ABC loosening up on vid embedding
According to today’s Cynthia’s Cynopsis:
Big news from the ABC camp. The network, which led the industry in making programs available for iTunes and developed one of the best HD-quality video players on the net, is at last loosening its hold on its content to allow users to embed clips of its shows on blogs and personal profiles. ABC.com’s newly-enhanced video player, coming this fall, will also feature:
* True full screen viewing
* Enhanced navigation and video search capabilities allowing users to search for series graphically, alphabetically, by genre or popularity
* Content recommendation functions
* Closed captioning
* Parental ratings information for all full episode content
This will be a big deal for LOST bloggers, who have had to stick with screencaps and poor quality vid clips up to this point.
