C increasing popularity of mobile devices more and more people looking at them videos, including at various sites. Each site must decide what format to encode video on their pages. According to the site Encoding.com, which encodes a million videos for about 1400 customers, including MTV, 78% of all video is encoded for the device IOS (iPhone, iPad, iPod), and only 4% – for Android. The remaining 18% is the format 3GP.

Of course, this does not mean that Android can be viewed only 4% of all video on the internet, because there is still Flash, MPEG-4, etc. It is something else: the Encode.com is preset, allowing you to select which platform video will be optimized. And optimization for Android picks only 4% of our customers.

However, CEO Jeff Malkin Encoding (Jeff Malkin) notes that although iOS still dominates the Internet video, the proportion of Android is gradually increasing. He also said that is rapidly gaining popularity format H.264. C on the other hand, the share of Windows Media (WMV) has steadily decreased and now stands at just 1.2%.

The site AppleInsider citing CNET wrote that Apple is in talks with movie studios to secure their agreement to create a cloud storage films, which can connect with any device, be it computer, iPhone or iPad. Recently, similar negotiations with Apple led record companies over the same storage for music content.

It is noteworthy here is that AppleInsider a year ago, wrote about the existence of a project called iTunes Replay, which allows to remotely store and view movies purchased from the iTunes Store. After that, nothing about it was known – until this day.

One of the main problems faced by buyers of digital movies and TV shows, is the complexity of their storage. Many iTunes customers complained that they have to either erase after viewing the films, or buy new hard drives or burn them to DVD. The Apple decided once and for all solve this problem, sparing users from having to download all files on your computer: they can be stored on the server and view streaming (with broadband connection).

The main difficulties in the projects of this type is not so much technical as legal. Not all studios are ready to enter into contracts with Apple on favorable terms.

It is clear that the latest blockbusters to us, no one would look for just so, so all movies are likely to be related to the classics of cinema Sony Pictures.

On the Internet rumor that YouTube is now negotiating with the Sony Pictures film about the possibility of providing access to full-length films. Video allegedly insisted that the films can be viewed free of charge and receive revenue only from advertising.

Remember that YouTube has been able to agree with many music producers to host music videos on the same terms. In addition, MGM Film has already good at showing some of his TV show.

The most important condition

If the rumors have a real reason, it is possible to expect loyalty Sony Pictures. But the main problem, which should excite the giant film industry – is the threat of the proliferation of content. Suppose, html-codes will not be available, but how to deal with programs such as RealPlayer, as well as spetsservisami on the Internet, which can within a short time to download movies from YouTube? ..

In spite of all, let us hope that the Video under the patronage of the great Google will continue to cooperate with the film and the excellent results achieved in this direction.
