This morning while surfing through Adobe’ s website, I’ve came across this press article:

Looks like Adobe is moving into some fields that have been ruled for a long time by Telestream and Flix, I’m really wondering how things are going to look like in the future. While Telestream’s Flipfactory can create almost every kind of output files and on2′s Flix only creates Flash. Adobe’s FMES solution is entering the automated encoding market by only creating flv and f4v files.
With 6000$ licensing prices they are entering the marketing with a midrange price segment. I don’t remember exactly how much on2′s flix licenses do cost, but I remember those being pretty much expensive, whilst not talking about Flipfactor’s telestream being even more expensive (but it has more options then anyother server based encoding solution)
I’m really lookling forward to get my hands on FMES and spend a few hours testing it.
