this. Hope Apple receives this hack better than the others, which it has tried to kill via firmware upgrades.
RipCode’s Transactional Transcoding platform enables an alternate and immediate solution to this issue, opening up video content to users without requiring the content hoster to move to HTML5 or pre-transcode entire video libraries from Flash to an iPad-accepted container format. By transcoding the content ‘in the cloud’, it is essentially analogous to a network-based Flash to MP4 or MPEG-TS video adaption layer.
