i don’t know how i managed to open adobe’s media player, but i did. at first i was annoyed (partially because it’s a video player and it somehow has a f’n splash screen that reads my preferences for 15 seconds), but, given that i’ve recently become interested in learning a bit of after effects, i decided to poke around. i clicked a video that was a feature tour of after effects (one of those promo-type videos) right off the home page, and, wait for it, the player failed to play the video because the format was “unsupported by the adobe media player.”
so, let me get this straight: adobe’s custom media player, designed to play adobe media, was unable to play a video promoted by adobe on their homepage, which featured CONTENT SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO SHOW HOW AWESOME ADOBE IS.
your stupid proprietary player can’t play the content you created to promote your products. staggering. you lose at everything.
