While I suggested mainstream techies avoid Flash 10.1 Beta 1, the new beta is much better. 1080p YouTube now works flawlessly in Windows and Mac OS X.

It’s actually quite impressive, especially considering Apple won’t let folks author QuickTime X plug-ins.

I do have to take this moment to warn Apple that 2014 could very much be like 1984, and Flash Video could easily unseat QuickTime at this rate… when app makers like VLC cry foul, you know something is on the wrong track.

A great torture test for FLV GPU Acceleration is the 2010 Cadillac SRX commercial…
