The IBC show is about to come to a close here in Amsterdam and it’s been a big week for Internet video. The Adobe announcement regarding their support for H.264 within Flash 9 was the talk of the show among many of the attendees and video operators trying to figure out how to handle Microsoft SilverLight next to Adobe’s MovieStar.

It was also RipCode’s first opportunity for us to demonstrate, for a mass audience, the unique capabilities of the RipCode V4 transcoding appliance. RipCode is coming out of our stealth mode next week and our product and capabilities have surprised many who are first learning about us. The RipCode team is anxious to get back to the U.S. and begin following up on the opportunities and conversations that we’ve begun here in Amsterdam. We’ve taken quite a bit of video from the show. Give us a chance to edit it to a reasonable length, add some commentary and we’ll share it with you soon.

Update: Just saw this coverage of the IBC show by StreamingMedia.com which validates the advancement of and demand for the IPTV ecosystem.
