HTML5 Video at Netflix
"Today, we’re excited to talk about proposed extensions to HTML5 video that enable playback of premium video content on the web.
We currently use Microsoft Silverlight to deliver streaming video to web browsers on the PC and Mac. It provides a high-quality streaming experience and lets us easily experiment with improvements to our adaptive streaming algorithms. But since Microsoft announced the end of life of Silverlight 5 in 2021, we need to find a replacement some time within the next 8 years. We'd like to share some progress we've made towards our goal of moving to HTML5 video."

Brooklyn makes some valid points..he/she may not present them well though.
I listened to the conf call yest and came away with a feeling of "next quarterish". G2 is 95% complete and the only estimation of 100% is by end of fiscal year (Aug 31).
The PlayMPE apps were promised late last year and now they are due by yr end. It is taking them over 4 years to complete the MPE upgrade..doesnt anyone else think this is taking way too long?
This company has an amazing technology tool kit but can only manage approx $1m/ qtr in revenue with it. The watermark/track/trace technology could be a biz in itself. DSNY secures billions of dollars of valuable digital content and this is all they generate doing so?
It is my opinion that a big player should just buy this company (and all of their IP/pdts/work in progress) so all of these products/projects we have been waiting patiently for can be implemented. I am still long and can see the enormous potential but I am questioning if this is the team that can execute in a timely manner.
