Flash video in portrait?

July 3, 2008 11:15 AM

Does anyone know any flash video site that supports portrait as opposed to the traditional landscape view?

I'd like portrait view as default. If there isn't a site, perhaps there is a open source player that supports this (would I need to have the flash server to stream this?). Thanks in advance.

Why would you prefer this? As all video tends to be lanscape will you not just end up with a big letterbox black top and bottom?

Is it to integrate on your own site with your own fla files?

This player is one of the most popular. It should support any size/shape of video.

Oh, and no, you wouldn't need anything else except a video file in .flv format.

The JW_FLV player looks good, first tests have worked out.
thanks
