After Beta 3 RC1 here Flash 10.1 next version of Adobe Flash Player. To recall, the main novelty of this version is the use of equipment for decoding H.264, commonly used for Internet video. A lot of bugs have been fixed, particularly in the case of video acceleration, and the appearance of artifacts when hardware decompression is used is less common with this new version. In corrections, the stress that prevented users of Transmeta processors to use YouTube.

In terms of acceleration, remember that it requires Windows (XP 32-bit Vista or 7 in 32 or 64 bits) and the following cards are compatible: the Radeon 4000 (and more), Mobility Radeon 4000 (and more), and PGI few FirePro 3000 and 4000, Broadcom BCM70010 and BCM70012 (not the current 70,015), the IGP Intel GMA 500, 4xxx and integrated with those Intel Core i and finally enjoying NVIDIA VP2 decoding engine or all GeForce 8 and above except the original models (8800 GTX, Ultra and some GTS). Finally, note that decoding is of course available on video in H.264 and some cards do not support all formats.

The RC1 is available for Linux, Mac OS X and Windows and a beta is also available for Solaris. The final version should land relatively quickly.
