Finally!! The BBC has caught up with the rest of the web and moved it's video player from the awful Real player to Flash!!
A while ago Aral posted on how the BBC didn't get video on the web and at the time I agreed but understood that BBC isn't a normal website, and changing over may not be that simple.
However the new player looks great and makes watching videos a breeze! You can also embed the videos into your blog (see below), just like YouTube and every other video site out there.
From BBC NewsApparently I have to add ( the From BBC News bit!!!)So what do you think? Well tell them here
Update:
Apparently they started the trial in May and there are a few stories out there using it, including this video of Tomb Raider Legend. For more info have a look at this story.
